DevOps¶

collaboration between development team and operations teams
improve the speed, quality, and reliability of SDLC / software delivery.
automation
continuous integration (CI)
continuous delivery (CD)
monitoring
- Continuous monitoring of the production environment for issues
- cloudwatch > datadog > service-now
- splunk on on-prem
- more: Prometheus, Grafana
faster feedback loops.
- due to frequent release from CD pipeline, users get frequent update.

A. IAC¶

Developers commit their code changes to VCS.
After each commit, an automated build is triggered to compile the code, ensuring that the new code doesn’t break the project.
build process - maven package
triggers Junit (automated testing)
Early detection of bugs
trigger code scan - synk
static scan - vulnerability.
dynamic scan
code coverage
merging code changes from different contributors into a shared repository frequently (develop branch)
manual review.
triggers CD pipeline to deploy to pre-prod env - dev1, qa1

CD takes the concept of CI, a step further by automating the release process
automatically deployed to a staging or pre-production environment for further testing
staging environment closely matches the production environment
Automated Rollbacks on failure
type:
Continuous Deployment
- automatically deployed to production without human intervention
Continuous Delivery
- Changes are automatically deployed to staging or pre-production environments
- but require manual approval for production deployment
- monthy release planned.
