Job Description
A DevOps architecture refers to the framework or structure used to integrate development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams fostering collaboration and automating processes for continuous integration (CI) continuous delivery (CD) and faster more reliable software deployment. Below are the key components of a typical DevOps architecture:
1. Version Control System (VCS)
Tools: Git Bitbucket GitLab
Purpose: Source code management and version control to track changes made by developers.
2. Continuous Integration (CI)
Tools: Jenkins CircleCI Travis CI GitLab CI
Purpose: Automated testing and integration of code into a shared repository ensuring new changes are tested and integrated frequently.
3. Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD)
Tools: Jenkins GitLab CI Spinnaker ArgoCD
Purpose: Automated deployment of applications to different environments including production ensuring every change is deployable.
4. Configuration Management
Tools: Ansible Chef Puppet SaltStack
Purpose: Automating the configuration of servers and infrastructure ensuring consistency across environments.
5. Containerization
Tools: Docker Podman
Purpose: Packaging applications with all dependencies in lightweight containers to ensure consistency across different computing environments.
6. Orchestration
Tools: Kubernetes Docker Swarm Mesos
Purpose: Managing scheduling and scaling containerized applications in clusters of machines.
7. Cloud Infrastructure/Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Tools: Terraform AWS CloudFormation Azure ARM Google Cloud Deployment Manager
Purpose: Automating the provisioning and management of cloud infrastructure through code to ensure repeatability and scalability.
8. Monitoring and Logging
Tools: Prometheus Grafana ELK Stack (Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana) Splunk Datadog
Purpose: Realtime monitoring of application performance infrastructure health and logs to detect issues proactively.
9. Security Integration (DevSecOps)
Tools: Snyk OWASP ZAP Aqua Security Clair
Purpose: Integrating security practices in the development process to ensure vulnerabilities are caught and fixed early.
10. Collaboration and Communication
Tools: Jira Slack Confluence Microsoft Teams
Purpose: Facilitating seamless communication between development operations and other teams for tracking issues and project management.
Example Workflow
1. Code Commit Developer pushes code to a Git repository.
2. CI Pipeline Trigger Jenkins or GitLab CI automatically runs tests and builds the code.
3. Artifact Creation Docker container images are built and stored in a container registry (e.g. Docker Hub or AWS ECR).
4. CD Pipeline The deployment pipeline automatically deploys the containerized application to Kubernetes or another cloud environment.
5. Monitoring & Feedback Monitoring tools like Prometheus detect anomalies while logs from ELK Stack provide insights for debugging.
This architecture promotes the automation of everything concept reducing manual intervention and streamlining the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC).
