How DevOps can become more effective

How DevOps can become more effective

DevOps is a trend that has become very popular these days.

There is still little consensus as to what it means beyond the classic definition of a tighter and more effective collaboration between development teams and operations teams.
Depending on the organization, this acronym can mean different things, but we can see an ascending trend that is trying to come up with a general definition in practice and support to help organizations enhance the collaboration between the operations team and the development team to produce better software. Next I am going to talk about a few trends and practices that can facilitate a better collaboration

  • DevOps and support people have to work close together on a regular basis, a common practice that we can find present in the agile system and community that ultimately motivates agile developers to work closely to the business
  • Sometimes applying configuration management at the solution level it’s not enough, you have to think outside the box and consider production configuration issues between their solution and the rest of the organization’s infrastructure as well. The development teams must comprehend and manage the full range of dependencies for their product
  • Through continuous integration we can build and validate a project using automated regression testing and sometimes code analysis whenever the updated code is checked. Enables the developing of high quality working solution safely in small steps

  • You can extend your practice of continuous integrations through continuous deployment, your modifications are automatically promoted to the next sandbox when the integration is successful and thus the integrations is automatically started here. This makes the teams be more time efficient, helps them reduce the time between a new feature being identified and being deployed intro production

  • Monitoring can help your business, operating systems, application servers and communication services sometimes provide monitoring possibilities that can be leveraged by monitoring tools. DevOp teams have to focus more on what user interface features are being used and they need to have access to a framework that makes it straightforward
