What is DevOps?

DevOps is a combination of software development and operations to increase the efficiency, speed, and security of software development and delivery compared to traditional processes.

What are Automation, Scaling, and Infrastructure?

Automation: Automation can provide consistency across repetitive tasks by configuring an automation tool and removing the threat of human error. As well as increase the speed of the team from code integration to application deployment. It also creates a much more reliable and stable system due to improved collaboration. Therefore this sees a reduction in errors from miscommunication.

Scaling: Scaling involves the ability to increase or decrease the resources dedicated to an application or system in response to changing demand. This can include scaling up to handle increased traffic or scaling down to save costs when demand is low. In the context of DevOps, scaling is often achieved through the use of cloud computing services like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, which allow for flexible and elastic infrastructure provisioning.

Infrastructure:

DevOps infrastructure or Infrastructure Automation under DevOps refers to a concept that revolves around the idea of managing infrastructure with the help of code. This is done with the help of certain tools or programs which can help to carry out the tasks automatically! Some of the leading IAC tools are listed below.

• Ansible

• Terraform

• SaltStack

• CloudFormation

• Azure Resource Manager

• SpectralOps

Why DevOps is Important?

DevOps is important due to the following benefits:

• Continuous delivery of software

• Better collaboration between teams

• Easy deployment

• Better efficiency and scalability

• Errors are fixed at the initial stage

• More security

• Less manual intervention (which means fewer chances of error)
