1. Identifying the need for DevOps

Whoever is part of the decision-making process in an IT or non-IT company or any organization can be CEO, CIO, or anybody else. However, they should identify and recognize the need to implement DevOps in the IT activity and then arrange for needed finance and human resource.

2. Frame best DevOps strategy

It is crucial to frame a DevOps strategy that enhances team collaboration, suggesting new infrastructure provisioning opportunities and software development and testing. In this step, the IT manager of a particular company can set a common goal can form a team that will operate in a shared environment. How to provision infrastructure, automate the testing process, integration and deployment, all these things need to be decided here in this step.

3. Leverage the use of containerization

Containers are software packages that include all the elements to run independently. It gives software much-needed reliability and eliminates dependency. And this makes it possible to deploy any particular software to run consistently both on-site or on the cloud. Moreover, containerization simplifies build/test/deploy pipelines, part of DevOps, and it also provides a way to deploy an app faster and more secure. In a traditional environment, the software is often developed in a specific computing environment, and when it is tested in a new location, it often results in bugs and errors.

4. Use of CI/CD tools

CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous delivery. It is a modern-day software development practice in which code changes are made frequently and reliable. It will be delivered to production quickly and seamlessly as a part of the CD process. Using CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, CircleCI, TeamCity, or any other based on the requirement and infrastructure automation tools such as Kubernetes, Ansible and Chef, configuration and deployment concerns can be addressed smoothly.

5. More Test Automation and Application Performance Monitoring

An automation test is needed to achieve faster delivery cycles, and a functional test also depends mainly on the extent of test automation cases.
Application monitoring helps identify, detect, and isolate defects in the application and cause the same by using respective software.

To sum up, let us discuss some of the advantages that DevOps implementation can bring to the organization and help IT personnel work in harmony.
Firstly, it can reduce overall production costs to the organization. Secondly, it can improve the overall performance of a business product/output. And last but not the least, it can give a quality user experience when users test the final product.
