Key Principles of DevOps

Understand the core principles that drive DevOps practices and how they enhance software development and operations.

Adhering to the key principles of DevOps will ensure a more successful development, delivery, and implementation of applications and services.

  • Collaboration: DevOps emphasizes breaking down silos between development and operations teams, encouraging shared responsibilities and improved communication.

  • Automation: Automation is a core tenet of DevOps, involving the use of tools to automate manual and repetitive tasks in the software development and delivery pipeline.

  • Continuous Integration (CI): Developers integrate their code into a shared repository multiple times a day, with automated builds and tests to detect and address issues early in the development process.

  • Continuous Deployment (CD): Continuous Deployment involves automatically deploying code changes to production environments after passing automated tests. This ensures rapid and reliable releases.

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): IaC involves managing and provisioning infrastructure through code, enabling consistent and repeatable infrastructure deployments.

  • Monitoring and Feedback: DevOps emphasizes continuous monitoring of applications and infrastructure, providing real-time feedback to identify and address issues promptly.
