Not every organization has the in-house expertise — or the desire — to manage their own configuration management infrastructure. That's where Configuration Management as a Service comes in.
What is CMaaS?
CMaaS is a managed service model where S & S Consulting Group operates and maintains your Puppet or OpenVox infrastructure on your behalf. We handle:
- Installation & Architecture — Designing and deploying a properly scaled CM infrastructure
- Module Development — Writing and maintaining Puppet/OpenVox modules tailored to your environment
- Ongoing Operations — Monitoring, patching, upgrading, and tuning your CM platform
- Code Reviews & Best Practices — Ensuring your automation code follows industry standards
- Training & Knowledge Transfer — Building internal capability at your pace
Who is CMaaS For?
CMaaS is ideal for organizations that:
- Are new to configuration management and need expert guidance
- Have limited DevOps staffing and need to augment their team
- Want to ensure their CM infrastructure follows best practices
- Need to scale their automation but lack the internal expertise
- Are migrating between CM platforms (e.g., Puppet Enterprise to OpenVox)
