List of Core Devops Concepts

CI/CD and Deployment

• Continuous Integration (CI): This involves the seamless integration of code changes into a shared repository, accompanied by automated testing to ensure code quality.
• Continuous Delivery (CD): Once code changes pass tests, they are automatically deployed to staging or production environments.

Continuous Deployment and Automated Pipelines

• Continuous Deployment: This takes automation a step further by directly deploying code changes to the production environment.
• Automated Deployment Pipelines: These pipelines comprise multiple automated stages for building, testing, and deploying applications.

Version Control and Code Management

• Version Control: Utilizing tools like Git to effectively manage code changes and maintain a detailed history of modifications.
• Note: A foundational concept covered in our initial learning stages.

Infrastructure Automation: IaC and Monitoring

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Streamlining infrastructure management through code-based automation.
• Infrastructure Monitoring: Overseeing the health of servers, networks, and databases for optimal performance.

Containerization and Configuration Management

• Containerization: Bundling applications along with their dependencies in isolated containers for consistent deployment.
• Configuration Management: Automating the maintenance of uniform configurations across different environments.
• Orchestration: Employing tools like Kubernetes to effectively manage containerized applications.
• Versioning and Release Management: Skillfully handling diverse application versions and releases.

Testing and Monitoring for Quality

• Automated Testing: Implementation of various automated testing methods to uphold software quality.
• Monitoring and Logging: Constantly monitoring performance metrics and storing logs for detailed analysis.

Microservices Architecture

• Microservices: Constructing applications using independently deployable services for enhanced flexibility.

Integrating Security in DevOps

• Security in DevOps: Embedding security practices throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
