According to the online data platform Statista, the DevOps skill demand by recruiters stands at 38%. DevOps is a collaboration between IT Operations and Development that enables automated and repeatable software development and deployment. An organization can provide software applications and services more quickly, thanks to DevOps.  

In short, DevOps is about meeting the increasing demand from software users for regular, cutting-edge feature updates and consistent performance and availability. 

5 tools for the different DevOps stages 

To handle the different needs of each crucial stage of the DevOps lifecycle, it is essential to choose the appropriate tools.  

For every project to be successful, it is essential to use appropriate DevOps toolkits that address the various stages of the DevOps lifecycle. Let’s talk about these tools in the order of the DevOps cycle phases. 

Plan

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Jira, Gradle 

With the help of Jira, development and operations teams may divide large projects into more digestible chunks for quicker deployments. It lets you absorb customer feedback and improve a product in response swiftly. The user-friendly interface of Jira enables you to manage dependencies, analyse changes and releases, pull requests, view progress, and more. 

Make sure the DevOps tools you choose (Jira, Confluence, Slack, etc.) support sprint planning, issue tracking, and collaboration.  

Build

This phase involves stages like: 

  • Production of identical environments for development. 
  • Infrastructure as code. 
  • Source control and collaborative coding. 

Production of identical environments for development 

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Kubernetes, Docker  

To benefit from the advantages of unique development environments, developers employ open-source tools like Kubernetes and Docker. These tools help you automate deployment, scale, and manage containerized applications. 

Infrastructure as a code 

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Ansible, Docker 

Infrastructure as a code is based on the theory that re-provisioning is faster, more dependable, and coherent than fixing. Tools like Ansible are designed to be very simple, reliable, and consistent for configuration management. It also lets you quickly and easily deploy multi-tier apps. 

Source control and collaborative coding 

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Github, Gitlab 

By keeping the code in distinct chains, source control tools enable you to view every variation. These tools also let you cooperate more effectively by sharing those variations or updates. Tools like GitHub provide access control and collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis. 

Continuous Integration and Deployment  

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline 

Continuous integration is the process of testing a new code as it is added to a common repository several times per day. By doing this, you can quickly identify any flaws or problems, repair them, and provide your users with a better product as soon as possible. Tools like Jenkins allow you to automatically apply your tests to development branches.  

Operate

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools: Splunk, DataDog 

Intermittent incidents/problems and software development projects tracked in various platforms hinders the communication between Dev and Ops more than anything. Tools like Splunk and DataDog keep incidents, modifications, issues, and software projects on the same page, allowing quicker and more efficient problem identification and resolution. 

Continuous feedback

HIGHLIGHT IN SOME COLOUR: Tools used: Pendo, GetFeedback 

NPS data, churn reports, bug reports, support tickets, and tweets are all collected and examined as part of the continuous feedback method. Everyone on the product team gets access to user comments in a DevOps methodology using tools like Pendo and GetFeedback since they enhance everything from release planning to probing testing sessions. 

Conclusion 

It takes research, trial and error to determine which DevOps tools are ideal for your particular needs. It ultimately depends on what you’re attempting to do and the resources you have at your disposal. Once your toolkit is in place, you’ll benefit from a more integrated development approach. Skillmine can help you streamline your DevOps process with the apt set of tools.
