How is DevOps helping during a crisis like COVID-19?
DevOps is helping Software teams work and develop software remotely. It is being adopted by all sizes of Technology teams in different sectors.
Software requirements are more demanding and challenging than ever before. Coordination between teams is not easy, when working remotely.
With DevOps and Cloud, businesses are trying to adapt to the new trend of automating manual operations, cutting down Go-to-Market software delivery costs, and improving business growth using Cloud-based tech solutions.
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations. It aims to shorten the system development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
DevOps is a set of practices used for development and operation to increase the efficiency, security, speed of software development and delivery life cycle compared to traditional ones.
Devops life cycle:
Plan
Build
Continuous integration deployment
Monitor
Operate
Continuous feedback
Plan

DevOps in corona:
Corna has affected so many lives by infecting them with diseases leading to death. So many lost their jobs as the government declared bandh which is declared as a national emergency for the safety and welfare of people.
Most of the schools, colleges took place in online mode. All software development has shifted from company based to work from home which gave so many members to spend some time with their family members.
In this situation also software jobs and employees are saved from not quitting or leaving the job because of DevOps as it increases the product efficiency, productivity and proper utilisation of materials, resources necessary for the development by minimising or optimising the things.
DevOps for IT companies:
DevOps uses in IT companies for providing services such as
IT infrastructure implementation and optimization
Cloud based software development
Dedicated IT infrastructure management
Docker services
CI/CD services
The DevOps will increase the efficiency and output of the companies as the company has so many departments which will reliable on each other for creating and developing existing and new software or product for consumers to take progress and build the quality of product more reliable the devops will automate the most of the task and reduce the cost of employees which will increase the profits of companies.
DevOps for work from home:
Using devops as basic practice in work from home one can get:
Effective use of environment
Better compliance standards
Improved communication
Optimising security
Error free database management.
DevOps for remote teams:
Devops uses various process including:
Configuration management
Continuous integration
Automation testing
Infrastructure as code
Continuous delivery
Continuous deployment
Continuous monitoring
Orchestration
Containerization
With devops one can limit the use case of resources available to the employee by udin the necessary tools by managing the things.
The code base created and developed code is integrated into the existing codebase by integration into it.
Automation testing is used to find bugs and test the cases that all the code is perfect to work with a variety of test conditions.
DevOps builds the necessary infrastructure in docker images, containers which can be easily setup.
With devops the manager can monitor the progress of code that the software engineers, developers under him are working properly or not and the progress is up to date or not.
DevOps using cloud:
DevOps will optimise the cost and use case while it is used with cloud technologies as it will use the necessary cloud computing features then using most of them. It will automate most of the things and relies on the scripts to work. The engineers has to predefine the necessary things to use for the project which are available in cloud computing sources and the has to work on their project building, developing and adding new features to existing ones.
Save costs with DevOps:
Faster development cycles:
Devops releases the software packages faster than normal ones and it relies on continuous delivery and continuous integration which will make the codebase fast, reliable, automate while building, testing and releasing the code to production environment.
Automation lets the employees know that the code that has been added recently is compatible with the existing ones by testing the codebase using an automated testing environment. It will reduce time taken to market for new features, hotfixes and security patches.
Minimise downtime:
Automation with DevOps makes deployment of products faster and more reliable. One can automate the solutions to common ones and have the system more stable when error occurs. It is possible to quickly fix the issues when we find an error in the deployment phase of the product life cycle.
Reduced computed cost:
DevOps reduces the computing cost by providing necessary computation sources necessary for development and integration of software in cloud computing technologies like google cloud platform, amazon cloud platform, azure cloud, alibaba cloud, digital ocean and few others.
Reduce the cost of promotion and release:
DevOps reduces the cost of promotion and release costs of software by eliminating time waste configuration for various environments. With devops write once run everywhere in the world by downloading the containers, docker images or environment files. The environment created helps in deploying, production and testing equally on all the machines of the employees working in that company or organisation.
Reduce switching costs:
New employees will get the set of development environments and code base ready. They have to set the environment by just typing simple commands which will be given to the developer such as “conda install env ”.
New employees will get a set of rules and best practices to be used to develop the product. The role of devops is vital compared to a normal software developer as it will increase the software output efficiently compared to normal development by continuous integration and continuous deployment.
