What is DevOps?

DevOps is an agile relationship between development and IT operations with an emphasis on automation. It concentrates on the collaboration between developers and other parties involved in building, operating and maintaining software systems. Software development is an ongoing activity; it is divided into sprints. Each sprint consists of tasks that are taken from the project backlog. Dev tasks include Plan, Code, Verify and Package while the DevOps tasks include Release, Configure and Monitor. 

Advantages of DevOps

  1. Reduction in the code size delivery leads to increased productivity.
  2. Smaller batch sizes, dedicated teams and automated processes make scheduling simpler to operate.
  3. Batch sizes are divided into small cells. Each cell gathers it’s own data, reducing the size of the reports.

CI / CD Services

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery are the core tenets of DevOps. They consist of tools that can fetch code, build, test and deploy code into various environments without manual intervention. Popular examples are Jenkins, Github Actions, Travis CI and Gitlab CI.

Google Cloud Services

Deploy your IT infrastructure on the world's largest, most scalable and most secure public cloud. Start small and scale up as your traffic increases. It has VPC based cloud services to ensure security. Compute Engine (IaaS) and App Engine (PaaS) are the most used services.

Microsoft Azure Services

Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform. It is similar to AWS and Google Cloud Platform, but more Windows focused. 80% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure. It has datacenters in 42 regions across the world - impressive, right?

AWS Cloud Services

AWS Cloud is a public Cloud provider that cuts down costs a lot compared to running your servers. It allows for scaling up and down your server usage according to your client load. A wide range of Services provided by AWS mainly consist of Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Platform as a service (PaaS) and Software as a service (SaaS)

Docker Architecture

After virtual machines came Docker. It is similar to VM's but is more affordable and faster. It shares the same kernel with the host OS (Linux). The user space containing apps is isolated from each other and are called "containers". Once you containerize your app, it will run the same way everywhere.

Kubernetes Architecture

It is an open source container orchestration platform initially released by Google in 2014. It is widely used to manage and maintain (Docker) containers. Currently, Kubernetes is managed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Advantages are Excellent workload scalability, high availability, efficient load balancing, self healing, etc.

FAQ

DevOps combines cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that improve an organization’s capacity to deliver applications and services at high velocity, evolving and improving products more quickly than organizations using conventional infrastructure management and software development procedures.

When these two teams function with substantially different thought processes while using the same system, DevOps is required. DevOps teaches these developer and operations communities new ways to collaborate, making it easier for them to work together seamlessly. Many of the methods developers use in their systems are employed by operations employees as part of DevOps. DevOps allows operational and development personnel to collaborate using shared approaches and practices.

The following are the different stages of the DevOps lifecycle:

Plan: Before beginning an application development project should have a plan. It’s always wise to get a general grasp of the development process.

Application code has been written to meet the needs of the end user.

Build – Create the program by combining the numerous codes created in the earlier steps.

The most crucial stage of developing an application is the test. If required, test the program and recompile it.

Integrate: To combine several programs’ codes into a single one.

Deploy – To be used later, code is placed into a cloud environment. It ensures that new adjustments won’t interfere with a popular website’s functionality.

Operate: If necessary, operations are carried out on the code.

The performance of the application is being watched. To adapt to end-user needs, changes are made.

The DevOps delivery pipeline guarantees a higher mean recovery time, a reduced failure rate for new releases, and a higher deployment frequency. DevOps seeks to accelerate development and deployment cycles for increased dependability and security through continuous testing, quality testing, feature development, and maintenance releases.

Allows for the management and modification of numerous systems.

Manages IT infrastructure by standardizing resource configurations.

The integrity of the entire infrastructure is maintained while it aids in the administration and maintenance of several servers.

Flexible services: Offers flexible services that are ready to use without the need to install or configure the software.

Built for scale: AWS services allow you to scale from a single instance to thousands.

Automating chores and processes using AWS gives you more time to develop.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to specify user permissions and restrictions, making it secure.

Large partner ecosystem: AWS provides a sizable partner ecosystem that integrates and expands the capabilities of AWS services.
