[What Devops Actually do]

DevOps is a way of working that brings together software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. It focuses on improving collaboration, automating processes, and continuously delivering high-quality software quickly and efficiently. In simple terms, DevOps helps teams build, test, and release software faster and more reliably.

→The term devops is a combination of two words, i.e. Development and Operations.

→Devops is a methodology that allows a single team to manage the entire application development life cycle: that is development, testing, deployment and operations

→It is a Successor/Improvement of Agile Methodology

→The objective of devops is to shorten the system’s development life cycle.

→Devops is a software development approach through which superior quality software can be developed quickly and with more reliability

DevOPS Different Stages:

Simple Overview:

• Version Control: Maintain different version of code. (Git)
• Continuous Integration/CI: Compile, Validate, Code review, Unit testing, Integration testing.(Jenkins)
• Continuous Delivery: Deploying the build app to test server.(Maves)
• Continuous Deployment: Deploying the test app on the production server for release.

• Myths about Devops:
  • Programming knowledge is necessary
  • Linux experience is must
  • Prior IT experience is required
  • Non-technical background people cant do

• Why Organization Needs DevOPS Specialist?
  • Fast Deliveries: DevOps speeds up the software development and release process.
  • Higher Quality: Continuous testing and integration improve software quality.
  • Less Capex + Opex: Automation reduces costs for infrastructure (Capex > Capital Expenditure) and operations ( Opex > Operational Expenditure).
  • Reduced Outages: Monitoring and quick fixes decrease system downtime.
