Automated Deployment Services Using DevOps Best Practices
by Kristen White BloggerDevOps, as the name suggests, is a set of practices where software development (Dev) and information technology operations (Ops) are combined to reduce the life cycle of product development and provide continuous delivery (CD) using an automated deployment process. The overall quality of the product is improved, and the errors encountered in the process are eliminated.
DevOps provide solutions for the following problems:
Decreased productivityHigh costs of testing and deploymentDeployment failuresBusiness initiative delaysDefects and regression in releases
By using DevOps, enterprises can establish reliable test automation and integrate deployment automation across various environments. Enterprises can increase productivity and train employees to work efficiently on an advanced business system. Designing deployment pipeline and release processes are a part of using DevOps for the continuous delivery of the product.
Here are some of the DevOps Best Practices followed across the industry for improved business systems:
Integrated Configuration Management
Integrated configuration management allows developers to use existing resources instead of creating new ones from scratch. It works in tandem with integrated change management and deals with automation, monitoring, and maintaining configurations across the servers, applications, network, and storage systems.
Integrated Change Management
The process in which the configurations are changed and redefined to meet the new and improved conditions of the system is known as integrated change management.
Test Automation
Testing the code in the early stages will provide developers an opportunity to identify and resolve any of the errors that could cause problems during the later stages of product development. Test automation can be applied to code development, database and network changes, and load testing.
Continuous Integration
A famous DevOps service, Continuous Integration (CI), allows developers to carry out the integration sooner and with increased efficiency. It helps to improve the collaboration between development teams and results in building a superior product.
Continuous Delivery
The process/practice in which the newly developed code is tested at various stages of deployment by using both manual and automated testing is known as Continuous Delivery (CD). It helps shorten the life cycle of product development.
Continuous Deployment
The process in which the code is automatically deployed in the production environment after it passes through the various test environments is known as Continuous Deployment. Automated Deployment Services enable enterprises to fully automate the build, deploy, test, and release the software product with increased quality at a faster pace.
There are quite a few reasons why automated deployment is better when compared to manual deployment:
Faster Deployments
Automation makes it easier to make changes to the code and create new test environments. Developers don’t have to manually check the code for errors and make changes.
Reduce Human Error
Though it is possible to deploy a wrong code, the chances of making a mistake during the build and deployment process are reduced. Any change in the code is reflected throughout the process.
Ease of Rollback
If any error arises, the code can be rolled back to the original state. Developers do not have to write new code from scratch.
Testing Along the Way
The code can be tested at various stages of deployment to ascertain that the final product will be correct.
Automating the deployment process using DevOps will reduce the time, money, and energy spent on building and releasing new software products.
