DevOps has great influence over businesses and organizations as it facilitates speedy development and deployment of apps while providing error-free outputs. DevOps practices enable collaboration among development, security, and operation teams to reduce the software development life cycle. Unlike Microsoft PowerApps development, DevOps is not about following an automation process but it demands a true management of change so that the team can meet the development timeline without any hurdles.
What is DevOps?
DevOps comprises pre-defined practices to streamline software development by automating and improving communication and collaboration between developers and the operational team. DevOps helps organizations to achieve speedy development by involving everyone in the procedure. It is not only about tools and automation processes, but it also represents team collaboration. In simple words, it’s all about simplifying complex procedures into a sleek and smooth practice that involves speed and better productivity to get error-free results in no time.
How DevOps has evolved over the past few years?
In the past, DevOps was only focused on improving the IT environment but now It covers the entire enterprise structure to gain great benefits. DevOps has evolved in many ways including security, automation, cloud computing, AI and ML, serverless architecture, etc. So, we can say the evolution journey of DevOps is quite remarkable which started from basic functions to now proffering a mature set of practices that ease the entire software development process. In the future, more and more companies will aim to extract maximum value from their DevOps platforms to simplify their processes and prevent application creep.
Common DevOps challenges and solutions
There are myriad challenges concerned with this agile method that need to be checked out. Here you can find the potential solution to these challenges as well, so you won’t face any obstacles while going on your journey.
Environmental Obstacle – From development to deployment, the codebase of the program changes as it goes on hands from one team to another. During the transition, teams separately modify the codebase to work under their distinct environment. Now this results in absolute time waste and even causes errors. A solution for this is to bring the team together and plan the continuous delivery process to ensure a smooth transition.
Team Collaboration – In DevOps, it’s required to run the development, testing, and deployment in a continuous loop. And it becomes difficult to tie all the team members into one location. To overcome this situation, run the automation process to perform all the repetitive tasks which streamlines the entire development life cycle.
Monitoring the Entire Procedure – One of the most common challenges faced with DevOps is monitoring the overall procedure. DevOps comprises different moving parts and each part has different metrics to monitor their effectiveness. And so there is a lack of clear visibility that leads to delays in production.
To come over this situation, it’s preferable to use tools to continuously monitor the app, metrics, services, and other components. This way, you will get clear visibility to detect critical issues and you can work to resolve them instantly.
Version Control – DevOps relies on version control where the goal is to work on the stable version. However, some unexpected changes can break the entire pipeline due to compatibility issues. A solution to this is to put a forced stop to all auto updates. So that you don’t have to work under the unstable version because of auto updates.
Security Concerns – The lack of a secure environment can cause cyber threats resulting in the risk of confidential information being breached. The solution to this obstacle is to arrange a reliable monitoring system to identify threats. One should put on limits for amount of sensitive data in the code. So, these are some of the common challenges faced by individuals while working with DevOps.
The top 8 DevOps trends in 2024
Let’s check out the top trends of DevOps one should look for in 2024.
1. Cloud-native Technology – Cloud-native technology presents a new approach to designing and deploying software that relies on microservices, containers, and immutable infrastructure. This modern approach proffers many benefits to DevOps professionals. By opting for DevOps strategies clients can deploy apps with a scalable and reliable approach at a minimal timescale.
2. Microservices Architecture – In this architecture, the app is broken down into smaller pieces which are referred to as microservices that can be developed and deployed independently. With this approach, feature additional can be smooth without interrupting the entire application. Hence, we can say DevOps and Microservice architecture complement each other to create a more agile and flexible approach to deployment and development procedures.
3. AI and ML – AI and ML are now responsible for driving growth in DevOps where data processing and infrastructure management issues can be addressed. From automating repetitive tasks to analytics, AI and ML play a vital role in improving the overall development environment. The potential use of AI and ML is vast from automated testing to intelligent monitoring, etc. AI and ML make a great shift towards advanced approaches in DevOps.
4. Low-Code Application – The trend of low-code app development also seems to impact the future of DevOps. These apps are built without any coding and customization can be made with drag-and-drop tools. With this trend, organizations can achieve speedy results and even benefits to reduce the cost of development by eliminating the need to develop an app from scratch.
5. CI/CD and Automation – For custom software development, clients may use some leading tools such as Azure DevOps to set up continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines. This way, clients can automate development and deployment tasks and get results faster with fewer human errors. The intent of using Azure CICD pipeline services is to improve workflow by implementing collaboration between developers and the operational team.
6. Kubernetes – Here is a leading container orchestration engine that helps to manage containerized environments. In one survey, it was displayed that Kubernetes was the preferred choice for organizations to deploy and manage containerized environments. It possesses functionalities like the ease of source control, reuse of code across the system, automated scaling, etc. Moreover, it proffers flexibility for organizations to integrate Kubernetes with DevOps to gain the best output.
7. Hybrid Cloud Environment – A Hybrid Cloud Environment has become a valuable solution for those looking to balance the flexibility of public clouds and private clouds. The hybrid cloud is useful for those organizations that have to deal with multiple workloads. This practice allows quick deployment and scaling of apps while also offering total control over security and compliance requirements. This approach deals with data sovereignty issues where sensitive data can be kept on-premises while other data or apps can be moved to the cloud.
8. DevSecOps – DevSecOps is an emerging trend aiming to integrate security layers into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle. With DevSecOps team can build secure apps that ensure data privacy and protect users’ data from malicious attacks. In short, DevSecOps fosters collaboration between IT, Businesses, and Security at its best so that sensitive data can be protected from getting exposed.
Conclusion
The world of DevOps is constantly influenced by emerging technology hence it makes it essential for businesses to adopt new tools and technology to embrace digital transformations. The future of DevOps looks promising as more and more organizations are adopting DevOps practices. DevOps pipelines are the key to disruption and cultural transformation in this modern era. So, it will be fair play for businesses and individuals to stay ahead of the curve with the DevOps trend.
