Day1 -#90DaysofDevops Introduction to DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations to create a streamlined and efficient software development process. It breakdown's barriers between different teams involved in software development

In this blog post, we will explore the fundamentals of DevOps, automation, scaling, and infrastructure and why they are important.

Q1) What is DevOps?

DevOps is a culture that improves the organization's ability to deliver applications and services at a faster speed.

It is the process of improving the application delivery by ensuring proper

• 1) automation
• 2)Continous monitoring
• 3) Quality analysis
• 4)Continous Testing **

Q2) Few Important terms:**

1)** Automation:** Automation is the use of technology to perform tasks with reduced human assistance. It is meant to improve efficiency and productivity by automating tasks that are repetitive or routine.

2) **Scaling: **Scaling refers to the ability to increase or decrease IT resources as needed to meet changing demand. DevOps practices can help organizations scale their software systems more easily and reliably while maintaining quality and stability.

3) Infrastructure: Infrastructure refers to the computing resources that are provided by a cloud service provider. These resources, such as servers, storage, networking equipment, and virtualized versions, can be provisioned and managed through software.

Q3) Why do we need DevOps?

Devops is needed to automate the Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC). It's a software development and operations approach that enables faster development of new products and easier maintenance of existing deployments.

Q4)DevOps Lifecycle:

Plan: This stage involves the planning of the entire software development process. This includes defining the project goals, requirements, timelines, and resources required for the project.

Develop: In this stage, developers write the code and create the software. They use tools like version control systems to manage the code, and continuous integration to merge the code with other changes made by other developers.

Test: This stage involves testing the software to ensure it meets the requirements and specifications set in the planning phase. Automated testing tools are used to ensure quality and reliability.

Deploy: In this stage, the software is released into production environments. Automated deployment tools help to streamline the deployment process and reduce deployment time.

Operate: This stage involves monitoring and maintaining the software in production environments. DevOps teams use monitoring tools to identify issues and fix them quickly.

Monitor: This stage involves continuously monitoring the software in production environments to ensure that it is performing as expected. This helps to identify any issues or bottlenecks that need to be addressed.

Feedback: This stage involves collecting feedback from users and stakeholders to improve the software. This feedback is used to inform future development and improve the overall quality of the software.
