• Evaluate the current SDLC tooling landscape and recommend improvements: including AI-augmented options.
• Document the current infrastructure architecture including hosting, server topology, load balancing, caching, monitoring, logging, and disaster recovery, and assess current deployment processes for maturity and environment parity.
• Design the target-state DevOps architecture, including CI/CD pipeline design, environment strategy, containerization, Infrastructure as Code, and observability strategy.
• Conduct surface-level security scanning using dependency analysis and SAST tools, identify known vulnerabilities and review secrets management practices, and recommend further assessment where significant findings warrant it.
