What is DevOps?
DevOps is combination of organization culture, software/application development practices and IT operations. The main aim of DevOps is to shorten the development life cycle and increase an organization ability to deliver applications and services effectively and with high velocity. This also helps remove the over burden from Development team to manage the IT Infrastructure, deployment, and Operations support which helps the developers focus on just the development.
Now we have a newer version of DevOps which incorporates the security. & quality aspect for the application and Infrastructure and known as DevSecOps.
Lets look at the key benefits
1. Speed of Development and Delivery
Using DevOps we can move at high velocity so you can innovate and delivery new features for customers faster, adapt to changing markets needs and trend better, and grow more efficient at driving business results. The DevOps model enables your developers and operations teams to achieve these results from almost start of Development lifecycle we have Continuous Integrations and Continuous Delivery Services are up and running and all the developments take part in modules and decoupled manner hence delivering faster.
2. Reliability
In DevOps we use CI/CD tools and also include security and quality checks which helps us get reliable deployments infrastructure and release of solution. Use of monitoring and logging practices we are able to identify the issues faster and near real time. Thia also helps stay informed of performance in real time.
3. Scalability
With the help of micro services with containerized solutions along with automation we can have a highly scalable solution which automatically response to changing demands. Automation and consistency help you manage complex or changing systems efficiently and with reduced risk.
4. Security
Making use of proper version control, automated compliance policies, configuration management techniques and automated security testing tools we can adopt to DevOps model without worrying about the security of the solution.
5. Improves Collaboration
DevOps help build more effective teams, which emphasizes values such as ownership and accountability. Developers and operations teams can collaborate closely monitoring, share many responsibilities, and combine their workflows. This increase team efficiencies and saves valuable time.
