DevOps is a combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increase your organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at speed.
That is, it allows you to develop and improve products faster compared to organizations that use traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
What happens under a DevOps model?
DevOps teams are no longer “siloed.” Sometimes, the two teams merge into one, where engineers work across the entire application lifecycle, from development and testing to deployment and operations. In this way, they develop a variety of skills not limited to a single function.
In some DevOps models, QA and security teams are also more integrated with development and operations and are involved throughout the application lifecycle.
Teams use practices to automate processes that had previously been manual and time-consuming. They use a stack of technology and tools that help them operate and improve applications quickly and reliably.
In addition, these tools help engineers independently perform tasks that would normally have required the help of other teams (such as deploying code or provisioning infrastructure), further increasing the speed of the team.
Advance and innovate for your customers faster, adapting better to changes in markets and becoming more effective in achieving business results.
The DevOps model enables your development and operations teams to achieve these outcomes. For example, microservices and continuous delivery allow teams to take ownership of services and update them faster.
Increase the frequency and pace of releases to innovate and improve your product faster.
The faster you release new features and fix bugs, the faster you can respond to customer needs and strengthen a competitive advantage. Continuous integration and continuous delivery are practices that automate the software publishing process, from creation to deployment.
Ensure the quality of application updates and infrastructure changes so you can deliver faster and reliably while delivering a positive experience to end users.
Use continuous integration and delivery practices to verify that every change is functional and secure. Monitoring and logging practices help keep you informed of performance in real-time.
Operate and manage your infrastructure and development processes at scale.
Automation and consistency help you manage complex or changing systems effectively with less risk. For example, infrastructure as code helps you manage your development, test, and production environments more repeatably and efficiently.
More effective teams with a DevOps cultural model.
Developers and operations teams collaborate closely, share many responsibilities, and combine their workflows. This reduces inefficiencies and saves time. For example, the transfer times between developers and operations are reduced, when you write code that takes into account the environment in which it runs.
Move quickly while retaining control and maintaining compliance.
You can adopt a DevOps model without sacrificing security by using automated compliance policies, granular controls, and configuration management techniques. For example, when you use infrastructure as code and policy as code, you can define and monitor compliance at scale.
