DevOps is a combination of "Dev" standing for Development and "Ops" for Operations. DevOps bridges the gap between both teams that work in silos in traditional methodologies.
DevOps creates an integrated environment where multiple cloud tools and in-house resources work together with automation. The idea is to produce quality software releases quickly and repeatedly.
Lately, DevOps jobs are in huge demand in the software development industry. Here at bebo Technologies, the development team works consistently with the operations team to release a quality product after a week/month time (from the launch of the new project) by pushing the code through any source code management tool. By doing so, updates get pushed through continuous integration or continuous delivery systems.
In DevOps, the focus is on automation testing and automation of all the manual processes, such as - installation, configuration, deployment, monitoring.
DevOps is a set of processes that combines development and operations teams together to streamline software development. It enables organizations to create and improve software products faster as compared to traditional development approaches. The team members who collaborate for the end-to-end responsibility of gathering information, setting up the project infrastructure, developing, testing, deploying, and continuous monitoring are DevOps engineers.
DevOps engineers work on frequent and incremental changes to code, resulting in frequent deployment and testing. They utilize different tools and technologies used by customers like AWS, Azure, Ansible, and New Relic. DevOps engineers should have a working knowledge of the basics of development languages such as Groovy, Python.
DevOps engineers work with various teams to handle the coding/scripting issues and fix the defects in libraries or software code. Their focus is twofold: the first is to write application code (like Dev), and the second, is to write code that ensures the applications are performing optimally.
DevOps Engineer jobs demand a variety of skills like technical knowledge of cloud infrastructure, functional skills like IT operations and exposure to automation tools, and framework skills such as engineering for site reliability.
DevOps jobs are in high demand. Professionals who learn the right skill sets to thrive in this challenging environment of DevOps can succeed in growing their development careers exponentially in the long run.
As the demand for new software/applications grows, so does the need for DevOps professionals. Increased demand for innovative software and applications was the biggest challenge companies encountered in 2020-2021. Currently, the demand is at an all-time high because companies are automating the whole process from coding to delivery. They are using cloud environments to release quality products within a stipulated time frame.
