Devops

DevOps is a clipped compound of “Development and Operations”. It is a software development methodology that combines Software Development (Dev) with Information Technology Operations (Ops).

The need of DevOps arose from increasing success of Agile Software development. This led organizations wanted to release their software faster and more frequently. For this, they had to adopt patterns such as application release, automation, continuous integration tools and continuous delivery.

Benefits of using DevOps –

• Release faster and work smarter – Teams that practice DevOps release more frequently with higher quality and stability.
• Accelerate time to resolution – If critical issues aren’t resolved quickly, customer satisfaction tanks. The team with the fastest loop is the team that thrives. Full transparency and seamless communication enable DevOps teams to minimize downtime and resolve issues faster than ever before.
• Better manage unplanned work - With established processes and clear prioritization, the DevOps teams can better manage unplanned work while continuing to focus on planned work.
• Rapid Delivery – The quicker you can release new features and fix bugs, the faster you can respond to your customer’s requirements and build competitive advantage.
• Reliability – Using DevOps, you can ensure quality of application updates and infrastructure changes so you can reliably deliver at a more faster pace while maintaining a positive experience for end users.
• Scale – Operate and manage your infrastructure and development processes at scale. Automation and consistency help you manage complex or changing systems efficiently and with reduced risk.
• Improved Collaboration – DevOps helps you build more effective teams, whilst emphasizes values such as ownership and accountability.
• Resiliency – The operational state of the software system is more stable, secure and changes are auditable.
• Breaks larger code into chunks – DevOps is based on the Agile programming method. Therefore, it allows breaking larger code into smaller and manageable chunks.
