DevOps Model Defined

DevOps is a combination of tools, cultures and philosophies that make the entire system works faster and more efficiently. When compared to the traditional software and service delivery, this results in a faster and more effective way to deliver the software. As a result, this improves the time to market; and eventually, it makes the customer more satisfied.

How does it Work?

DevOps is all about demolishing boundaries and removing silos by merging cross-functional teams into one single physical or virtual entity. The main job of the engineers is to develop features, and the main objective of the DevOps model is to make the entire process operational from code check-in to testing, and to the software delivery into the production.

Now there is another trend emerging where quality and security check in the DevOps model is part of in the release delivery process. In this case, software delivery is integrated with automated security checks to decentralize security responsibilities. This model is known as DevSecOps, where security is as important as a software feature in everyone’s mind.

Their main objective is to automate the processes and make things faster and more reliable. The use of DevOps tools and practice makes the automation a more reliable and understandable function altogether.

Benefits of using DevOps

Speed

Speed matters and it matters more when it comes to business priorities. Now you can adapt to situations, improvise and meet your customer’s requirement faster; and increase your service efficiency by making it hard for your competitors to keep up with you.

Rapid Delivery

With the faster release and delivery speed, you can now have the option of making everything paced up and more efficient. With innovation on the loose and everyone taking it, it’s best if you can bring new things and make the bug fixes. That gives you an edge over the competition. With a continuous delivery and integration process, it delivers software faster, better and more reliable. In the end, it’s a win-win for everyone.

Reliability

With the quality embedded into the software delivery automation, this guarantees better user experience. The agile delivery backed by DevOps automation serves as a powerful agent to make sure that you deliver the value to your customer without compromising on the quality of the product. With continuous integration and change, every update is visible. That makes the entire update more user-friendly and makes the overall process more agile.

Scale

A big-scale operation and maintenance is a great way to automate the entire time and budget-saving process. Automation makes the working smooth and running, and the understanding of the entire system makes it easy for the users to multitask. For example, infrastructure-as-code helps you manage your development, testing, and production environments in a repeatable and more efficient manner.

Security

Manier times people ignore the compliance and security required to meet speed requirement. However, this can put your business to risk. A DevOps model integrates automated compliance checks, fine-grained controls, and configuration management techniques with your pipeline to ensure the security aspect of the software delivery is taken care of. For example, using infrastructure as code and policy as code, you can define and then track compliance at scale.

DevOps Cultural Philosophy

Advancing to DevOps requires a shift in culture.  DevOps is tied in with removing the boundaries between the silos. Companies like ours, bring about a change in the organization's philosophy by making them more agile in introducing them the DevOps cultural change. DevOps experts not just introduce a customer to the newer concepts of deployment and release but also brings about a paradigm shift in how the teams perform and bring synergy amongst them.
