Backups, Monitoring and CI/CD — Hosting DevOps service

Professional design, setup and continuous monitoring of backup systems, disaster recovery and automated CI/CD pipelines. The goal: stability 24/7/365, predictable releases and minimal risk of data loss.

Main advantages

Reliable backups

3-2-1 strategy, offsite/immutable backups, encryption and test recoveries.

Continuous monitoring

We monitor backup tasks, capacity, repository health and SLA alarms.

Mature CI/CD

GitOps, blue/green and canary releases, automated checks and safe rollbacks.

What the service includes

Backups & recovery

  • RPO/RTO evaluation and retention policy definition.
  • 3-2-1 model: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite/cloud.
  • Immutable/object storage, deduplication and compression.
  • Encryption during transfer and at rest, key/secret management.
  • Planning and testing of recoveries (drills, game days).
  • Monitoring of tasks, capacity and correctness of snapshots.
  • Documented procedures for disaster recovery (DR runbooks).

CI/CD & automation

  • Pipelines design: build, tests, security, release, rollback.
  • GitOps with Argo CD/Flux, IaC with Ansible/Terraform.
  • Blue/green & canary deployments, progressive delivery.
  • Quality gates: linting, unit/integration tests, SBOM.
  • Dependency and container image scanning (supply-chain).
  • Access and approval policies, audit logging, traceability.
  • Continuous monitoring: metrics, logs, alerts, SLI/SLO.

Security, compliance and risks

We follow best practices, compatible with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR — minimal privileges, MFA, segmentation, audit and vulnerability management. For increased risk of hacker attacks (ransomware, supply‑chain, insider access) we recommend additional controls such as WAF/IDS/IPS, EDR/AV, vault for secrets, immutable backup layers and extended monitoring. Note: some of these solutions require additional licenses and can lead to monthly additional costs according to the selected software and scale.

Methodology and best practices

Backups

  • 3-2-1(+0): immutable layer and offline copy.
  • Regular test recoveries and backup validation.
  • Retention policies and lifecycle management.

CI/CD

  • Trunk-based development and peer review.
  • Automated tests and security gates before production.
  • Progressive deployment and quick rollback in case of problems.

Monitoring

  • SLI/SLO and alarms with clear thresholds.
  • Runbooks, postmortems, continuous improvement.
  • Drift detection for IaC and configurations.
