Cloud Development Environments -DevOps-ready
Cloud Development Environments provide the foundation for agile, secure, and automated software development. Leveraging CI/CD, GitOps, and Infrastructure-as-Code, we deliver a scalable, cloud-based DevOps platform – standardized and ready for every stage of the development lifecycle.
Cloud Development Environments. Standardized, Secure, Automated.
Cloud Development Environments enable organizations to run development processes consistently, securely, and in an automated way in the cloud. Instead of manually configuring local setups, we provide standardized, CI/CD-ready workspaces – scalable across all stages of the software development lifecycle.
CONVOTIS handles the complete provisioning, orchestration, and operation of your development environments – in private cloud, hybrid cloud, or public multi-cloud architectures. Whether GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code, or DevSecOps, we deliver a high-performance platform that enables your teams to develop quickly, securely, and in a fully cloud-based environment.
Technology for Automated Cloud Development Environments
- Provision of DevEnvs in AWS, Azure, Private & Sovereign Cloud
- Automated provisioning via infrastructure-as-code and GitOps
- IDE connection via web browser, VS Code Server or Dev Containers
- Centralised authentication with RBAC, OIDC and Conditional Access
- CI/CD pipeline integration (e.g., GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins)
- Templating, Secrets-Management und Configuration-as-Code
- Monitoring, logging and telemetry at workspace level
- Versioned environments for feature branches and review apps
- API-first access for developer self-service and automation
- Integration with artifact stores, container registries, and vault systems

Cloud-based development – standardized, automated, DevOps-ready.
How we support you.
Cloud Development Environments from CONVOTIS deliver automated, secure, and standardized development environments for AWS, Azure, private cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. We build CI/CD-ready platforms with governance, access control, and centralized resource management.
Whether realigning DevOps practices or replacing local setups, we handle provisioning, integration, operation, and monitoring – including automatic scaling, lifecycle management, and technical support for your cloud-based development.
Cloud Development Environments can be directly connected to existing CI/CD workflows – from GitLab to Azure DevOps. We integrate build, test, and deployment stages, including secrets handling, policy enforcement, and automated release processes, to maximize speed and security.
CONVOTIS provides preconfigured development environments that developers can provision and manage independently. Using central templates, role-based access control, and automatic deactivation, we create flexible, cloud-based workspaces with clear governance.
We leverage GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code to make Cloud Development Environments standardized, reproducible, and version-controlled. Tools such as Terraform, Helm, and ArgoCD ensure consistent development across all cloud environments.
CONVOTIS integrates security mechanisms such as RBAC, OIDC, secrets management, and automated code scanning directly into the development environment. The result is DevSecOps platforms that consistently enforce corporate policies, auditability, and regulatory compliance.
Through ephemeral workspaces, automated shutdown, and usage-based scaling, we optimize resource utilization within your Cloud Development Environments. Development environments are provisioned only when needed and automatically decommissioned when inactive – with complete transparency on runtime, usage, and optimization potential.
For organizations looking to manage infrastructure, platform, and licensing costs holistically, we also offer Cloud Cost Optimisation Services.

Our FAQ provides clear, concise answers to key topics like provisioning, CI/CD integration, security, and lifecycle management.
Still have questions?
Cloud Development Environments are preconfigured, containerized workspaces that are provisioned automatically and centrally managed. Using GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code, and CI/CD pipelines, they create a scalable, standardized development platform – whether running in AWS, Azure, or a Private Cloud.
CI/CD processes are connected directly to development environments via tools such as GitLab, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps. Automated builds, tests, and deployments run within controlled pipelines – fully versioned, auditable, and secured through secrets management and policy enforcement.
The security architecture is built on role-based access control (RBAC), OIDC integration, network isolation, and centralized secrets management. Combined with policy-as-code, compliance checks, and automated scans, this creates a secure, fully auditable DevSecOps environment.
Ephemeral environments can be provisioned temporarily and automatically shut down when no longer needed. They help reduce cloud costs, minimize attack surfaces, and improve scalability – ideal for feature branches, testing, or short-term development needs within CI/CD workflows.
CONVOTIS Cloud Development Environments integrate leading DevOps tools such as GitLab, ArgoCD, Helm, Terraform, and Vault. They also support IDEs like VS Code (Remote), Dev Containers, or browser-based solutions – fully orchestrated within hybrid multi-cloud architectures.
