DevOps innovative methodology aims to accelerate software development cycles, improve product quality, and enhance overall business agility. So What is DevOps? And How does it work? Let’s find out with Levinci right now!
What is DevOps?
DevOps is a combination of the English phrases software development and information technology operations. It is a combination of principles, practices, processes and tools that help automate the process of programming and delivering software. With DevOps, companies can “release” small features very quickly and incorporate the feedback they receive quickly.
05 Key aspects of DevOps
The goal of DevOps is to break down the traditional barriers between development teams and IT operations, allowing for more continuous integration, delivery, and deployment of software. Here are 05 key aspects of DevOps:
- Collaboration: DevOps fosters a culture of collaboration between developers, system administrators, testers, and other IT professionals to ensure faster and more efficient software delivery.
- Automation: Automation is central to DevOps, especially for tasks like code testing, integration, deployment, and infrastructure management.
- Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): DevOps emphasizes the continuous integration of code into a shared repository, with automated testing and deployment, enabling faster release cycles and frequent updates to applications.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): With DevOps, infrastructure management (like servers and networks) is treated similarly to software code. This means infrastructure can be provisioned, managed, and scaled automatically using scripts and configuration files.
- Monitoring and Feedback: DevOps teams continuously monitor systems and applications in real-time to detect issues early and use feedback to make iterative improvements to both software and infrastructure.
How does DevOps work?
As mentioned above, DevOps works based on close collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams throughout the software development lifecycle. How DevOps works includes:
Planning and design
Dev and Ops teams work together to define the goals, requirements, and architecture of the software system, including plans for the development, testing, deployment, and operations phases. Then, design the software system to meet the needs of users, ensuring ease of development and operation.
Development and integration
Dev teams use Agile methods to develop software in small pieces, continuously integrating and testing. Continuous integration helps ensure that software developed by different teams can work together.
In parallel, Ops teams will participate in the development process to ensure the ability to deploy and operate.
Deployment
This process will use automation methods to ensure fast and efficient software deployment. Common deployment methods include Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD). In which:
- CI automates the building, testing, and integration of software.
- CD automates the deployment of software from the development environment to the production environment.
Operations and Monitoring
Ops teams use monitoring tools to track system performance, security, and resilience. At the same time, analyze the collected data to identify potential problems, improve operational efficiency, and update software and fix bugs when necessary.
Feedback and Improvement
This phase includes collecting feedback from users and stakeholders to continuously improve the software and DevOps process; Using advanced methods to continuously improve workflows; creating a learning and development environment for Dev and Ops teams.
Benefits of DevOps
DevOps offers many advantages for business, including:
- Speed: DevOps helps developers and operations teams achieve goals at a different pace, helping to improve products quickly to serve users, adapt to the market better, and adjust business performance more effectively.
- Fast delivery: Increase the speed of frequent releases so that we can improve products faster and launch features faster as well as fix bugs, helping to respond to customers quickly and build a better competitive advantage.
- Reliability: DevOps ensures quality by applying CI/CD, Monitoring and logging processes. By updating, the infrastructure team empowers the development team to deliver faster while maintaining a good user experience.
- Scalability: The operations team manages the infrastructure and processes. Planning for scale and upgrading the environment helps manage complex or changing systems effectively and minimize risks.
- Security: DevOps helps move without compromising security with policies, controls, and configuration management methods. Teams can even urge you to follow standards early by providing monitoring tool setups.
