What Is It?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DevOps<\/strong> is a set of practices that combines software development<\/a> (Dev<\/em>) and information-technology operations<\/a> (Ops<\/em>) which aims to shorten the systems development life cycle<\/a> and provide continuous delivery<\/a> with high software quality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toolchains<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As DevOps is intended to be a cross-functional mode of working, those that practice the methodology use different sets of tools\u2014referred to as “toolchains<\/a>“\u2014rather than a single one.These toolchains are expected to fit into one or more of the following categories, reflective of key aspects of the development and delivery process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Coding \u2013 code development and review, source code management<\/a> tools, code merging<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Building \u2013 continuous integration<\/a> tools, build status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Testing \u2013 continuous testing<\/a> tools that provide quick and timely feedback on business risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Packaging \u2013 artifact repository<\/a>, application pre-deployment staging<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Releasing \u2013 change management, release approvals, release automation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Configuring \u2013 infrastructure configuration and management, infrastructure as code<\/a> tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Monitoring \u2013 applications performance monitoring<\/a>, end-user experience<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Some categories are more essential in a DevOps toolchain than others; especially continuous integration (e.g. Jenkins<\/a>, Gitlab<\/a>, Bitbucket<\/a> pipelines) and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform<\/a>, Ansible<\/a>, Puppet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Forsgren et al.<\/em> found that IT performance is strongly correlated with DevOps practices like source code management<\/a> and continuous delivery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
