DevOps, Platform, and Infrastructure Consulting Services

Question 1

What's actually included in a DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engagement?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you need. Some clients start with a short paid DevOps or platform engineering audit that ends in a prioritized findings report. Others go straight into implementation: CI/CD pipelines built, infrastructure as code written, an internal developer platform (IDP) delivered, or a microservices migration executed. We scope the deliverables with you before anything starts, so there's no ambiguity about what "DevOps consulting" or "platform engineering" means for your project specifically.

Question 2

Do Keyhole's DevOps and platform engineering consultants work inside our team, or run the project independently?

Accepted Answer

Either way, based on what you need. We offer staff augmentation, where our DevOps and platform engineering consultants embed with your team, and fully managed delivery, where we run the infrastructure or microservices engagement and report back on progress. Most clients land somewhere in between.
It truly comes down to what the goal and complexity of your DevOps or Infrastructure initiative is. We offer flexible engagement models to meet your project&rsquo;s unique needs:Software Outsourcing

Question 3

Can Keyhole build on our existing DevOps pipelines and cloud infrastructure instead of starting over?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most platform engineering and infrastructure automation engagements start with an assessment of your existing CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and tooling, and we build from there rather than ripping out working systems. We'll tell you directly if something is worth keeping versus replacing.

Question 4

How do I choose the right DevOps consulting or platform engineering company?

Accepted Answer

Look for full-time, U.S.-based engineers rather than subcontracted or offshore staff, a track record with organizations your size, and a partner who will tell you what to keep from your existing DevOps pipelines and cloud infrastructure instead of pushing a full rebuild. Keyhole's consultants average 17+ years of experience, and 78% of our DevOps and platform engineering projects last year were with repeat clients.

Question 5

How much does DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure consulting cost?

Accepted Answer

Every Keyhole engagement, whether it's a DevOps audit, a platform engineering build, or an infrastructure automation project, is billed time and material against a defined scope. We scope the work with you up front, so you know what's included and roughly what it will take, then you're billed hourly for the actual work performed rather than paying a lump sum estimate that doesn't reflect what the project needed.
