What is DevOps as a Service (DaaS)?
DevOps as a Service (DaaS) is a specialized offering provided by Bion, tailored for organizations seeking to optimise their software development and deployment processes. At its core, DaaS is about leveraging the expertise of Bion's skilled engineers to enhance your development and cloud-based operations workflows, using a combination of tools, automation, and best practices. Highlights of Bion's DaaS offering:
Infrastructure Provisioning and Configuration
Our engineers meticulously architect and provision infrastructure optimised for cloud-based application development. Leveraging leading cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, we deploy scalable server clusters, configure resilient networking architectures, and implement high-performance databases tailored to your application's needs in cloud-based environments.
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD)
We implement sophisticated CI/CD pipelines tailored for cloud-based application development workflows. Leveraging cloud-native services, we automate every stage of the development lifecycle, enabling rapid iteration, seamless testing, and frictionless deployment of new features and updates in cloud-based environments.
Tooling and Automation
Harnessing the power of cloud-native tools and automation frameworks, we streamline development workflows and boost developer productivity in cloud-based environments. From version control systems to containerization platforms, we ensure that you have the right tools to accelerate innovation and drive business growth in cloud-based environments.

Benefits of Choosing DaaS
Cost Efficiency
DaaS eliminates the need for upfront investments in tools and personnel. You can avoid the overhead costs associated with maintaining in-house DevOps teams, such as salaries, benefits, training, and infrastructure expenses. Pay-as-you-go models ensure you only pay for the services they use, optimising cost-effectiveness.
Agility and Flexibility
DaaS offers the agility to scale resources up or down based on project demands and business growth. You can quickly adapt to market changes and seize new opportunities without the constraints of fixed internal teams.
Access to Specialised Expertise
By partnering with us, companies gain access to a team of seasoned DevOps professionals with diverse skill sets and extensive experience. This expertise covers a wide range of domains, including cloud platforms, containerization, automation, security, and more, ensuring comprehensive support for complex projects.
Accelerated
Time-to-Market
DaaS streamlines development and deployment processes, enabling faster delivery of software updates and new features. Automation of repetitive tasks and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines minimises manual intervention, reducing deployment times and improving release frequency.
Enhanced Reliability and Stability
DaaS providers implement robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response mechanisms to ensure the reliability and stability of applications and infrastructure. Proactive monitoring identifies and addresses issues before they impact end-users, minimising downtime and enhancing user experience.
Focus on Core Business Objectives
By outsourcing DevOps responsibilities to us, you can redirect internal resources towards core business initiatives and strategic priorities. This allows teams to concentrate on product innovation, customer satisfaction, and revenue-generating activities, driving overall business growth.
Scalable Solutions for Growth
DaaS solutions are designed to scale alongside company growth, accommodating increased workloads, expanding user bases, and evolving business needs. Whether scaling infrastructure, optimising workflows, or implementing new technologies, DaaS offer scalable solutions tailored to company objectives.
Continuous Improvement and Innovation
Bion continuously evaluates and adopts the latest DevOps tools, methodologies, and best practices. You benefit from ongoing innovation and improvements without the burden of researching, testing, and implementing new technologies internally.
Choose the Right Working Model
At Bion, we understand that every organisation has unique needs when it comes to their DevOps and cloud operations. That's why we offer two flexible working models for our DevOps as a Service:
Dedicated Model: Extending Your DevOps/Cloud Team(s)
With our Dedicated Model, you have the option to extend your DevOps or cloud team(s) within minutes. This model is ideal for organisations that require a dedicated team of experts to work on their projects for a specific period of time. Here are the key features of the Dedicated Model:- Flexible Engagement: Choose between 3, 6, or 12-month options based on your project requirements. This allows you to scale up or down as needed.
- Seamless Collaboration: We provide a shared Slack channel for effective communication and collaboration between your team and our experts. This ensures smooth coordination and knowledge sharing.
- Task Management: Our dedicated team utilises a task board to track and manage project tasks. This provides transparency and keeps everyone aligned with project goals and progress.
- Regular Planning: Planning sessions are conducted to review project milestones, set goals, and discuss any updates or changes. This keeps the project on track and allows for timely adjustments if necessary.
- Trial and Engagement: We offer a 1-month trial period with a 12-month engagement option. This allows you to experience the benefits of our Dedicated Model before committing to a longer engagement.
Pool Engineer Model: On-Demand Access to Certified Engineers
For organisations that prefer flexibility and access to certified engineers on an as-needed basis, our Pool Engineer Model is the perfect fit. This model allows you to purchase credits that can be consumed throughout the year, with each credit equivalent to one hour of work. Here's how the Pool Engineer Model works:- Credit-Based System: When you require an engineer for a task, one of our certified engineers will be assigned to deliver the work. The duration of the task determines the number of credits consumed.
- Credit Consumption: For example, if a task takes 4 hours to complete, 4 credits will be deducted from your credit balance. This ensures fair and transparent billing based on the actual time spent on tasks.
- Monthly Invoicing: At the end of each month, we will invoice you for the total number of credits you have spent. This provides clear visibility into your usage and helps you manage your budget effectively.
- Flexibility to Top-Up: If you exhaust all your credits, you have the option to continue using "on-demand" credits as you need them. Alternatively, you can top-up your credit balance at any time to ensure uninterrupted access to our certified engineers.
