Confidential DevOps & build environment
Private, self-hosted engineering infrastructure for teams building C++, cloud applications, and local AI—delivered as an auditable, isolated stack you can run in your VPC, on-prem, or on dedicated hardware.
Executive summary
CI/CD, artifact storage, secrets, and internal docs—without putting source code, build outputs, signing keys, or proprietary datasets into multi-tenant SaaS.
We deliver a confidential-by-default DevOps platform that keeps your IP inside a private network boundary while still giving engineers a fast, ergonomic workflow.
What’s included (reference architecture)
These building blocks are tailored to your topology and constraints.
Core platform
- Source control + code review: self-hosted Git (GitLab, Bitbucket, Forgejo) with LDAP/AD integration when needed
- CI/CD: Jenkins or GitLab CI with pipeline/configuration as code for auditability
- Packages + artifacts (C++): Conan proxy/server, binary retention, and dependency provenance
- Secrets + PKI: Vault-backed secret delivery, short-lived credentials, and automated TLS issuance/rotation
- Developer portal: internal wiki for runbooks, architecture docs, and onboarding
Operations baseline
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/OpenTofu (recommended) so environments are reviewable and repeatable
- Data + storage: PostgreSQL plus NAS/NFS patterns for shared build caches and persistent volumes
- Backups + restores: runbooks and a validation plan for restore confidence
- Patch/upgrade cadence: standardized lifecycle actions with clear change control
- Monitoring hooks: integrations with your observability stack (logs/metrics/alerts)
Outcomes you can expect
Practical results for speed, control, and operational safety.
Faster builds
Consistent toolchains reduce “works on my machine” failures.
Supply-chain control
Internal artifact hosting with explicit promotion and retention policies.
Reduced credential risk
Secrets stay out of Git; access is scoped and rotated.
Lower operational drag
Standardized lifecycle actions with clear runbooks.
AI enablement without leakage
Local models and assistants operating inside your network boundary.
Security & confidentiality posture
Designed to keep IP, build outputs, and datasets inside your boundary.
Baseline controls
- Single-tenant / dedicated deployment (no shared control plane)
- Private networking by default (VPN/peered VPC/on-prem LAN)
- TLS everywhere with internal CA and managed rotation
- Least privilege via directory groups and scoped policies
Auditability & ownership
- Infrastructure + configuration treated as code
- Reviewable pipeline libraries and system configuration
- Runbooks for update, rotate, and recover workflows
- Documentation and handoff so you can own it after delivery
Service package options
Choose a starting point, then add hardening and migration as needed.
Foundation
Identity integration, core DevOps services, backups, monitoring hooks, and documented runbooks.
Build & release (C++ focus)
Conan workflows, build caching strategy, toolchains/agents, and artifact promotion + retention policy.
AI‑Ready
Local model runtime, approved model set, isolated access to repos/artifacts, and usage guardrails.
Add-ons: HA ingress, multi-site DR, air-gapped operation, compliance-oriented hardening, migration from existing CI/SCM, and custom pipeline libraries.
Engagement model (recommended)
Phased delivery to reduce risk and validate workflows early.
- Discovery (1–2 weeks): requirements, threat model, target topology, and rollout plan
- Pilot (2–4 weeks): minimal stack for one team/project; validate build, release, and access flows
- Production rollout (2–6+ weeks): hardening, HA/DR (if needed), migration, documentation, and training
- Ongoing operations (optional): patching cadence, vulnerability response, backups/restore tests, and change management
