Cloud environments for your development. Secure and automated.
CONVOTIS provides standardised, CI/CD-ready development environments across AWS, Azure, Private Cloud and Sovereign Cloud, automated through GitOps and Infrastructure as Code, with centralised access control and fully managed operations.
What are Cloud Development Environments and when do they make sense?
Cloud Development Environments are standardised, cloud-based environments that enable teams to develop software consistently, securely and efficiently. Instead of configuring local setups manually, workspaces are provisioned using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps, with scalable support across every stage of the software development lifecycle.
They are particularly valuable when inconsistent local setups, slow onboarding and a lack of standards hinder development. CONVOTIS manages the provisioning, orchestration and operation of your development environments across Private, Hybrid, Multi-Cloud and Public Cloud infrastructures, using GitOps, Infrastructure as Code and DevSecOps.
What services do CONVOTIS Cloud Development Environments include?
CONVOTIS Cloud Development Environments provide automated, secure and standardised development environments for AWS, Azure, Private Cloud and hybrid infrastructures. We implement CI/CD-ready platforms with governance, access control and centralised resource management, including operations and support.
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.

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.
