Azure DEVOPS - IAC
Be in control of your public cloud with Azure Infrastructure as Code. Stop making manual and/or undocumented changes!
Prevent manual actions and undocumented changes that eventually lead to the degradation of your Azure environment.
Also consider the other benefits of Azure Infrastructure as Code such as standardisation, increased security, speed of deployment and decreasing cost of management.
Standard operating procedure Instructure as Code
The change from traditional server management to a mature Operations role requires a new way of working and knowledge of new tools. A major part of the new way of working is Infrastructure as Code. Our vision is to view the entire infrastructure as code and treat it as if it were code for an application.
NovaGen provides your organisation with the means to develop code independently, or we can provide this as a service. But whatever choice you make, let’s start together to implement Infrastructure as Code.

Best practices
We use the following methods:
- Handle everything in code, so there is only one truth to what Azure should look like
- Use pipelines for the deployment of the entire Azure environment
- Maintain version control in code, for traceability purposes
- Integrate tests in Pipelines, so that errors in the code are noticed at an early stage
- Use of modules, thus promoting reuse and standardisation
- Prohibit manual changes, so that the code and reality always remain in line
- Establish rights and control in process and technology and thereby define ‘Who does what’ and ‘Who is allowed to do what
Providing a basic set-up with working examples
- Working templates
- Documentation
- Basic security
Providing a basic set-up and a basic pipeline
- All items from step 1
- Pragmatic training
- Pipeline for new applications
Providing a complete set-up with ready-made Pipelines and clear agreements
- Fully managed
- Customer = owner code
- Predictable processes
