DevOps Solutions

DevOps is a methodology that combines culture, practice, and tools and can enhance an organization's capability in the rapid delivery of applications and services. The practices of continuous integration and continuous delivery are used to improve and accelerate collaboration between development and operation teams.

introduction

What is DevOps

DevOps, the combination of Development and Operations, refers to the close collaboration between the two teams to achieve higher work efficiency and transparency. After completing the software development process, engineers transfer projects to operation teams who deliver products to customers and return customer feedback to engineers. This allows teams to update software products and accelerate new iterations quickly.

DevOps Improves Enterprise Innovation

In the age of internet proliferation, software development speeds have far exceeded our imaginations. To remain competitive, enterprises must continuously shorten development time and quickly verify with clients while fixing software to achieve products with optimum status. Enterprises must undergo digital transformations to maintain highly efficient development and operation speeds. But, more importantly, they must also practice the concepts of DevOps to enhance customer stickiness and satisfaction toward their products in this highly competitive software sector and improve the enterprise’s agility and innovation!

Best Practices and Advantages of DevOps

When enterprises perform digital transformations and apply DevOps concepts in their organizations, the 5 major practices below can improve the speed of software delivery and updates as well as enhance competitiveness.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

  • The concepts of continuous integration and delivery allow developers to transfer modified code to servers for the automatic building and testing of code before delivering directly to the customer. These processes not only enable the discovery of buggy code to improve software quality, they also decrease time spent verifying and updating software.

Microservices

  • Microservices “Every micro service is bestowed a singular and critical mission”. The concept of a single application framework enables developers to more easily deploy software updates.

Infrastructure as Code

  • The principle of Infrastructure-as-Code allows developers or system administrators to utilize code and quickly deploy version updates or continuous delivery (CI) in the management of code and software development technologies in application environments and the deployment of infrastructure.

  • Configuration management

    Utilizing code to automate tasks related to operating systems and operations allows for the standardization of configuration code.

  • Policy as Code

    With the cloud deployment of infrastructure code, enterprises can monitor code compliance in real-time.

Monitoring & Logging

  • Enterprises can utilize application monitoring and data analysis to understand how changes or updates impact users and gain insights on the root of application issues and unexpected changes.

Communication & Collaboration Communication and collaboration between teams is a core concept in DevOps. Good channels of communication between developers and operations staff enables the flow of information and allows enterprises to increase agility and improve the speed of software delivery.
