DevSecOps-as-a-Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by Data Intensity (opens in new tab)

Data Intensity’s DevSecOps-as-a-Service provides a solution for organizations that require the granular control of GitLab Self-Managed but wish to eliminate the operational burden of infrastructure maintenance. By hosting dedicated GitLab instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the service combines the security and customization of a self-managed environment with the convenience of a fully managed platform. This partnership enables teams to focus on software delivery while leveraging expert management for high availability and disaster recovery.

The Benefits of GitLab Self-Managed

• Offers complete ownership of data residency and instance configuration to meet strict regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Enables deep customization and integration possibilities that are often restricted in standard SaaS environments.
• Addresses the challenges of manual server management, upgrades, and high-availability scaling by offloading these tasks to a managed provider.

Managed Service Features and Support

• Provides 24/7 monitoring, alarming, and expert technical support for standalone GitLab instances.
• Includes scheduled quarterly patching performed during customer-specified maintenance windows to minimize disruption.
• Ensures business continuity through automated backups and professional disaster recovery protection.
• Utilizes tiered architectures designed to scale based on specific user capacities and recovery time objectives.

Infrastructure Optimization via OCI

• Delivers significant cost efficiency, with organizations typically realizing 40-50% reductions in infrastructure spending compared to other hyperscalers.
• Supports diverse deployment models, including Public Cloud, Government Cloud, EU Sovereign Clouds, and dedicated infrastructure behind a corporate firewall.
• Maintains consistent pricing and operational tooling across hybrid, global, and regulated environments.

Implementation and Migration

• Data Intensity offers optional migration services to transition existing code repositories and configurations to the OCI environment seamlessly.
• The service is specifically designed for organizations with predictable cost requirements and those lacking in-house infrastructure expertise.
• Deployment planning involves tailored consultations to match specific compliance and data residency needs with OCI’s global region availability.

This managed service is a recommended path for enterprise teams that need to prioritize data sovereignty and flexibility without sacrificing the speed of a turnkey solution. Organizations currently using or planning to adopt OCI can leverage this service to standardize their DevSecOps workflows while achieving significant infrastructure savings.
