All Blndspt cloud engineers are required to have backgrounds in advanced software development disciplines. As such, advanced development cloud certifications are required (certified cloud developer, certified cloud architect).
At Blndspt we believe in building fruitful and efficient partnerships. Blndspt has partnered with Amazon, Microsoft, Pulumi, and others to bring you the most efficient cloud service imaginable.
Nearly half of our engineers are author courses for PluralSight or some similar training platform. Teaching galvanizes knowledge both through clients and community.
Blndspt and Elevation Software engineers not only build applications, but they build the IaC that represents and deploys the applications. As such, our engineers are well positioned to build cloud applications, workloads, and associated IaC.
Whether it’s AWS re:Invent, Microsoft Ignite, or just local meetup groups, engineers are required to speak at and/or attend local groups to both acquire and spread the most critical knowledge.
Training is required for all engineers, regardless of tenure and certification level. Products and services change, so we change and grow with them. Becoming stale is not in our DNA.
DevOps Means Development Operations
We Teach. We Preach. We Implement. We Automate.
The industry tends to forget that DevOps stands for ‘Development Operations’. As a result, the general focus with current cloud engineering is focused predominantly on ‘Operations’ with a complete oversight of ‘Development’. You cannot build a workload in the cloud without developing it in some way. Current statistics show that 80% of all cloud architects come from a background in networking, hardware, or general infrastructure. We (stubbornly) come from engineering and development. Architecting a cloud solution is only a fraction of the lifecycle. Once a plan is devised, SOMEONE has to implement and automate the architecture (and let me give you a hint that it’s not a hardware or network engineer, it’s a developer).
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
The key cloud concept defining environmental and resource automation is IaC. IaC defines the plan conceived by the architect and facilitates the automation for it. Manually building resources in today’s cloud world is a waste. It has to be automated to survive the long-planned lifecycle of the resource. In comes IaC automation.
Considering itself one of the foremost exports in the world, Blndspt has mastered all forms of cloud development automation, and can help you build a fully button-click environmental strategy regardless of size.
“Blndspt has built the only UI-driven Infrastructure Automation System in the world geared towards modelling IaC as a service you can provide to your environment managers. No one else has done what these guys can do.”
Imagine requesting (or custom building) a complete environment with a few button clicks following all of your standards and guidelines that is fully managed and ready in minutes. These are the paths we take with our customers, and these are the barriers we regularly shatter.
