Key Term Knowledge Base: Key Terms Related to DevOps Fundamentals
Understanding the key terms in DevOps is crucial for professionals involved in the integration of software development and IT operations. This knowledge helps in improving collaboration, efficiency, and the overall quality of software products. DevOps bridges the gap between developers and operations teams, enabling faster, more reliable software release cycles. Here are some essential terms in the field of DevOps:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| DevOps | A set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the system development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. |
| Continuous Integration (CI) | A software development practice where developers regularly merge their code changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests are run. |
| Continuous Delivery (CD) | A software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time. |
| Continuous Deployment | An extension of continuous delivery where every change that passes the automated tests is deployed to production automatically. |
| Infrastructure as Code (IaC) | A process for managing and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. |
| Release Management | The process of managing, planning, scheduling, and controlling a software build through different stages and environments, including testing and deploying software releases. |
| Source Control Management (SCM) | The management of changes to documents, computer programs, large websites, and other collections of information. |
| Pipeline | A set of automated processes allowing software developers and DevOps professionals to reliably and efficiently compile, build, and deploy their code to their production compute platforms. |
| Reliability Engineering | A field of engineering that deals with the study, evaluation, and life-cycle management of reliability: the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period. |
| Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) | A set of quantifiable measures that a company uses to gauge or compare performance in terms of meeting their strategic and operational goals. |
| Monitoring Applications | The process of continuously observing a software application’s performance, which helps in identifying issues and ensuring the system’s health and reliability. |
| Cloud Computing | The delivery of different services through the Internet, including data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software. |
| Automation | The technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human assistance. |
| Deployment | The process of making a software application or update available for use. |
| Containerization | A lightweight alternative to full machine virtualization that involves encapsulating an application in a container with its own operating environment. |
| Microservices | A style of software architecture that involves developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms. |
| Agile Methodology | An iterative approach to software development and project management that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. |
| Version Control | A system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that specific versions can be recalled later. |
| Configuration Management | The process of systematically handling changes to a system in a way that it maintains integrity over time. |
| Load Balancing | The process of distributing network or application traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server bears too much demand. |
These terms form the backbone of DevOps and are essential for anyone looking to understand or work in this rapidly evolving field.
