Devops In and Out

DevOps Journey

What is DevOps ?

DevOps is a software engineering culture and practice that aims to unify software development (Dev) and software Operation (Opps). It is a culture of collaboration between development and operational people.-

It is also important to understand what is NOT DevOps.

  • Set of Tools
    There is huge list of tools used in DevOps world, the list is exhaustive but are these tools DevOps , answer is no.
  • DevOps is a standard answer is no it is not a standard similar to ISO standards or a framework similar to ITIL , DevOps is just a cultural movement, designed to provide delivery and stability at the same time.
  • DevOps is not a product , it is just a culture that is practice by an entire organization that is performing software development / operation.
  • DevOps as a job title , yes though it is one of in demand jobs currently there is no such title as DevOps, it is simply a culture practiced by Developers and Operation teams to collaborate and any one with the right experience and knowledge can fit into this role.

DevOps culture change

In the past the developers and operational team were working in silos and each process follow in a serial fashion, this design was very successful in the past decade considering the size of the software and the complexity it brings. SDLC (software development life cycle) models such as WaterFall were used to create and maintain. In today’s 4G world software application are mostly mobile / web-based, updates are very frequent infact some are even updated daily or weekly, and that is where the challenge to manage both development and operation collide. Teams on either end would try to push ends to perform better, this is totally in contrast to the model followed in the past decade.

To overcome this challenge Development and Operation teams were merged a change in the team culture was brought in by applying agile principals to deliver short and fast updates / rollouts to the customer keeping in mind both speed of delivery and operational stability in mind.

Goals of a DevOps culture
  • Fast time-to-market (TTM)
  • Few production failures
  • Immediate recovery from failures

DevOps practices and tools

DevOps performs both Operational and Developer tasks , below are the list of practices that are considered part of Devops practices.

  • Build Automation
  • Continuous Integration
  • Continuous Deployment & Delivery
  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Configuration Management
  • Orchestration
  • Monitoring

manage docker images

docker add remove

Once you have installed docker its time to manage , pull , remove docker images.

What is an Image

Image is a file that comprise of multiple layers used to execute code in a docker. It is built from the instruction for a complete and executable version of an application.

Note it does rely on the OS kernel

There are more then 1500 images created by different application teams such as by apache , ngnix , mysql , mariadb , these are called official docker images. One of the biggest repositories for these official docker images is

https://hub.docker.com

.

Installing Images

Downloading and installing an image on docker in Linux is a very straight forward way with a single command,example ngnix

docker pull <package_name>

To pull a particular version of an image

docker pull <package_name>:package_version_detail

by default pull will grab the latest version of the package and same goes for removing the version with docker rmi <package_name>

To see all the images that are downloaded on your machine use the command

docker images 

To delete an image you can type

docker rmi <package_name>:package_version_details

if no package version details are added it will delete the latest version of the package.
