The operations team uses it for work and reports … [Read more...]

In our previous series of articles on DevOps, we stated that the aim of the collaboration should be to use the agile principles of software engineering across departments and thus to derive added value from the cooperation. While DevOps and Agile are two different things, they are often mistaken for one another. In reality, the two represent different approaches or practices in developing … [Read more...]

It is important to understand that DevOps is not hype. In our earlier articles, we discussed about Basics of DevOps, Analysis of Docker in DevOps, Analysis of Jenkins for DevOps and finally the article before this one - DevOps and Containerization Tools. The linked articles are enough descriptive to provide an idea about DevOps to a beginner. There are different advantages which can be gained … [Read more...]

Modern professional developer's life no way restricted within the coding. We continuously talk about Docker, Kubernetes, serverless, unikernels, CI/CD software (like Jenkins, Travis), tools automating the infrastructure (such as Chef, Puppet, Ansible, SaltStack), monitoring application performance (such as ELK, Prometheus) in this website because blogs of our IT sponsors talk about the … [Read more...]

Jenkins, as a continuous integration tool, allows project teams to focus on their work by automating the build process, artifact management and deployment process. This is so well implemented that the Jenkins are no longer indispensable to DevOps today. In part II of analysis of Jenkins for DevOps, we discussed about integration into the project cycle. This is the part III of the series. In This … [Read more...]

In first part of this series, we have discussed the bare minimum theoretical basis. This is Part II of Analysis of Jenkins for DevOps. In this part, we have discussed the practical procedure of integration into the project cycle. The goal of this series of work is to evaluate how the use of Jenkins facilitates the distribution and set-up of software, thus improving collaboration between … [Read more...]
