OPENSTACK DEVOPS STACKS WITH AWS
The emergence of cloud computing in recent years has introduced a remarkable shift in the enterprise IT landscape. By reducing the amount of effort and time required to provision infrastructure and deploying applications and services, businesses have been able to accelerate development cycles to deliver products to market faster. With cloud technology now ubiquitous, affordable, and easily accessible, how can organisations extract even greater efficiency out of their IT processes and maintain competitive advantages over their rivals? DevOps could be the answer.
For over a decade, many industry leaders including Intel have collaborated to deliver advanced datacenter solutions based on Linux, virtualization, and more recently the OpenStack cloud operating environment. With a wealth of practical experience in large-scale infrastructure and software development best practices, these companies recognize distinct advantages of the DevOps approach and are committed to advocating and nurturing the growth of this IT methodology. But what is DevOps and how can organisation benefit by adopting it?
To put it simply, DevOps is the melding of the software development and system operations disciplines within IT teams in order to facilitate rapid, scalable application development and deployment.The term itself is relatively new, having being coined in 2009. However, many of the concepts and ideas it presents were born out of agile methodologies developed years earlier. Agile development focuses on product delivery through clearly defined feature development, quality testing, and maintenance processes. This philosophy helps break down traditional rivalries and boundaries between development and operations teams, and has largely driven the DevOps movement.
