6 common pitfalls for DevOps teams and how to avoid them
DevOps is a transformative practice—and not only because it helps to build better software. It also aligns teams, from IT to engineering to security, removing siloed workstreams and promoting collaboration. As great as this sounds, pulling together your DevOps processes and tools requires some practice to make your strategy perfect.
Defining DevOps: Build Your DevOps Practice on GitHub
GitHub is an integrated platform that takes companies from idea to planning to production, combining a focused developer experience with powerful, fully managed development, automation, and test infrastructure.
The enterprise guide to end-to-end CI/CD governance
A complete guide on how to build governance and security into enterprise CI/CD pipelines.
What is containerization?
When it’s successfully implemented, DevOps can transform software reliability by making the software development lifecycle (SDLC) more predictable through a combination of automation and cultural practices that favor deep collaboration and incremental releases. With less chance for variation, fewer code-related issues make it to production.
DevOps fundamentals: Defining DevOps principles
From headlines to job descriptions, DevOps has emerged as an outsized buzzword over the past decade—and for good reason. Organizations that successfully adopt DevOps often see big gains in software development speeds, improved reliability, faster product iterations, and have an easier time scaling their services.
The fundamentals of continuous deployment in DevOps
What is continuous deployment? Continuous deployment (CD) is an automated software release practice where code changes are deployed to different stages as they pass predefined tests. The goal of CD is to facilitate faster releases by using automation to help remove the need for human intervention as much as possible during the deployment process.
Should we think of DevOps as a methodology?
There’s one word that perfectly describes successful DevOps: flow. As individuals, we experience a state of flow when everything in our work comes together naturally and at the right time. DevOps enables that kind of flow at the organizational level through a combination of tooling, culture, and process.
What is the DevOps Model? Exploring foundational practices in DevOps
DevOps helps teams ship high-quality products faster by reducing the friction between writing, testing, and deploying code. GitHub offers a holistic platform designed to help organizations successfully adopt DevOps, making it easier to continuously ship and improve software.
What is a DevOps pipeline? A complete guide
A DevOps pipeline combines processes, tooling, and automation to enable organizations and software teams to build, test, and deliver high-quality software quickly to end users.
A guide to DevOps tools and DevOps automation toolchains
What are DevOps tools? As an umbrella term, DevOps tools include any number of applications that automate processes within the software development lifecycle (SDLC), improve organizational collaboration, and implement monitoring and alerts. Organizations will often invest in building out a "DevOps toolchain," or collection of tools to use in its DevOps practice, to address each stage of the SDLC.
DevOps monitoring tools: Automating your DevOps monitoring processes
At its core, DevOps is a fundamentally data-driven practice. The ability to continuously improve the code that drives a product comes from understanding how it performs, what risks it introduces, and where to find opportunities. Monitoring tools tap into each layer of a product’s technology stack to deliver the data to catch code errors early, improve operational efficiency, and respond rapidly to changes in usage.
Collaborating in DevOps Culture
Enterprises are learning that a large measure of success for adopting DevOps is the spirit of collaboration it instills among teams.
Six DevOps pitfalls for engineering leaders to avoid
DevOps can be a transformative practice for businesses of all sizes and types. Companies in almost every industry are using DevOps to give teams the time and freedom to tackle more challenging projects. As with all software development strategies, there are some shared pitfalls to watch out for.
GitHub and RStudio
This tutorial teaches you to create R Markdown documents with RStudio and publish them via GitHub, using GitHub Pages.
Increasing collaborative development with AI
Breaking down barriers to help internal development teams discover, understand, and reuse existing code—instead of building from scratch—is challenging.
