DevOps

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops).

It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

Building on Agile and Lean, DevOps enables the business to respond to changes and meet customer needs faster.


DevOps process:

  1. Coding – code development and review, source code management tools, code merging.
  2. Building – continuous integration tools, build status.
  3. Testing – continuous testing tools that provide quick and timely feedback on business risks.
  4. Packaging – artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging.
  5. Releasing – change management, release approvals, release automation.
  6. Configuring – infrastructure configuration and management, infrastructure as code tools.
  7. Monitoring – applications performance monitoring, end-user experience.

Benefits of DevOps:

  1. Faster time to market
  2. Higher ROI
  3. Greater user/customer satisfaction
  4. Increased efficiency
  5. Improved collaboration
  6. Early detection and correction of issues

CI/CD is a method to frequently deliver apps to customers by introducing automation into the stages of app development.

The main concepts attributed to CI/CD are continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment.

CI/CD is a solution to the problems integrating new code can cause for development and operations teams.

Specifically, CI/CD introduces ongoing automation and continuous monitoring throughout the lifecycle of apps, from integration and testing phases to delivery and deployment.

Taken together, these connected practices are often referred to as a "CI/CD pipeline" and are supported by development and operations teams working together in an agile way with a DevOps.

Tools used:

Git (Coding Phase):  tool used for source code management.

Maven (Build Phase): dynamically downloads Java libraries and Maven plug-ins from one or more repositories and create build.

JUnit (Test Phase):  used to write and run repeatable automated tests

Jenkins (Release Phase): central build and continuous integration

Docker (Deploy Phase): enables developers to package applications into containers, configure containers ready to deploy to the cloud.

Kubernetes (Operate Phase): Kubernetes is a system that manages containers (containerized applications) where a container could be explained as a lightweight virtual machine. To build an application you need to build a bunch of containers and then use Kubernetes to manage those containers.

AWS Cloud Watch (Monitor Phase): collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events.

Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a set of organizational and workflow patterns for implementing agile practices at an enterprise scale. The framework is a body of knowledge that includes structured guidance on roles and responsibilities, how to plan and manage the work, and values to uphold. Scrum is a simple, flexible approach to adopting Agile that's great for small teams. SAFe is an enterprise-wide Agile framework designed to help bring Agile beyond the team and into the company as a whole. Scaled Agile has built a comprehensive level that includes all the four layers called the team, program, large solutions, and portfolio level. 4 Layers: Portfolio - Strategy, Vision, Roadmap, Strategy goal, Decision making, Budget, Portfolio level metrics,  Program - Align multiple teams towards a common mission, Bring together all the Agile teams, transparency, collaboration, and synchronisation, Scrum of Scrums, Product Owners to define the overall vision. Large Solutions - ar...

Delivering a project within budget

 Here are some tips for delivering a project within budget: Set a realistic budget Define the project's scope and necessary resources, and create a budget that's realistic. Cost estimate Segment the project into smaller tasks and milestones to plan how to use resources and provide clarity. Divide the project plan Break down the project into tasks to avoid late deliverables and over-budget projects. Monitor progress Regularly track the project's progress to identify and prevent cost overruns. Use progress reports to compare actual costs to the budget. Anticipate and revise changes Communicate with stakeholders to identify and assess risks, and assign owners to each risk. Consider different scenarios Estimation can be difficult for complex projects with many potential outcomes. Tracking: Tracking time spent on tasks, Tracking expenses per project, and Using project management software. Use Historical Data Your project is likely not the first to try and accomplish a specific o...
