DevOps Automation Best Practices and Tactics to Follow for Proven Success

DevOps automation is not just a lift and shift approach to transformation. It must be a well-defined collaborative strategy across all of the enterprise’s teams. Let’s take a look at the best DevOps automation tactics that every enterprise needs to adapt and implement to benefit from the DevOps journey.

1. Building a DevOps mindset

Organizations should adapt to DevOps as a culture and mindset shift and thereby enable positive collaboration among teams. Since DevOps requires Dev and Ops teams to combine, it could be a fairly new concept for many, and they would require more time to communicate better. With sufficient training and having an inbuilt DevOps mindset, many organizations have seen a sharp rise in deployments.

2. Automating with CI/CD

Automated building, testing, and deploying by CI (continuous integration) ensures the code changes are merged regularly into a repository using relevant DevOps tools. And CD (continuous delivery) helps the consistent and automated release of development code. Such incremental code changes and deployments make a crucial part of the DevOps model where applications are delivered on time.

3. Use of a microservices-based architecture

With the adoption of microservices to build applications, enterprises notice greater flexibility since a failure in a particular service would not impact the rest of the components. DevOps teams use this flexibility to their advantage as the use of microservices enables breaking down the applications into smaller, fully functioning parts that work efficiently independently of each other.

4. Prioritizing security

Along with DevOps adoption, having an additional layer of security or the DevSecOps approach solves security challenges that might exist in the DevOps model. Additionally, the DevOps team should be trained in testing and fixing any existing or potential security vulnerabilities within their processes at regular intervals.
