The DevOps reference architecture comprises four stages: Plan, Develop/test, Deploy, and Operate. You need to plan well, and this is done by the project manager, business analysts, team leaders, and various subject matter experts. The Software development process is the same though now it is automated. The automation starts from Jira project management itself.Jira connects all the players in software development and through its integration with the version control system, all continuously push the code through the version control for build via the developers and designers. And, our goal for this blog is to find out the top 10 benefits of learning DevOps. The above few lines of discussion confirm that DevOps benefits start from the planning phase. You will find below that the project managers, team leaders, and business analysts are also benefited from DevOps. All the software development team members are benefitted. Below we first discuss the software development processes, and then we will see how the DevOps fits into each of them. We will find out how the DevOps benefits various software development players. Also, finally, we will craft 10 benefits of learning DevOps. And if you want to learn all this, you can contact Naresh I Technologies. We offer complete DevOps online training for all DevOps certifications. Naresh I Technologies also is the number one computer training institute in Hyderabad. And it is among the top five computer training institutes in India. Let’s first brief the DevOps tools: 1. We have the version control toolkits like Git and mercurial. And we have the repositories like GitHub and Bit bucket to store our code. And from there we can push the code for building. 2. We have the build tools like Maven and Bamboo 3. We have the CI/CD tools like the Jenkins. 4. We have functional and nonfunctional testing tools like Load Runner, Load Storm, Cloud Test, and Joint. 5. We have provisioning and change management tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, OpsWork, Cloud Formation, and Beanstalk. 6. We have monitoring and control tools like Nagios, Splunk, and Cloud Watch. 7. We have a content delivery network like Cloud front. 8. We have the storage facilities like S3, S3 Glacier, Snowball, and many more 9. We have the container tools like Docker. 10. We have the container registry. 11. We have the container orchestration tools like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. 12. We have the container composition analysis tools for testing container images. 13. We have the container deployment tools. 14. We have the container monitoring and control tools. 15. We have various other testing tools like performance testing tools, acceptance testing tools, integration testing tools, load testing tools, browser compatibility testing tools, alpha testing tools, beta testing tools, black box testing tools, white box testing tools, and a lot more. 16. We have analytics tools like Firebase, AWS Cloud Search, Athena, and various others for the varied dataset. 17. We have a backend as a service like Firebase and AWS Amplify. And all of these are quite powerful and can be integrated with the DevOps Pipeline. Now let us consider the Software development team members one by one, and elaborately. 1. Business development manager This is the person who brings the project to a company. They are the first person to initiate the talk with the clients about the projects. He is provided with a good portfolio from the company and is trained to have the introductory nitty-gritty of the software technology. Senior professionals with experience gain even more technical knowledge. They are generally an MBA in Business development. And they are supposed to regularly solve the software development-related use cases so that theyare ready while he communicates with the client. Many companies are now preferring an Engineer with an MBA degree for this post as they find better coding knowledge is a must for the Business development manager apart from the business knowledge. He is assisted by a team of Business development executives. 2. Marketing team The software development team continuously market its product and skills as well. And this results in direct leads for the company. We will see how these fit into the DevOps. However, there is a Marketing manager plus various executives in this team. The Technical writers apart from writing various other documentations write marketing content as well for the marketing team. 3. Business Analyst Now suppose the project interview starts. The Business analyst talks to the client and knows about the requirements. He finally through his expertise concludes whether the project is feasible or not. He then sends the final quote to the BDM who then talks to the client and gets the approval of the client to start the project. The business analyst then discusses the project with the project manager. And they both together prepare the SRS or the software requirement specification report. The business analyst also curates the Product requirement documentation and business requirement documentation. They work with the developers and stakeholders. The technical writer works with the end-users and curates the manuals and help type of contents. Keep this in mind. People do get confused while comparing Business Analysts and Technical writers. 4. Project Managers They manage the software project development process. They understand the requirements and distribute the task among the team leaders. The team leaders then distribute the task among the software engineers,testers, designers, and developers. The team leaders report to the Project manager and the project manager reports to the Head of the company. There are various other reports plus software modeling techniques. Also, there are tools for workload distribution, management, and monitoring. And the project managers keep track of all the reports throughout the project development process. However, he is not concerned with modeling like use case diagrams, class diagrams, data flow diagrams, and like that as they are the concern for the team leaders and the developers. We discuss that below. 5. Team Leaders: They are the one who takes control of the overall development work. There is a separate team leader for development and designing. They manage the developers and the designers according to requirements, and their task is to get the things done within the deadline. Also, they need to check the accuracy of the work. You can consider them as supervisors who take responsibility for the whole work but they get the things done by the subordinates, which we see below. 6. Software developers, designers, testers The developers write the code, and they continuously push the code through Git to a central repository from where the code builds. The designers work on the front-end coding part, and they too push the code to the same central repository for the code build. The testers write the test cases, suites and perform the testing through the tools we discussed above. 7. Operations team, System Administrator A group of IT engineers performs the operations work, and they continue to deploy the code to the production environment. They are also responsible for provisioning, orchestration, and configuration of the resources required for hosting, monitoring, and controlling the software in a production environment. They make use of either cloud or tools for on-premises deployment. They make use of the monitoring and control tools as well for continuously monitoring and controlling the production environment. They do that to keep away the cyber threats. And there is a separate security team as well which looks after the certificates and passwords, and continuously updates them for the best level of security. They also check the code for security flaws. They are trained and knows the common vulnerabilities in the domain the technology used comes. And that is all about the software development team. The most popular SDLC and mostly used in Agile development. The DevOps uses the LEAN or the Agile software development methodology for development. However, it brings to the same stage the Operations and the Quality Assurance team as well. The DevOps engineer knows the coding as well as the operations side. However, it does not mean that he performs the coding as well. Coding is done by the developers, and in the future, we might use the code as a service through AI for light coding. However, a little coding knowledge is required as the DevOps need to manage the whole development and operations plus the quality assurance process. Without the knowledge of the coding, he will be in problems. So, let's see below how he gets all the team members discussed above to one stage.
