INTRODUCTION TO DEVOPS

This is DevOps, which refers to the way of the software development approach, combining IT operations with development. It connects the silos of software development and IT operations, streamlining and automating the workflows for quicker and more reliable delivery of software. It's all about collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.

Principles:

• Collaboration: Breaks the silos between development and operations teams.

• Automation: Automate those tasks that are tedious, repetitive, such as testing and deployment or infrastructure management.

• CI/CD: Continuous Integration where code is continuously merged or integrated and Continuous Deployment that is automated releases.

• IaC: Infrastructure managed by code with the requirement for consistency.

• Monitoring: Track performance, detect problems before they occur.

Benefits:

• Faster Releases

• Better Quality

• More Efficient

Common Tools used:

• CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab CI

• Containers: Docker, Kubernetes

• Monitoring: Prometheus, Nagios

DevOps is about software delivery fast and reliable when there is a collaborative culture and automation.
