Cloud Migration & Modernization · Microsoft Partner

Move to Azure and GitHub — without stopping your developers.

Deop migrates workloads, repositories, and pipelines to Microsoft Azure and GitHub Enterprise — from GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket — and modernizes the apps on top, with governance built in and zero downtime as the target.

Migrating repositories and workloads to Azure and GitHub Enterprise

The hard part of a migration was never moving the code. It's keeping your structure, your security, and your delivery running while it moves — so teams keep shipping and nothing drifts. That's the part Deop is built for.

What we deliver

One coordinated move — platform, pipelines, and apps

We handle the full migration as a single program, so you don't end up with code in a new place and everything else left behind.

Workload migration to Azure

Assess, plan, and move workloads onto a well-architected Azure foundation.

  • Dependency mapping & TCO analysis
  • Wave-by-wave migration plan (CAF-aligned)
  • Azure landing-zone target set up first
  • Validated cutover, minimal disruption

GitLab / ADO / Bitbucket → GitHub

Migrate to GitHub Enterprise with your history and hierarchy intact.

  • History-preserving repo & work-item transfer
  • Hierarchy kept via custom properties & topics
  • Safe Settings config-as-code baseline
  • Secret scanning, Dependabot, Copilot enabled

CI/CD re-platforming

Rebuild delivery on GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps — faster and secure by default.

  • Pipelines migrated to Actions / Azure DevOps
  • Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Bicep)
  • Security & quality gates in the pipeline
  • Environments and approvals standardized

Application modernization

Rehost, replatform, or refactor the right apps into cloud-native Azure services.

  • Portfolio assessment & prioritization
  • Containers, AKS, App Service, managed data
  • .NET / framework upgrades where they pay off
  • Observability and cost tuning post-move
How it works

A repeatable program, run in waves

You see progress early and carry less risk at each step — because the destination is ready before anything moves, and every wave is validated before cutover.

Assess

Inventory workloads, repos, and pipelines, map dependencies, calculate TCO, and find the quick wins.

Design

Stand up the Azure landing zone and the GitHub Enterprise structure, with governance defined as code — before anything moves.

Migrate

Move code, history, and workloads in validated waves, re-platform pipelines, and enable security by default. Zero downtime as the target.

Optimize

Tune cost, performance, and developer experience, and modernize apps where the payoff justifies it. Hand over a platform your team owns.

The Deop difference

Governance that maintains itself

Zero

downtime as the target through cutover — and a config-as-code baseline that keeps hundreds of repositories consistent, so the standard changes in one place and drift is reverted automatically.

  • Hierarchy preserved (custom properties & topics)
  • Safe Settings baseline across every repo
  • Secret-scanning push protection
  • Branch protection & required reviews
  • Dependabot & Copilot switched on
  • Canadian data residency for Azure workloads
Why Deop

Boutique, senior-led, and done this many times

Senior engineers on every engagement, a repeatable migration methodology, and a Microsoft partnership that regularly brings funding to the table.

Delivered with Microsoft

Advanced Azure specializations, a GitHub verified partnership, and Microsoft partner funding available for eligible migrations.

A repeatable methodology

Assessment, scoped short-lived access, history-preserving transfer, Actions CI/CD, and a governed Safe Settings baseline — a known path, not a first attempt.

Structure kept, velocity kept

We recreate the hierarchy teams rely on inside GitHub's flatter model, so you gain GitHub's speed without losing ownership and access boundaries.

Questions buyers ask us

The objections we hear first

How do you migrate hundreds of repos without downtime?

A phased, assessment-first approach: map the source org, move code and history with scoped, short-lived access, re-platform pipelines, and validate each wave before cutover. Developers keep working throughout.

Can we keep our GitLab / ADO group structure in GitHub?

Yes. Custom properties and repository topics recreate your hierarchy as targeting labels, so you keep ownership and access boundaries without nested groups.

How do you enforce security and standards across every repo?

Config-as-code with Safe Settings: one governed baseline, layered overrides, continuously reconciled so nothing drifts.

Do you migrate work items and history, not just code?

Source and history move cleanly, with large-file limits managed up front. Work-item migration is scoped per engagement.

Is Microsoft partner funding available?

Often, yes — for eligible Azure and GitHub migrations we work with Microsoft to bring partner funding to the engagement.

Do you keep data in Canada?

For Azure workloads, yes — we migrate into the Canadian regions and design to PBMM where it applies. GitHub Enterprise Cloud is the one exception worth knowing up front: its data-residency regions are currently the EU, Australia, the US and Japan, so if repository data itself has to stay in Canada, that means GitHub Enterprise Server or a hybrid. We scope this in the assessment, before you commit.
