What is Devops & what is the benefits/demand of Devops ?

DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.

With DevOps, we obtain a completely automated infrastructure with the following benefits:

• Faster time to market– Quick deployments and easy communication allow getting to market faster.

• Bringing isolated teams together-Development, Testing and Operations can work hand in hand when communication barrier disappear.

• Automated workflows– All parts of the development and deployment chain get automated shortening the development and delivery process.

• Continuous Integration – Developers can easily do unit testing, code quality analysis and then commit to the SCM for build from an IDE- all in an integrated tool setup without switching between the systems.

• Continuous Delivery – Delivery manager can have a production-ready environment with all the latest fixes to be delivered on demand.

• Better Monitoring – Project leads can access real-time reports and dashboards for continuous update on change requests/defects getting fixed and subsequent releases to customers.

• Faster Resolution – Development engineers and IT help desk managers get automated notifications in the event of defects/change requests getting raised; development fixes being planned, executed, and reported to customers

• Decreased Risk– Risk factors due to human error decrease to a great extent.

• Cost reduction– Process management becomes less expensive as the overheads generated due to manual interventions get eliminated.

• More focus on improving the business – Teams can solely concentrate on improving core business which adds to the final productivity.
