DevOps is the practice of unifying development & operations to create an efficient system of application delivery.
DevOps is short for Development & Operations. DevOps includes all practices that involve automating the process of application delivery. An efficient DevOps system in place enables businesses to rapidly deploy their software applications.
The key function of any DevOps team is to automate application delivery processes that have been carried out manually in the recent past. By automating these slow processes, DevOps also introduce reliability in the delivery system. It also makes it easy for testing teams while taking care of security protocols at the same time.
With the introduction of DevOps, different teams within a Software Development Environment are systematically integrated to enhance the overall productivity of the Software Development Process.
OUTPUTS INCLUDE:
This involves analyzing the existing system of application deployment & delivery.
Output of analysis act as an input for devising a suitable DevOps solution.
This where a proper system of Continuous Integration and Continuous deployment is put in place.
The final yet on-going step is to ensure continuous updates to the system.
Without an efficient DevOps system in place it gets very hard for businesses and Software Engineers to reliably and rapidly deliver services when they matter the most.
PROCCESS:
This step is all about analyzing the existing system and identifying the gaps that need to be addressed in a more systematic way.
This step involves finding the right DevOps solution and implementing the CI & CD cycle. Automation is the key subject in this phase.
Once a proper automated system is in place, the on-going final step is to manage it while constantly working on ways to optimize it.
