DevOps Consulting · Sydney, NSW
Ship software faster and break fewer things in production.
Your developers wait days for manual deployments. Your infrastructure is configured by hand, so environments drift and break in unpredictable ways. Incidents take hours to diagnose because there is no centralised logging. Human Nexus builds DevOps pipelines and infrastructure automation that let your team ship with confidence and sleep through the night.

Price, every engagement
The problems we fix.
Manual deployments are slow and error-prone
Every release is a ceremony: a senior developer runs a script, something breaks, and the afternoon is lost to troubleshooting. Automated CI/CD pipelines turn deployments into a push-button operation that runs consistently every time.
Infrastructure configured by hand drifts over time
Dev, staging, and production environments started the same but slowly diverged as manual changes accumulated. Infrastructure as Code eliminates drift by making your infrastructure configuration version-controlled, reviewed, and repeatable.
Incidents take too long to diagnose
Without centralised logging, metrics, and alerting, every incident starts with guesswork. We build observability pipelines that tell you what broke, where, and why, before your users notice.
How we deliver it.
01
Current state assessment
We review your deployment process, infrastructure, monitoring, and incident response. Identify the highest-impact improvements. Delivered as a one-page DevOps maturity assessment.
02
Pipeline design
CI/CD pipeline design tailored to your stack and deployment targets. Infrastructure as Code architecture. Monitoring and alerting strategy. Fixed-price quote for implementation.
03
Build and automate
CI/CD pipelines built and tested against your repositories. Infrastructure provisioned with Terraform or equivalent. Monitoring dashboards, alerts, and runbooks configured.
04
Handover and train
Your team trained on the new pipelines and infrastructure. Runbooks documented. 30 days of post-implementation support. Your team owns the infrastructure code.
What's included.
CI/CD pipeline implementation
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or Jenkins. Automated build, test, and deployment for web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and infrastructure.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Bicep, or Pulumi. Every piece of infrastructure defined in code, version-controlled in Git, and deployed through your CI/CD pipeline.
Containerisation and orchestration
Docker image builds, Amazon ECS/EKS, Azure AKS, GCP GKE. Container orchestration with auto-scaling, service discovery, and zero-downtime deployments.
Observability and monitoring
Centralised logging (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Grafana Loki), metrics (Prometheus, Datadog), distributed tracing, and intelligent alerting that surfaces real problems, not noise.
Security automation
Secret management (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault), dependency vulnerability scanning, container image scanning, infrastructure compliance checks (ASD Essential Eight, CIS benchmarks).
Incident response automation
Automated rollback on deployment failure, self-healing infrastructure rules, runbook automation, and on-call alerting integrated with PagerDuty or Opsgenie.
Why Human Nexus.
Practical, not academic
We build DevOps pipelines for real production environments, not conference talks. Every pipeline is tested against your actual codebase and deployment targets before we hand over.
Your team owns the infrastructure code
All Terraform modules, pipeline definitions, and monitoring configuration handed over in your Git repositories. Your team can modify, extend, and maintain everything independently.
Fixed price, defined scope
Each DevOps engagement is scoped and priced before work begins. No open-ended billing. Additional environments or services priced separately with your approval.
Australian infrastructure, Australian team
Sydney-based project lead manages delivery. Infrastructure deployed in Australian cloud regions by default. Data residency and APP compliance maintained throughout.
We have done this at scale
300+ automation processes deployed for a national care provider. CI/CD pipelines handling hundreds of deployments per month. Infrastructure managing tens of thousands of transactions daily.
ASD Essential Eight alignment
Infrastructure and pipeline design aligned with Australian Signals Directorate Essential Eight maturity model. Application control, patching, and MFA enforcement built into the pipeline.
Proof of work
300+ automation processes running on infrastructure we designed and deployed.
Human Nexus built the CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure for a national care provider's automation platform. The platform handles hundreds of automated workflows daily across payroll, rostering, compliance, and HR systems, with zero unplanned downtime since deployment.
Zero unplanned downtime since deployment.
Common questions.
How much does DevOps consulting cost?
CI/CD pipeline setup for a single application: $8,000 to $18,000. Full infrastructure-as-code implementation for multi-environment setup: $20,000 to $50,000. Enterprise DevOps transformation including observability and incident response: $50,000 to $150,000. Fixed-price quotes after a free assessment.
How long does it take to implement?
Basic CI/CD pipeline: one to two weeks. Infrastructure as Code for multi-environment setup: two to four weeks. Full observability stack: two to four weeks. Enterprise DevOps transformation: six to twelve weeks with phased delivery.
Do you work with our existing CI/CD tools?
Yes. We build on your existing investment in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or other CI/CD platforms. We do not force a tool change unless your current tooling is a genuine blocker.
Can you help us containerise our existing applications?
Yes. We assess your applications for containerisation suitability, build Docker images with multi-stage builds for minimal size, and deploy to your chosen orchestration platform (ECS, EKS, AKS, GKE). We handle the complexity of environment variables, secrets, and persistent storage.
How do you handle secrets and sensitive configuration?
Secrets are never stored in code or environment variables. We use AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault. Secrets are injected at runtime, rotated automatically, and access is audited. Pipeline access uses OIDC federation, not long-lived credentials.
What about ongoing maintenance of the DevOps infrastructure?
We train your team to own and operate the pipelines and infrastructure. 30 days post-implementation support included. Ongoing maintenance packages available for pipeline updates, new environment provisioning, and infrastructure optimisation.
