OpenSource For U, Monday, October 21st, 2024
This overview takes you down the path of DevOps development, its benefits and drawbacks as well as the resources you may need to become an expert in this field. It explains the roles of a DevOps professional and why they are in demand.
Suppose, say, you are trying to prepare a cake. You have the ingredients (your resources), an oven (your baking instrument), and a recipe (which is your goal). Like most people, you want to ensure that everything is prepared at the right moment, that the oven is heated to the correct temperature, and that all the components are well combined. You do not want a burnt or partially baked cake, do you?
This is similar to what DevOps is for IT operations and software development. It's a method of working that unifies the two central departments into a single, efficient process - operations (the team that runs servers and infrastructure) and development (the team that produces code).
