<strong>Popular</strong> <strong>Myths</strong> <strong>Pertaining</strong> To<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong><br />
Not many people know about this simple function called <strong>DevOps</strong>. There are<br />
many misconceptions attached <strong>to</strong> <strong>DevOps</strong>. Let’s understand what actually is<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong>, how does it work? We will also cast light on myths related <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>DevOps</strong> so that from now onwards, you will have some practical pointers <strong>to</strong><br />
discuss in your business meetings.<br />
What is <strong>DevOps</strong>?<br />
In simple language, Dev refers <strong>to</strong> development and Ops refers <strong>to</strong> operations<br />
related <strong>to</strong> IT environment management. It is a commitment <strong>to</strong> regulate<br />
both development and operations <strong>to</strong>wards the set of common goals. The<br />
main objective behind <strong>DevOps</strong> is <strong>to</strong> deliver continuous software <strong>to</strong> the clients<br />
without any kind of errors.
Process Of <strong>DevOps</strong><br />
Before explaining the myths, let’s understand the major three ways of<br />
<strong>DevOps</strong>: Flow; Feedback, and Observation<br />
1. Flow<br />
To accomplish progress in <strong>DevOps</strong>, the most important fac<strong>to</strong>r is Flow. To<br />
achieve continuous flow requires investment in <strong>to</strong>oling and au<strong>to</strong>mation.<br />
Other things <strong>to</strong> be done are fast-run of units test, a smattering of unit test,<br />
and lastly journey test. This whole setup is termed as “Testing Pyramid.”<br />
2. Feedback<br />
Good flow of the <strong>DevOps</strong> requires regular feedback. To move forward with<br />
the process, one thing is a must that there are no errors or problems in the<br />
work. Maybe the code must have some bugs or there are some serious
problems in the software which is degrading its performance. These things<br />
can be avoided in the early process. “Shift left” implies where the testing is<br />
done on a priority basis.<br />
3. Observation<br />
It is important <strong>to</strong> know that <strong>DevOps</strong> is not a destination and it is a constant<br />
refinement of the process <strong>to</strong>wards early delivery of the software. As more<br />
team members would be added, productivity will go up. Observation of the<br />
process can be done by having production analytics. It is <strong>to</strong> be done at<br />
periodic intervals.<br />
<strong>Myths</strong> Attached <strong>to</strong> <strong>DevOps</strong><br />
As we discussed earlier, there are lots of myths that are completely false<br />
and must get updated now!<br />
1. <strong>DevOps</strong> is a Role
<strong>DevOps</strong> can be practiced in an organization, can be taught <strong>to</strong> the team but<br />
one cannot higher professional only for <strong>DevOps</strong>. In simple words, <strong>DevOps</strong> is<br />
a function and it is not a duty or a designation.<br />
2. <strong>DevOps</strong> is Tooling<br />
Developers are often using several <strong>to</strong>ols and <strong>DevOps</strong> are considered as one<br />
of the <strong>to</strong>ols (myth). <strong>DevOps</strong> ideas are implemented in the work which<br />
includes both technical and non-technical aspects but it is basically not a<br />
<strong>to</strong>ol.<br />
Tools are those which are used in implementing the <strong>DevOps</strong>. There is<br />
infrastructure as code <strong>to</strong>ols that helps spinning up a new machine in clouds,<br />
and also there are various testing <strong>to</strong>ols that check the speed of the apps.<br />
3. <strong>DevOps</strong> Replaces Ops<br />
Implementing <strong>DevOps</strong> is not a critical task. You need a whole team with the<br />
knowledge of <strong>DevOps</strong> and functions related <strong>to</strong> other IT environment<br />
management <strong>to</strong>ols. Having comprehensive knowledge about operations<br />
and development is not possible so there will be a requirement of individuals<br />
with different specialties and interests.<br />
Everyone’s goal in the company must be thriving <strong>to</strong>wards faster delivery of<br />
high-quality software.<br />
4. <strong>DevOps</strong> is for Modern System<br />
Anyone who says that <strong>DevOps</strong> is only for the modern system needs <strong>to</strong> learn<br />
more about it. <strong>DevOps</strong> can be used in multi-platform by the whole team<br />
whether they are concerned with operations or development. There are no<br />
limitations in applying <strong>DevOps</strong> for a company, and there must be a<br />
simultaneous flow of work <strong>to</strong> undertake it.
Final Thought!<br />
So now you are well-aware of four myths which you have <strong>to</strong> avoid.<br />
Hopefully, now you are able <strong>to</strong> churn more pointers for your next discussion<br />
about <strong>DevOps</strong>.<br />
Every company can easily implement <strong>DevOps</strong> in enhancing their business.<br />
This will help them <strong>to</strong> win the trust of existing clients, resulting in more<br />
profits.<br />
If the <strong>DevOps</strong> is performed strategically, there would be no chance of errors<br />
and bugs in the software.<br />
