⚑ The essentials in 30 seconds

  • DevOps & Cloud = Docker + Kubernetes + CI/CD to go from 1 deployment a month to several a day, reliably.
  • Sovereign cloud France preferred: OVH, Scaleway, Outscale - native RGPD hosting, without US hyperscaler dependency.
  • Stack skills: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Traefik, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana.
  • 4-step methodology: free audit β†’ scoping β†’ progressive migration β†’ 24/7 operation and monitoring.
  • Average ROI observed: MTTR Γ· 5, deployments Γ—10/day, Cloud cost -30 to -50% vs Azure/AWS.
  • 30% of our assignments are takeovers of Cloud infrastructures abandoned by other service providers.

Why outsource your DevOps in 2026?

First of all, DevOps is no longer a luxury in 2026 - it's a survival requirement for any SME developing or running business applications. In fact, your competitors are now deploying several times a day, making CI/CD reliable and monitoring in real time. As a result, sticking to manual "Friday night" deployments is becoming a strategic handicap.

Secondly, the DevOps market suffers from a chronic shortage of senior profiles in France. Indeed, a Kubernetes DevOps Engineer costs 75 to 95 k€ gross/year + charges, and remains very difficult to recruit in less than 6 months. Outsourcing to a specialized partner is therefore the most rational choice for 80% of SMEs.

Therefore, our role at Ezway: to provide you with the equivalent of a part-time senior DevOps team, without the cost of recruitment, with expertise already proven on 50+ projects.

Your applications deserve better than manual deployments

Indeed, every manual deployment introduces a risk of failure, forgets a step or breaks a dependency. What's more, your developers waste 4 to 8 hours a week in repetitive interventions on the environment. Docker containerization and Kubernetes orchestration eliminate this friction, freeing up your teams for real development.

DevOps ROI: how much can you earn?

First, here are the typical gains measured among our SME customers after 6 to 12 months of DevOps industrialization. Indeed, the figures speak for themselves.

Indicator Before DevOps After DevOps Ezway Gain
Deployment frequency 1-2 per month 5-20 per day Γ—100
MTTR (mean time to resolution) 4-8 hours 15-45 minutes Γ· 5 Γ  10
Deployment failure rate 15-25% < 2% -90%
Dev time on infrastructure 30-40% of time 5-10% of time -75%
Monthly Cloud cost (10 services) 1,200-2,000 € (Azure/AWS) 500-900 € (OVH/Scaleway) -50%
Application availability 98% (β‰ˆ 7h down/month) 99.9% (β‰ˆ 45 min down/month) +1.9 pt

So, for a tech SME with a dozen applications, the cumulative savings (Cloud + developer time) represent €40,000 to €80,000 per year. As a result, the DevOps investment generally pays for itself in 4 to 8 months.

Cloud souverain France vs hyperscalers US: what to choose in 2026?

Indeed, this question structures all our Cloud projects. So here's our honest comparison between French sovereign offerings (OVH, Scaleway, Outscale) and American hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, GCP).

Criteria OVH / Scaleway (France) Azure / AWS (US)
Kubernetes tariff (3 nodes 4vCPU/8GB) ~€180-280/month ~350-550 €/month
Data sovereignty RGPD βœ“ Hosting in France guaranteed ⚠ EU hosting possible but US control
Cloud Act / FISA 702 βœ“ Not concerned βœ— Data accessible to US authorities
Native ERP/SaaS connectors Limited (to be completed) Very rich (1000+)
French documentation βœ“ Native ⚠ Partial, sometimes Google Translate
French support βœ“ French team included Premium pay only
Kubernetes compatibility βœ“ Managed K8s native βœ“ EKS / AKS managed
Ideal for SMEs, public sector, sensitive data Multinationals, existing AWS/Azure ecosystem

So, our default recommendation at Ezway: OVH Cloud or Scaleway in managed Kubernetes architecture for the majority of French SMEs. However, Azure or AWS are still relevant if you have already invested in this ecosystem, or if your customers contractually require it.

Case studies: 5 DevOps projects delivered

First, here are 5 real assignments delivered between 2024 and 2026 for French SMEs. Each case is therefore anonymized, but the ROI figures are genuine.

Case 1 - SME SaaS B2B - 15 employees

πŸš€ Monolithic migration to Kubernetes microservices

First, audit of the PHP/MySQL monolithic application hosted on 2 OVH VPS. Then, redesign into 6 containerized microservices on managed Kubernetes (OVH MKS). As a result, multiple deployments per day vs. 1 per month previously.

Our 4-step DevOps methodology

Firstly, we apply a method that has been tried and tested on 50+ DevOps projects since 2020. In fact, each step is time-bound and costed upstream, so there are no unpleasant surprises.

Free audit (1 to 2 days)

First, an audit workshop of your current infrastructure: architecture, dependencies, Cloud costs, security, monitoring. As a result, you leave with a prioritized and costed industrialization plan.

Framing & architecture (1 week)

Then target design: choice of Cloud (sovereign or hyperscaler), Kubernetes architecture, CI/CD strategy, migration plan. What's more, you validate every decision before any development takes place.

Gradual migration (4 to 12 weeks)

In addition, we migrate in stages, with rollback possible at each step. In fact, we never go into "big bang" mode, which would disrupt production. So your business continues uninterrupted throughout the transition.

Continuous operation & monitoring

Last but not least, 24/7 monitoring, training for your teams, and a TMA (application maintenance) contract. As a result, you'll get off to an autonomous start, while retaining expert support in the event of a glitch.

FAQ - DevOps & Sovereign Cloud

Do you host at home or with OVH / Azure?

First of all, we deploy at the hosting provider of your choice. Indeed, our default recommendation is OVH or Scaleway for data sovereignty and cost control. However, we can also operate on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or Bare Metal infrastructures, depending on your needs.

How much does application monitoring cost?

First of all, it depends on the number of services and the desired SLA. Nevertheless, here are the orders of magnitude: basic monitoring (5-10 services) from €290/month, full 24/7 monitoring with on-call service €690 to €1,490/month depending on volume. Please contact us for a personalized quotation after a free audit.

Can you take over an existing infrastructure?

Yes, it's one of our specialties. In fact, 30% of our assignments involve taking over abandoned or poorly documented infrastructures. We start with an audit to map the existing infrastructure. Then, we document in Terraform reverse-engineered before any modifications are made.

Do you host and backup Odoo?

Yes, it's one of our flagship services. What's more, we host Odoo Community on a dedicated OVH infrastructure with managed PostgreSQL, incremental backups every 4 hours, and restoration tested monthly. As a result, you benefit from savings of 50-60% compared with Odoo.sh, while maintaining the same quality of service.

How long does a complete Cloud migration take?

Then allow 4 to 12 weeks, depending on complexity. In fact, for an SME with 5-10 moderately coupled services, 6 to 8 weeks are generally sufficient. What's more, we always work on a progressive migration basis, with rollback possible at each stage, without interrupting your production.

Are your teams certified in Azure, AWS and Kubernetes?

Yes, first of all, our consultants have CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), AWS Solutions Architect and Azure Administrator certifications. What's more, we continually train our teams on new releases and best practices. As a result, you benefit from up-to-date expertise.

Is the sovereign cloud really cheaper than Azure / AWS?

Firstly, yes, in the vast majority of cases. In fact, OVH and Scaleway are 30 to 60% cheaper than Azure or AWS for equivalent configurations (compute, storage, managed database). Nevertheless, hyperscalers still have the edge when it comes to very specific managed services (BigQuery, Sagemaker, etc.) for which there is no direct equivalent.

What happens if I want to take over the operation internally?

As a result, you recover all Terraform and Ansible code, Kubernetes manifests and documentation. Then we train your in-house team for 2-4 weeks to make the transition. After all, there are no proprietary locks binding you to Ezway - everything is open source and documented.

Do you offer 24/7 on-call service?

Yes, as an option in our TMA contracts. Firstly, standard 24/7 on-call service (response within 1 hour in the event of a critical incident) from €990/month. Then, Premium on-call with dedicated engineer and contractual SLA on quotation. What's more, we pool on-call services across several customers to optimize costs.
