Achievement recognizes automation-driven approach to cloud management

Logicworks, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Consulting and AWS Managed Services Partner, announced today that it is part of the inaugural group of APN Partners that have achieved the AWS Partner Network (APN) DevOps Competency. To achieve the APN DevOps Competency, Logicworks has proven its ability to work with customers to adopt DevOps principles, methodologies, and tools focusing on continuous integration, continuous delivery and configuration management.

“As organizations continue to deploy multi-tiered applications on AWS, DevOps has become increasingly more important to a successful production process,” says Jason McKay, SVP & CTO, Logicworks. “Our automation-driven approach to cloud management has significantly improved our customers’ DevOps and IT teams, while still delivering enterprise-grade security. Our background as a managed services provider has propelled us into our current position, and has made combining operations and development teams a seamless process through the entire service lifecycle.”

By leveraging custom architecture automation, deployment automation, and configuration management, IT teams can deploy in minutes, maintain high availability and security standards, and fuel low-risk experimentation. Because of the advanced automation required for DevOps, Logicworks’ clients push code rapidly, onto highly responsive architecture guaranteed to adhere to complex security and design protocols designed specifically for the applications they run.

Logicworks CloudCode DevOps practice has been implemented with several customers using AWS support scalability, security controls, and automation process. For example, Logicworks helped Partylite, a leading party plan company, with integrated application and infrastructure through DevOps for self-scaling and self-healing to ensure their applications are always available, compliant, and secure.

To learn more about Logicworks’ APN DevOps Competency and CloudCode practice, visit the team at AWS re:Invent 2015 at Booth 1324 or www.logicworks.net.
