What Is Devops?
The word ‘DevOps’ comes from “Development” and “Operations”, it is the association
of the development and the operations team for faster production in an automated
and a repeatable way.
Innovative tools and the traditional development practices merge, making the teams
produce faster and effective results immediately.

The DevOps is a flexible regime. You will come across individuals who have no prior
experience in software programming; but are significantly efficient.
Well, despite that, here are some of the mistakes that every beginner DevOps
professional makes.

Creating Complexities
DevOps need to follow the less-is-more approach; simplicity is the key when it comes
to writing functions.
Writing long, complex functions might be tempting; but it is important to understand
that having smaller functions is easier. In case there is a need to debug the program,
organising well helps making the program coherent and clean.

Applying Automation At The Wrong Places
Transforming from a manual development to automation; requires a series of steps,
which is a lengthy process. One might end up automating the wrong modules of a
program.
Prioritising of different aspects such as the process duration, process completion
frequency etc is important.

Skipping Error Debugging
The debugging process is lengthy and requires a dedicated and planned time slot.
The usage of proper debugging tools or the Integrated Development Environment will
give you better insights into the debugging process.
However, skipping the whole process of debugging all together will expose the
program to a new world of problems; which will also result in failures.

The Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment Dilemma
Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment are recurring terms. Learn to
identify the difference between the two and start practising them accordingly.
Continuous Delivery refers to software that can be deployed to production any time
whereas Continuous Deployment refers to software that is deployed to production
without physical decisions being made regarding deployment.

Not Saving Work
Some programmers might believe that crashing rarely happens; but if it did, it will
mean that you lose out on some extensive work. Therefore to avoid such adverse
situations; building a habit of saving as one goes forward, is vital.

Why Should One Learn Devops?
Add value to your organization : Knowing various tools and technologies related to
DevOps will make you an individual with plentiful skill sets. It will also makes one
employable and valuable.
For growth : Exposure to a variety of tools used in each phase of the process helps
you to further gain knowledge of the multiple tools available.
Faster and Efficient Deliveries : Since DevOps is an amalgam of Continuous
Delivery and Continuous Deployment; organizations can grasp the behaviours quickly
and implement quickly.
Anyone can learn DevOps : Professionals from diverse background can learn
DevOps; you need not specifically have experience in the software field. A fresher
with basic knowledge of Linux can also learn DevOps!

Why Is Devops Used?
It allows team to Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery; which helps a
company launch their products faster.
DevOps provide with a reduced risk. It helps in the reduction of the bugs across the
lifecycle of a program.
DevOps uses the agile programming method; which refers to the breaking of the
larger code modules into small convenient modules.
Cost efficiency is maximum.
