DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

DevOps enables siloed roles in development, IT maintenance operations, quality, engineering and IT compliance to coordinate and collaborate to produce faster and better products. By adopting a DevOps culture, Companies gain the ability to better respond to customer needs, increase customer confidence, and achieve business goals faster.

Application Lifecycle in DevOps

• Plan: In the Plan phase, DevOps teams identify, define, design, and describe features and capabilities of the applications and systems they are building

• Develop: In the Develop phase, DevOps teams include all aspects of developing, testing, code reviewing, and the integration of code by team members, and build the code into build artifacts that can be deployed into various environments.

• Deliver: In the Delivery phase, DevOps teams focus on deploying applications into production environments in a consistent and reliable way.

• Operations: In the Operations phase, DevOps teams focus on maintaining, monitoring, and troubleshooting applications in production environments.

DevOps Stages

• Version Control: Version control is a system of source code management that records changes to a file or a set of files over time and maintains different versions of the code. Version control enables multiple programmers to simultaneously work on a single project. Each developer edits his or her own copy of the files and chooses when to share those changes with the rest of the team. Thus, temporary edits by one developer do not interfere with another developer's work.

• Continuous Integration: Continous Integration is a development practice that allows developers to commit changes to source code in a shared repository after which automatic builds and continous tests are run. The benefits of continuous integration are to find and address bugs quicker, improve software quality, and reduce the time it takes to validate and release new changes.

• Continuous Delivery: With Continuous Delivery, code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for a release to production. Continuous delivery expands upon continuous integration by deploying all code changes to a testing environment after the build stage for continous testing.

• Continuous Deployment: Continous Deployment is used by the release management team for deploying tested application to the production server.
