DevOps Services by InstaCarma

What is DevOps?

Devops is a culture that puts development and IT operations in the same boat. This method improves IT service delivery with both teams working together for continuous development, testing, feedback and deployments.

Why DevOps?

In today’s rapidly evolving and competitive business ecosystems, there is a constant need for improved reliability, faster delivery and incorporating complex, novel features in an app or software. When customers demand swift changes in functionality, the traditional way of doing things doesn’t equip us with the right tools to deal with frequent changes and demands. You need an accelerated delivery of service using agile principles and reduced delivery cycle times. This cannot be done without the help of a flexible operations team. This would be very difficult if your development team is oblivious to the IT requirements for code implementation. DevOps Service helps in bridging gaps in traditional development-IT relations and you get your much-needed focus on collaboration, automation, monitoring and increased throughput in delivering applications.

How DevOps?

First, we have to identify your DevOps business drivers, challenges, and initiatives. Transitioning to a DevOps model will take time and effort. Many new age companies has adopted devops in their initial stages. Companies that have followed a traditional method of software development which involves releasing a huge amount of code at infrequent intervals will find it difficult to adjust to the fast paced and frequent delivery demands. Chances of deployment failures at launch are high due to lack of collaboration with the IT-OPs team. 

DevOps brings in a culture of sharing information and creating repeatable collaborative processes. Using agile principles, we have to create cross-functional teams which comprise developers, IT Ops, infrastructure architects and a Quality Analysis team. Frequent releases and setting up test environments for them becomes a lucid process. Other major points to consider are:-

• Automated build and release

• Automated infrastructure/system provisioning

• Integrating DevOps tools into a Service Delivery Platform
