We are finishing up our migration from our on-prem data center to Azure and at the same time building out our DevOps capabilities (which we are only partly through).   I'm looking to outsource and potentially near shore operations of two areas.  First, our DBA function.  We have an existing organization that worked great to support our DBA operations needs 24x7 however as we've been migrating DBs to Azure SQL they are unable to effectively support us.  So on the DBA side I'm looking for a managed service group that can provide proper Azure SQL dba and instance operation level support.   On the DevOps side, we are not quite a far along our journey, however, we are moving more workloads into platforms like Azure DevOps, CheckMarx, Sonatype, APIM, and I'm sure as we continue to build our capabilities we will be adding more tools into the mix.  Similarly I'd like to outsource operations of the CI/CD platform.  We've had good luck so far with some nearshore development help down in South America, great talent and the timezone difference has been much better than APAC.   Would love any thoughts, general or specific on if people have had success outsourcing these areas, if not why not, and if so any thoughts on direction here?
