Development and operations both play essential roles in order to deliver applications. The
deployment comprises analyzing the requirements, designing, developing, and testing of
the software components or frameworks.
The operation consists of the administrative processes, services, and support for the software.
When both the development and operations are combined with collaborating, then the
DevOps architecture is the solution to fix the gap between deployment and operation terms;
therefore, delivery can be faster.
DevOps architecture is used for the applications hosted on the cloud platform and large
distributed applications. Agile Development is used in the DevOps architecture so that
integration and delivery can be contiguous. When the development and operations team works
separately from each other, then it is time-consuming to design, test, and deploy. And if the
terms are not in sync with each other, then it may cause a delay in the delivery. So DevOps
enables the teams to change their shortcomings and increases productivity.
Below are the various components that are used in the DevOps architecture:
1) Build
Without DevOps, the cost of the consumption of the resources was evaluated based on the
pre-defined individual usage with fixed hardware allocation. And with DevOps, the usage of
cloud, sharing of resources comes into the picture, and the build is dependent upon the user's
need, which is a mechanism to control the usage of resources or capacity.
2) Code
Many good practices such as Git enables the code to be used, which ensures writing the code
for business, helps to track changes, getting notified about the reason behind the difference in
the actual and the expected output, and if necessary reverting to the original code developed.
The code can be appropriately arranged in files, folders, etc. And they can be reused.
3) Test
The application will be ready for production after testing. In the case of manual testing, it
consumes more time in testing and moving the code to the output. The testing can be
automated, which decreases the time for testing so that the time to deploy the code to
production can be reduced as automating the running of the scripts will remove many manual
steps.
4) Plan
DevOps use Agile methodology to plan the development. With the operations and
development team in sync, it helps in organizing the work to plan accordingly to increase
productivity.
5) Monitor
Continuous monitoring is used to identify any risk of failure. Also, it helps in tracking the
system accurately so that the health of the application can be checked. The monitoring
becomes more comfortable with services where the log data may get monitored through many
third-party tools such as Splunk.
6) Deploy
Many systems can support the scheduler for automated deployment. The cloud management
platform enables users to capture accurate insights and view the optimization scenario,
analytics on trends by the deployment of dashboards.
7) Operate
DevOps changes the way traditional approach of developing and testing separately. The teams
operate in a collaborative way where both the teams actively participate throughout the service
lifecycle. The operation team interacts with developers, and they come up with a monitoring
plan which serves the IT and business requirements.
8) Release
Deployment to an environment can be done by automation. But when the deployment is made
to the production environment, it is done by manual triggering. Many processes involved in
release management commonly used to do the deployment in the production environment
manually to lessen the impact on the customers.
