The answer to the first question will surprise many: always. If your team deals with software development and integration, you can’t do without DevOps engineers, especially when it comes to microservice architecture and CI/CD approaches to integration and update deployment.
This IT profession is relatively new, but the need for DevOps services has been around for a long time. Previously, such tasks were performed by the most experienced developers and system engineers. It was not financially profitable and not efficient enough: programmers lacked administration experience, and administrators lacked development experience. DevOps engineers combined the strengths of these two professions.
In this field, the demand for professionals far outstrips the supply. That is why DevOps prices continue to rise. Not all companies can afford to have such an employee on staff. In addition, such professionals could be poached from their workplaces by competitors. The solution to this problem is outsourcing, which is exactly what OS.ECO offers you.
All kinds of things. When you entrust us with IT infrastructure planning and integration, you rely not on one employee, but on a team of experienced professionals applying the best DevOps methodologies. We have proven ourselves not only in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine, but also in England, Georgia, Latvia, Cyprus, and Malta. In these countries, OS.ECO has become synonymous with reliability, efficiency and versatility.

System administrators do not develop the product, unlike a DevOps engineer. Moreover, the DevOps engineer is involved in all product life cycles. The system administrator only uses the finished product.
DevOps engineer focuses on maximising the efficiency and security of software development.
Mostly DevOps work with open source tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Istio, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.
Yes, of course. Not everyone can keep DevOps on staff, especially if it’s a small business or non-IT company.
