Introduction to DevOps

Day 1 of 90daysofdevops

I'm excited to share that I've taken up the 90-day challenge to acquire expertise in DevOps with the help of Trainwithshubham. The DevOps Zero to Hero Master's Program offered by him is an excellent opportunity to prepare oneself for a career and growth in the fast-growing field of DevOps.

Here is the Day 1 of the #90daysofdevops challenge -

Tasks for Day 1 -

  • Why DevOps is Important?

  • What are Automation, Scaling, and Infrastructure?

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a software development methodology that combines software development (Dev) and information technology operations (Ops) to improve the speed and quality of software delivery. DevOps is based on the idea that by bringing together developers and IT operations teams, they can collaborate more effectively and deliver software faster and with fewer errors.

DevOps aims to improve the overall software development process by breaking down traditional silos between development and operations teams and creating a more collaborative and efficient workflow.

DevOps is a set of practices by which we develop, test, build, deploy, scale, monitor, and automate the infrastructure.

Why DevOps is important?

DevOps is important because it enables organizations to deliver software more quickly and with higher quality, while also improving collaboration, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

What are Automation, Scaling, and Infrastructure?

Automation, scaling, and infrastructure are three key components of DevOps that help organizations to deliver software faster and more efficiently.

  1. Automation: DevOps relies heavily on automation to streamline the software development process. Automation involves using tools and scripts to automate tasks such as building, testing, and deploying software, as well as managing infrastructure. By automating these tasks, DevOps teams can reduce the time and effort required to perform them manually, while also minimizing the risk of errors and inconsistencies.

  2. Scaling: DevOps is designed to support rapid and agile development, which requires the ability to scale resources up and down quickly as needed. This includes scaling computing resources such as servers and databases, as well as scaling teams to meet demand. DevOps teams use techniques such as containerization and cloud computing to enable rapid scaling and ensure that applications can run reliably and efficiently at scale.

  3. Infrastructure: DevOps involves managing infrastructure as code, which means that infrastructure components such as servers, networks, and databases are treated as code and managed using the same tools and processes as software code. This allows for greater control and automation of infrastructure, as well as better visibility and management of infrastructure changes. Infrastructure as code also enables DevOps teams to provision and configure infrastructure more quickly and consistently, which helps to speed up software delivery.
