SOLUTIONS WE PROVIDE
DevOps
DevOps Consulting and Services
We start every DevOps engagement with a thorough review of your existing CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and version control practices. Our team identifies bottlenecks, single points of failure, and manual handoff points that are slowing your team down or creating unnecessary risk. We assess your security posture across dev, staging, and production environments, then deliver a written toolchain gap analysis with a prioritized remediation roadmap — all within 5 business days.
Platform Engineering
Lewis IT designs and maintains the internal developer platforms your engineering team actually wants to use. We build golden paths — standardized, self-service infrastructure templates and deployment patterns — so your developers ship features faster without waiting on ops. Whether you're standardizing on Kubernetes, Terraform modules, or internal service catalogs, we handle the platform so your team handles the product.
CI/CD Services
From first commit to production deployment, Lewis IT designs CI/CD pipelines that are fast, reliable, and built around your existing workflow. We implement automated testing gates, security scanning, and environment-specific promotion controls so every release is validated before it ships. Whether you're on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, we configure pipelines that reduce deployment risk and eliminate the manual steps that slow your team down.
DevOps Cloud Services
Infrastructure as Code
Lewis IT converts your manually managed infrastructure into version-controlled, repeatable Terraform and Ansible code — eliminating click-ops and configuration drift for good. We build modular, reusable IaC templates committed to your source control, with drift detection and automated remediation to ensure your environments stay in sync. State management, remote backends, and environment parity across dev, staging, and production are all built into the foundation from day one.
Cloud Infrastructure Design
Lewis IT architects cloud environments that are secure, scalable, and right-sized for your actual workload — not over-engineered for a Fortune 500. We design Azure and AWS infrastructure using proven reference architectures, with network segmentation, IAM policies, and cost guardrails built in from day one. Every design is documented and handed off in a format your team can own and operate
Cloud Migration
Whether you're moving off on-premises hardware, consolidating data centers, or migrating between cloud providers, Lewis IT manages the process end to end. We assess your current environment, map dependencies, sequence the migration to minimize disruption, and run parallel validation before any cutover. Hybrid environments — where some workloads stay on-prem — are our specialty.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Cloud bills grow fast when no one is watching. Lewis IT conducts regular spend reviews to identify oversized instances, idle resources, unused storage, and licensing waste. We implement tagging policies, budget alerts, and rightsizing recommendations that typically reduce monthly cloud spend by 20–35% without impacting performance. Cost optimization is included in our ongoing managed cloud engagements — not sold as a separate audit.
Kubernetes Management
Kubernetes Cluster Management
Lewis IT provisions, hardens, and manages Kubernetes clusters across Azure AKS, AWS EKS, and self-hosted environments running on Proxmox or bare metal. We configure RBAC, namespace isolation, and network policies to enforce least-privilege access from the start, and handle automated certificate management, secrets rotation, and persistent storage so your cluster is production-ready — not just running. Upgrade planning and zero-downtime cluster migrations are included as part of ongoing management.
Container Management
Lewis IT manages the full container lifecycle — from base image standardization and vulnerability scanning to registry management, runtime policies, and production readiness reviews. We implement image signing, admission controllers, and automated patching pipelines so your container environment stays secure as it scales. Running Proxmox or a hybrid on-prem/cloud setup? That's exactly where our container expertise runs deepest.
Wordpress in Kubernetes
Running WordPress in Kubernetes unlocks horizontal scaling, automated failover, and consistent deployment pipelines that traditional shared hosting can't match. Lewis IT containerizes your WordPress environment with proper persistent volume handling, database clustering, Redis caching layers, and Traefik ingress configuration — delivering enterprise-grade reliability for your WordPress-powered sites without enterprise-sized infrastructure bills.
Site Reliability Engineering
Observability
Lewis IT implements full-stack observability so you always know what your systems are doing and why. We set up centralized logging with structured aggregation and retention policies, deploy Prometheus and Grafana for metrics and dashboarding, and configure distributed tracing for microservice and API performance visibility. Uptime monitoring with multi-region probes and SLA reporting is included, with alerting routed to Matrix, Slack, PagerDuty, or whichever channel your team actually watches.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Lewis IT designs and tests backup strategies that actually work when you need them — not just policies that exist on paper. We implement automated, encrypted backups with offsite replication, define recovery time and recovery point objectives aligned to your business requirements, and run scheduled restore tests to verify integrity. When an incident happens, you'll have a tested runbook, not a guessing game.
Performance Optimization
Slow infrastructure is a business problem, not just a technical one. Lewis IT conducts performance profiling across your application stack, database queries, network paths, and cloud resource configuration to identify where time and money are being lost. We implement targeted optimizations — caching layers, query tuning, CDN configuration, and autoscaling policies — and measure the before-and-after impact so improvements are quantified, not assumed.
Security Hardening
Lewis IT conducts CIS Benchmark assessments across your Linux hosts, cloud accounts, and container runtimes, then remediates the gaps — not just documents them. We review network segmentation, clean up firewall rules, and audit your secrets management practices to eliminate hardcoded credentials and plaintext configs. Privileged access is reviewed and tightened to least-privilege IAM policies, with SIEM integration providing continuous threat detection and compliance reporting going forward.
Configuration Management
Inconsistent server configurations are one of the leading causes of security incidents and hard-to-reproduce bugs. Lewis IT implements Ansible-based configuration management that enforces a known-good baseline across every server in your fleet — on-premises or cloud. Changes are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and applied idempotently, so your infrastructure behaves the same in production as it does in staging, every time.
Monitoring & Support
Lewis IT provides 24/7 infrastructure monitoring backed by a team that knows your environment. We don't just alert — we respond. Our support engagements include defined SLAs, on-call escalation paths, and automated runbook execution for common incident types. Monthly engineering reviews keep your stack proactively optimized rather than reactively patched, and every support interaction is logged and visible through our Support Portal

FAQs
How do you determine the cost of each project?
The cost of providing services at each stage depends on the number of required engineering hours. The cost of services and the implementation period at the Implementation stage can be fixed. The option of incident management 24/7 is paid additionally
What are the stages of service provision?
a) Review — familiarization with the current infrastructure, problems, wishes of developers and owners, and creation of a roadmap of works with a time estimate. Depending on the complexity of the infrastructure and the available documentation, the review requires from 2 to 60 hours of engineer and PM working time. The result: a ready-made roadmap with a time estimate and a prescribed sequence of actions for building the desired infrastructure and carrying out the necessary migrations.
b) Implementation — implementation of the roadmap. According to the agreements, we allocate the necessary number of engineering hours and engage the necessary specialists to complete the roadmap on time. Our PM organizes the work of DevOps engineers, monitors the execution of tasks, and provides reports to the customer. Result: all tasks of the roadmap completed within the stipulated time. The infrastructure has been created or improved according to the roadmap, and the necessary migrations have been carried out.
c) Support 24/7 — programmer support and Incident management 24/7 services. Lewis IT monitors the operation of all systems around the clock, identifies failures and immediately takes actions necessary to restore normal operation. The result: maximum availability of the customer’s services and no downtime for the customer’s programmers.
Do you assist with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines?
Yes. By providing DevOps managed services we specialize in adopting best CI/CD practices on our client’s projects.
How do your DevOps engineers communicate with the customer's team?
We use three channels of interaction:
JIRA — all tasks and time logging are displayed in our JIRA and are available to the customer and their employees.
Slack — a shared channel in Slack allows the customer’s engineers to quickly communicate with Lewis IT’s DevOps engineers.
Weekly sync-up calls with engineers and PMs guarantee the most transparent communication. These calls enable the customer to be aware of the progress of the work, receive the necessary consultations, and make changes to the roadmap.
How do you ensure the security and reliability of the DevOps infrastructure?
We use up-to-date solutions in projects' infrastructure, checks and updates versions of our testing/building containers, and runtime. Performing a scan of our services on vulnerabilities allows us to eliminate them in the first phases. Enabling scaling mechanisms makes applications more stable and available for our clients. Moreover, we have experience in implementing different monitoring systems from cloud-native to third-party services, so we are well-informed about any incidents or problems in applications.
Can you handle both cloud-based and on-premise DevOps environments?
Absolutely. Our Managed DevOps services cover both cloud infrastructure management and on-premise configuration services.
