What Is DevOps Methodology: The History

So, the first question first. 

Do you know what is DevOps and why is it important? 

Let’s go back to the memory lane a bit.

Andrew Shafer and Patrick Debois first introduced the term publicly in 2008 at the Agile Toronto conference. DevOps is (a stapled compound term of development and operations) is a software engineering culture or methodology that aims at integrating software development and software operations.

It encourages the communication between software developers and IT operations to increase the efficiency at which products are delivered the main feature of DevOps guide the automation and monitoring at all steps of software development. It mainly targets at shorter development cycles, increased implementation frequency, more errorless release perfectly aligned with business objectives.

But, you must have heard of this line pretty often-

“DevOps is not just a framework, it’s a culture.”

In fact, in our blog “DevOps: A Role? Or A Culture?” we discussed it in detail too. 

Still have doubts regarding what it means? 

Let’s go through the DevOps concepts once again then!

Concepts Of DevOps

 

We know that DevOps is made from two terms Development and Operation, In traditional method the organizations were facing so many problems because there was no communication between development team and operation team, because of that the total strength or we can say the efficiency of an organization is fallen down, now we can understand that how the DevOps concept developed. Get It? The incapability of organization made people think that they have to move for a different approach and "then" the concept of DevOps was created.

If you go through our blog “A Career Ops Guy’s Story Of Embracing DevOps” you will get a real-life sneak peek of introducing DevOps in an organization and the reasons behind that.

We can frame the main definition of DevOps like this:

DevOps is the method or process of development and operation experts, synchronizing their work in the entire service delivery lifecycle.

The necessity of DevOps for Organization?

Necessity of DevOps Organization

The DevOps methodology improves understanding of the steps in the total service lifecycle by regulating the service management to assist in the operational activities which ultimately prevents or reduces the production errors.

The Company who implemented the DevOps process achieves more performance with plain and simple with a unique group of members who’s all work is synchronized. Simply the organization that implements DevOps in their process can deliver the service faster with better and innovative functionality. It also overcomes the potential problems in service delivery, collaborating the two departments assure that the services are delivered faster also dwindles the uncertain events in the product development stage through automated testing.

Organizations also have to understand that to make DevOps approach more effectively, you need deliberate control over business management and be also ready for cultural change to supplicate the right skills.

Benefits of DevOps

The Technical Benefits:

  1. Problems are less and can be fixed easily

  2. Software delivery becomes a stable process

  3. Resolving of problems becomes faster

Business Benefits:

  1. Features are delivered more quickly

  2. Operating procedure becomes smooth and controllable

  3. Gives more time to add value

There are Cultural Benefits:

  1. Higher Employee Commitment

  2. Happier, more productive teams

  3. More opportunity for professional development

Apart from this, DevOps practices have other benefits as well. A few months back we hosted this webinar to discuss the DevOps practices beyond development and operations:

1. Reduce service delivery time:

By collaborating the most important department in the company will ultimately reduce the service delivery time because there are fewer errors and automated testing at every step of the product development cycle.

2. Better defect detection:

DevOps methodology is basically based on the Agile principles so the massive product development steps are broken down into small, strategic, and particular steps and because of that businesses can gain more control over the process by monitoring every step.

3. Improved communication and collaboration:

Synchronizing two different departments in the organization is not complex like it sounds because it creates a communication path between development and operation engineer’s helps each other process with their skills and capabilities.

4. Fast recover from failure:

In the conventional IT work process, first, the development proves carried out and then the functionality was improved by the operation engineers but in DevOps culture, both departments work closely with each other so the changes or failures of product are identified early and resolved.

5. More time to innovate:

Reduced time over the total service delivery process and less fallback because of improved product development cycle, engineers can work more efficiently and spend their saved time on innovating new functions or new processes.

6. More Stable with Greater quality software:

The secret of success in DevOps methodology is because, in this method, all components of enterprise follow a single objective. DevOps works by giving different roles and responsibilities to the same staff or employees but one common objective which orbits around quality, reliability, security, user experience, and time to market.

Why do you need DevOps certification?

In our previous blog“Few Perks Of Choosing A DevOps Career”, we discussed it all.

Still, let’s sum it up for you!

A concept of DevOps is still not that recognized but nowadays most of the multinational companies operating at cloud technology implementing DevOps process so instead of pursuing in the highly competitive job market it’s a better option to stand out from the rest and emerge with unique skills and knowledge.
