Devops

Dionysus Technology software development offers end-to-end DevOps consulting services in Hyderabad based on the modern methodologies designed to deliver high-quality software faster.

DevOps is an operational approach that values collaboration, communication and integration between software developers and IT operations.

DevOps is a movement focused around the collaboration of development, operations and testing teams within a company. It ultimately increases speed to market and improves governance of mission-critical workloads, all while decreasing error rates and downtime. Dionysus Technology helps companies adopt and manage DevOps best practices.

By implementing a DevOps approach, you can:

• Deploy frequently with a low failure rate
• Increase time to recovery
• Reduce human errors
• Resolve operational issues quickly
• Automate production releases

Ultimately, DevOps helps organizations produce software and IT services more rapidly by utilizing practices, tools and policies that lead to improved software quality and reduces time to market. This will not only result in a more dynamic and responsive team, but it also means you can get your products in front of your customers faster and see the immediate impact on your business.

Devops may be one of the haziest terms in software development, but most of us agree that five activities make devops what it is: continuous integration, continuous delivery, cloud infrastructure, test automation, and configuration management. If you do these five things, you do devops. Clearly, all five are important to get right, but all too easy to get wrong. In particular, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) may be the most difficult devops moves to master.

Continuous integration (CI)

Continuous integration (CI) is a process in which developers and testers collaboratively validate new code. Traditionally, developers wrote code and integrated it once a month for testing. That was inefficient—a mistake in code from four weeks ago could force the developers to revise code written one week ago. To overcome that problem, CI depends on automation to integrate and test code continuously. Scrum teams using CI commit code daily at the very least, while a majority of them commit code for every change introduced.

Continuous delivery (CD)

Continuous delivery (CD) is the process of continuously creating releasable artifacts. Some companies release to users once or even multiple times a day, while others release the software at a slower pace for market reasons. Either way, the ability to release is tested continuously. Continuous deployment is possible thanks to cloud environments. Servers are set up such that you can deploy to production without shutting down and manually updating servers.

Thus, CI/CD is a process for continuous development, testing, and delivery of new code.
