DevOps is an iterative process that occurs throughout the product development process. In the usual DevOps process, there are various stages. The phases are listed below, along with descriptions of the intersection of development and operations and how they fit together in the DevOps model. Let’s have a look at each phase in detail. The “DevOps infinity loop” is a popular metaphor for this.
Plan: During this phase, the software will be planned. Data from software monitoring in operations can help impact planning, so there’s a connection between development and operations.
Code: The programme modules or functionalities are coded in this section. Different team members can work independently using version control systems such as Git, committing their modifications and submitting pull requests to the main branch.
Build: The software is turned into machine-readable instructions. Continuous integration servers make sure that the programme is always up to date with the latest commits.
Test: The testing phase is where the development and operations teams run manual and automated tests.
Release: The software is released into a pre-production environment during this phase.
Deploy: Deployment entails both the promotion of the software into the production environment and the setup of the software.
Operate: The operations team makes sure the programme is working properly in both functional and non-functional areas. Monitoring performance, adjusting for load, and making additional configuration adjustments are all part of this phase.
Monitor: Continuous monitoring aids the development team in anticipating future changes, such as bug repairs. It also serves as a starting point for the development team’s production configurations for future releases.
