Module 10 – DevOps & Cloud Concepts
Topic: Introduction to DevOps
1. What is DevOps?
DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies that
automate and integrate the processes between software development
and IT operations. Its goal is to shorten the development life cycle and
provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
"Dev" stands for Development
"Ops" stands for Operations
DevOps is not a technology or a tool, but a culture that emphasizes
collaboration, communication, and integration between software
developers and IT operations teams.
2. Objectives of DevOps
Faster delivery of features
Stable operating environments
Improved collaboration between teams
Automation of repetitive tasks
Faster resolution of problems
Continuous improvement
3. Key DevOps Principles
Principle Description
Automating build, test, and deployment
Automation
processes
Principle Description
Continuous
Code changes are merged and tested frequently
Integration
Continuous Delivery Software is always in a deployable state
Monitoring and
Ensures performance and helps in debugging
Logging
Developers and operations work together
Collaboration
continuously
4. DevOps Tools Overview
Purpose Tools
Version Control Git, GitHub, GitLab
CI/CD Pipelines Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
Build Tools Maven, Gradle, npm
Testing Tools Selenium, JUnit
Monitoring Prometheus, Grafana
Configuration Mgmt Ansible, Puppet, Chef
Containerization Docker
Orchestration Kubernetes
Security & Quality SonarQube, Checkmarx
5. DevOps Lifecycle
The DevOps lifecycle involves several stages that repeat continuously:
Plan – Define project scope, requirements, and features.
Develop – Write application code using version control systems.
Build – Compile the code into build artifacts.
Test – Run automated tests.
Release – Deploy builds to production/staging.
Deploy – Use tools to automate the deployment process.
Operate – Monitor and manage infrastructure.
Monitor – Track application performance and collect metrics.
6 DevOps & CI/CD Concepts
Continuous Integration (CI): Developers regularly integrate code into a
shared repository, verified by automated builds and tests.
Tools: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
Continuous Delivery (CD): Keeping code deployable at all times with
automated testing and easy releases.
Tools: Jenkins, CircleCI, Spinnaker
7. Common DevOps Tools
GitHub:
Web-based Git version control platform
Facilitates collaboration, reviews, pull requests
Integrates with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions
Jenkins:
Open-source automation server for CI/CD pipelines
Extensible via plugins
Integrates with Git, Maven, Docker, Kubernetes
Basic Jenkins Pipeline example:
groovy
CopyEdit
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Building...'
}
}
stage('Test') {
steps {
echo 'Testing...'
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
echo 'Deploying...'
}
}
}
}
SonarQube:
Open-source code quality inspection platform
Detects bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells
Supports Java, Python, JavaScript, and more
8. Benefits of DevOps
Benefits Impact
Faster time to market Releases happen more frequently
Improved collaboration Bridges gap between Development and Ops
Better customer experience Frequent feature updates
Increased reliability Automated testing and monitoring
Resource optimization Efficient CI/CD pipelines
9. Challenges in DevOps Adoption
Organizational resistance to change
Tool overload and integration complexity
Need for skilled personnel
Security and compliance challenges
10. Summary
DevOps promotes:
Agility in development
Stability in operations
Quality in delivery
By combining tools, practices, and cultural philosophies, DevOps
enhances the software development lifecycle, ensuring faster and more
reliable software releases.
