Devops practices lead by the devops culture that improves the software development life cycle to deliver the update frequently and maintain the stability.
Core Principles that help you to achieve devops Practices:
- Continuous Integration
- Continuous delivery/deployments
- Infrastructure as a code
- Communication and collaboration
- Observability and monitoring
A devops pipeline is the best example to show how the devops tools streamline the work and standardize practice that moves the code from source code, all the way to deployments.
Devops lifecycle Stages involves:
Code > Build > Test > Release > Deploy > Monitor
Code: Develop the code in languages such as .java, .Net and python.
Build: Compilation of code.
Test: Ensure the application meets the defined requirements.
Release: Prepare and package the tested code with a specific version number.
Deploy: Release in required environments like test, staging, alpha, beta, etc.
Monitor: Maintain the application in production to detect unusual activity and errors.
