The "Air Cover" Wedge

Fractional SRE & Interim DevOps

Your roadmap isn’t slipping, it’s collapsing. Every day without SRE cover compounds risk: outages, burnout, and missed deadlines. Hire slow, fail fast. Air Cover buys survival time.

The Challenge

Every Week Without SRE Cover Makes Recovery Harder

This isn’t a delay, it’s compounding damage. Each week without SRE coverage slows delivery, increases fragility, and pushes your system closer to failure. The longer you wait, the more painful, and expensive the recovery becomes.

Hiring Lag

90+ days to hire means 90+ days of unmanaged risk, rising instability, and no clear ownership over reliability when it matters most.

Velocity Decay

Your team isn’t shipping, they’re stuck firefighting, reacting to issues instead of building, while your roadmap quietly stalls.

Tech Debt Accumulation

Every delayed fix compounds risk. What was once manageable becomes fragile, untouchable, and dangerous to change.

Core Team Burnout

Your best engineers absorb the pressure, juggling too much until fatigue hits—and then they leave, deepening the gap.

Knowledge Fragmentation

Without ownership, knowledge spreads thin. Systems become harder to understand, slower to fix, and easier to break.

Roadmap Attrition

Your roadmap doesn’t pause, it erodes. Deadlines slip, scope shrinks, and eventually the plan stops reflecting reality.

The Solution

Air Cover, Not Advice

Fractional, embedded SRE support designed to stabilize your system while you hire. We’re not consultants. We don’t observe. We execute. We take tickets, stabilize infrastructure, and rotate on-call—immediately.

Core Team 14-Day "Time-to-Code" SLA

From intro call to full Slack and codebase access in under 14 days. We embed fast, start shipping immediately, and remove delay from recovery.

Fired by Design Contracts

Our contracts end when your full-time hire starts. No long-term dependency, no drag, just focused execution that closes the gap and gets out clean.

The Onboarding
Legacy

We audit your system and build the infrastructure runbook. Your new hire doesn’t inherit chaos. They inherit clarity, and start delivering on Day 1.

Every week without SRE support compounds risk, slower delivery, fragile systems, and a team stretched to breaking point. Stop waiting for the “perfect hire.” Protect your roadmap now.

Core Capablities

Execution That Keeps Systems Running

We step in where gaps slow you down, owning reliability, infrastructure, and delivery so your systems stay stable, your team stays focused, and your roadmap keeps moving without disruption.

Site Reliability

We keep systems stable under stress, handling incidents, reducing downtime, and ensuring reliability doesn’t break when demand spikes.

Cloud & Platform

We structure and optimize your infrastructure so it scales cleanly, performs consistently, and doesn’t become a bottleneck.

DevOps

We streamline delivery pipelines, remove friction, and ensure code moves from commit to production without breaking everything.

How We Step In And Step Out

A 4-phase execution model designed for speed, control, and clean exit. We diagnose fast, deploy immediately, stabilize what’s breaking, and hand over without creating dependency.

Triage

Plan Call

Fast diagnosis. Not a workshop. Not discovery theatre. Just enough context to identify risk and where things are breaking.

Deploy

Activating Asset

You drop in. Access, systems, team—live. This is where most vendors are still “onboarding.” You’re already working.

Stabilize

Air Cover

This is the core. Handle incidents. Reduce pressure. Fix what’s fragile. You’re buying time and restoring control.

Extract

Handover

This is the differentiator. You don’t linger. You transfer knowledge, clean up, and leave when the hire lands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about fractional SRE support, interim DevOps, incident response, and keeping your engineering roadmap moving.

How quickly can CDOps Tech provide interim SRE support?

Air Cover is designed for situations where you cannot afford to wait for a permanent hire. We move quickly from the initial call to access and execution, with a 14-day time-to-code SLA for getting the team embedded into your Slack channels, codebase, infrastructure, and operational workflows.

How is Air Cover different from traditional DevOps consulting?

Air Cover is focused on execution rather than recommendations alone. Our engineers work directly inside your existing environment, take operational tickets, respond to incidents, improve infrastructure, manage reliability work, and help keep deployments moving while you build your permanent team.

Will your engineers work directly with our existing team?

Yes. Air Cover is designed to operate alongside your existing engineering team. Our engineers integrate into your communication channels, repositories, cloud environments, and existing workflows so they can take ownership of operational work without creating another layer between your developers and infrastructure.

What happens during the onboarding process?

We keep onboarding focused and practical. We quickly understand your infrastructure, access requirements, monitoring setup, deployment workflows, and immediate risks. We then begin execution while documenting the environment and building the operational runbook that your permanent hire can inherit.

Can Air Cover handle incidents and on-call responsibilities?

Yes. Our SRE team can help handle production incidents, alerts, reliability issues, infrastructure problems, and on-call responsibilities. The goal is to reduce the operational pressure on your core engineering team while stabilizing the systems that are affecting delivery.

What happens when we hire our permanent SRE or DevOps engineer?

That is the intended exit point. Air Cover is designed to bridge the gap until your permanent hire is ready to take over. We transfer operational knowledge, documentation, infrastructure context, and runbooks to your new team member so they can take ownership without inheriting the same uncertainty that caused the original operational gap.

What happens if our infrastructure is undocumented or difficult to understand?

We work with what exists rather than waiting for a perfectly documented environment. As we stabilize the system, we map the infrastructure, identify critical dependencies, document operational procedures, and create the runbooks needed to make the environment easier for your team to operate and hand over.

What areas can your interim SRE team support?

Air Cover can support site reliability, cloud and platform infrastructure, DevOps, deployment pipelines, incident response, monitoring, infrastructure automation, performance, and production operations. The engagement is tailored around the areas creating the greatest operational risk or delivery bottleneck for your team.
