- DevOps changes the landscape completely and we can observe it by this example: if you will
see today in the job descriptions, you look at the developers today there is no Java developer
there is no DOTNET developers there are full stack developers. All of them are powered by
tools, everybody wants to release faster, everybody want to be more secure and therefore, if
you don’t know how to combine your skills and role with the power of tools and automation
which is DevOps, you will fall behind.
- As DevOps at its core is a cultural shift from traditional way of working to a new approach
of working together which allows building, testing, and deploying software rapidly,
frequently, and reliably. This approach no doubt helps organization and enterprises to achieve
their goals quicker and faster turnaround time to deploy the new features, security issues,
and bug fixes.
- But, it affects the entire work process and this change cannot be possible to implement
overnight. DevOps shift asked for automation at several stages which helps in achieving
Continuous Development, Continuous Integration, Continuous Testing, Continuous Deployment,
Continuous Monitoring, Virtualization and Containerization to provide a quality product to the
end user at a very fast pace. This requires careful and gradual implementation so as to not
make a mess of the functioning of the organization
- DevOps implementation requires peoples who can understand the organization current scenarios
and helps them to implement this shift accordingly. There is no single tool or magic pill that
can fix existing issues in organizations and achieve the purpose of DevOps to work on
collaboration. Therefore a software engineer nowadays must possess the DevOps skills and
mindset and required various tools knowledge and they should have that sound knowledge to
understand where to use these tools accordingly to automate the complete process
Apart from DevOps:
DevOps, DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) all three are going to rule the
Software Development Industry.
DevOps aims to increase the speed of software delivery by enabling continuous collaboration,
communication, automation and integration.
DevSecOps aims to increase the level of security with faster development. It helps developers
and security professionals find and maintian a healthy balance instead of priotizing the
faster software delivery.
After that, the requirement of an SRE naturally comes when a team is implementing DevOps and
DevSecOps. SRE make sure to enable balance between developing new features on the one hand,
and ensuring that production systems run smoothly and reliably, on the other.
Earlier DevOps were adopted and still transition is going on from Agile to DevOps and after
lots of debate IT leaders are really looking forward to shifting towards DevSecOps mindset.
ANd now SRE concept introduced by Google engineer's who build and implement softwares to
improve the reliability of systems.
Its no more DevOps vs DevSecOp vs SRE - it’s SRE with DevOps and DevSecOps. In a nuthsell we
can say, DevOps asks what needs to be done, DevSecOps asks it also needs to be done and SRE
asks how that can be done.
All disciplines, DevOps, DevSecOp and SREs, aims to enhance the release cycle by helping
developers and oprations and QAs to see each other’s side of the process throughout the
software development lifecycle. They also advocate automation and monitoring, reducing the
time from when a developer commits a change to when it’s deployed to production. It requires
full commitment from everyone involved in the process. They all aim for this result without
compromising the quality of the code or the product itself. The whole team can work together
to deliver a secure product that can be easily updated, managed, and monitored.
