Back in 2009, the concept of DevOps emerged as a solution to the challenges faced during development, operations and finally deployment of a build. DevOps was originated to bridge the communication gaps between the development, QA and operations teams as well.<\/p>\n
As Wikipedia explains the definition for DevOps; \u201cDevOps is a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the change being placed into normal production, while ensuring high quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
The idea of DevOps is to have a collaborative relationship with the developers, Operation and QA engineers<\/a>. There must be cooperation within these teams, they must teach each other their tools and share their responsibilities and work as a team implementing DevOps.<\/p>\n However, the sad reality is there is a huge gap between idea and practice. When put into practice many companies failed to implement DevOps this way.<\/p>\n Since the implementation of DevOps; the software industry has been through a sea of change. The futile attempt just to collaborate the teams ended into teams working in the same silos which became slightly better over time. While working on a project the development and QA teams would shove their responsibilities as soon a code or an application would successfully pass the test. Then it would be the operation\u2019s responsibility to deploy it successfully into production and continue its maintenance.<\/p>\n This did not help in implementing DevOps<\/a> as the concept is much more than just collaboration within teams.<\/p>\n [the_ad id=”2867″]<\/p>\n DevOps is a concept; it is a culture practiced by the engineering teams (development and operations) to bring more coordination into their existing workflow and be more productive. However, to practice DevOps culture successfully some core values of DevOps must be incorporated, they are:<\/p>\n In the real-life DevOps team, the DevOps engineer has an important role to play. Instead of following the prototype where the developer is responsible for building and running the code; then passing it to the operations team. They must follow the \u2018shift left\u2019 policy where a batch of code is tested after it is sent to the repository before building a new version of an application. The DevOps engineer must plan how the application will run long before it is built<\/a>. The scripts of the CI\/CD pipelines are written accordingly ensuring faster time to market, less downtime and better user experience.<\/p>\n Hence without a DevOps engineer, a DevOps team is incomplete.<\/p>\n The roles of every individual are defined in a DevOps team defining responsibilities to team members are as follows:<\/p>\n This is the basic composition of a real-life DevOps team where roles are shared, the task is monitored, and responsibilities are taken to make sure the production is deployed faster with minimum downtime making for a wonderful user experience. The world of DevOps has a lot to offer provided it is implemented and incorporated as per the rules.<\/p>\n The changes brought by DevOps to the software industry<\/h2>\n
