5 Ways Remote DevOps Engineers Can Optimize Azure
The effectiveness of the Microsoft Azure cloud-based platform is predicated on its optimization and DevOps engineers can help tech companies optimize the platform to better achieve their goals. Built with a cloud-based platform, Microsoft Azure can be accessed from anywhere on the globe, which provides an added advantage for U.S.-based tech companies that choose to hire remote DevOps engineers from around the world.
Here is how remote DevOps engineers can optimize Microsoft Azure for your tech company:
1. Know and Understand Azure Services and Infrastructure
The most important thing that DevOps engineers can provide for tech companies that hope to implement Microsoft Azure is knowledge and expertise of the platform, its services, and its infrastructure. Azure DevOps provides a wealth of services that help manage the development of software and with DevOps engineers on your team, you can improve software applications.
2. Create a CI/CD Pipeline
The implementation of Microsoft Azure relies on an optimized Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery pipeline. This pipeline automates the delivery of software — from building and testing the software to deploying applications within the Azure platform. DevOps engineers can optimize this platform to enable companies to deliver new software faster and with fewer errors, more consistently.
3. Employ Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Infrastructure as Code treats infrastructure like software code to eliminate manual configurations of servers and networks with your own code. Remote DevOps engineers who understand the Azure platform and can employ IaC principles can automate key elements of the development process. With this knowledge, expertise, and principle technique, tech companies can ensure that their software is deployed consistently with minimal errors and increased efficiency no matter the environment.
4. Monitor and Analyze Performance
After the Microsoft Azure platform is implemented to help you automate and more effectively deploy software applications, it is important to monitor and analyze the performance of the platform. DevOps engineers play an important role in the use and analysis of Azure — employing tools and features like Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics to track key metrics within the platform. This helps identify key issues and find solutions to optimize performance with DevOps engineers possessing the ability to conduct performance tests.
5. Enhance Security and Compliance
Remote DevOps engineers that are well-versed in the Microsoft Azure platform can enhance the security and compliance of your software management. DevOps engineers can install security protocols that protect software identity, access, data, and help ensure compliance with regulations. These security and compliance protocols can be installed into the CI/CD pipeline by engineers to create a secure and streamlined process. DevOps engineers can also conduct security assessments and apply updates to maintain effective defenses.
