What is DevOps and How its Different from AWS DevOps?

Introduction

Guys, today in this blog you will learn in detail about DevOps and AWS DevOps, so let’s know what is DevOps and AWS DevOps. DevOps is a term of the two words ‘development’ and ‘operations’. DevOps is not a technology, it is a combination of cultural, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services. As we know, AWS DevOps provides application developer teams with the means to efficiently implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). This enables them to securely store and version application source code, while automatically building, testing, and eventually deploying the application to either on-premises environments or to AWS.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a software development methodology where the Development team & Operations teamwork as together. After adopting DevOps, it helps to increase the speed of an organization to deliver applications and services. And it can be defined as the alignment of development and IT operations with better communication and collaboration. And those who are DevOps engineers use many tools for the development & operations processes so that our life becomes easy. These popular DevOps tools are- Docker, Git, SVN, Maven, Jenkins, Selenium, Kubernetes, Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, Nagios, Splunk, etc.

Here are the some Benefits of DevOps:-

  • DevOps ideology encourages a completely new way of thinking and decision-making.
  • DevOps certified professionals are among the highest-paid in the IT industry.
  • The market demand is increasing rapidly with its increased implementation worldwide.
  • It ideology promotes increased collaboration and communication between the operation and development teams.
  • You learn to work in a team consisting of cross-functional team members—QA, developers, operation engineers, and business analysts.

What is AWS?

AWS stands for Amazon Web Services, It is a cloud infrastructure, is an extensive, emerging cloud platform offered by Amazon that contains a combination of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings. Also, AWS can provide organizational tools including database storage, computing power, and content delivery services. It can be used to store crucial data.

Benefits after Grab AWS Certification:-

  • AWS certified professional is someone who can manage servers provided by amazon.
  • It is cloud storage is quite useful for organizations and it’s easily accessible too.
  • Design and deploy dynamic, scalable, highly available, and reliable cloud applications.
  • It is enables businesses to scale and grow with database storage, content delivery, compute power and other tools.

AWS Certified Developer Roles and Responsibilities:-

  1. Skills in write, correct and debug application code modules
  2. Knowledge of software development lifecycle for AWS cloud
  3. Ability to develop, deploy & debug AWS cloud applications
  4. Knowledge of software development lifecycle for AWS cloud
  5. Understanding of serverless applications and ability to write code for these applications.

What is AWS DevOps?

AWS DevOps is Amazon’s answer to implementing the DevOps philosophy using its cloud platform and dedicated tools and services. provides application developer teams with the means to efficiently implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). This enables them to securely store and version application source code, while automatically building, testing, and eventually deploying the application to either on-premises environments or to AWS.

Benefits of AWS DevOps:-

  • Develop, improve, and thoroughly document operational practices and procedures.
  • Develop and implement instrumentation for monitoring the health and availability of services including fault detection, alerting, triage, and recovery.
  • Work in conjunction with IT, engineering, and business groups to understand functionality, scalability, performance, security, and integration requirements.
  • Build solutions to problems that interrupt availability, performance, and stability in our systems, services, and products at scale.

Difference Between DevOps and AWS DevOps:-

DevOps is a software development methodology where the Development team & Operations team work as a together. After adopting DevOps, it helps to increase the speed of an organization to deliver applications and services. And it can be defined as the alignment of development and IT operations with better communication and collaboration.

Dashboard Solutions for CI/CD – DevOps

A dashboard is an interactive tool that aggregates all your data into a single view. Analytics from multiple sources are contained in one place, making it easier to assess your DevOps progress. CI/CD has many features which need to be incorporated in Dashboad such a data from Version Control tools, Build Matrix, Code Analysis Matrix, Code Coverage Matrix etc.  Having Centralized Dashboard help team and project to get the status of the activities in less time and increase productivity and less time in decision making.

OpenStack Dashboard
The OpenStack dashboard provides administrators and users a graphical interface to access, provision and automate cloud-based resources. The extensible design makes it easy to plug in and expose third party products and services, such as billing, monitoring and additional management tools. The dashboard is also brandable for service providers and other commercial vendors who want to make use of it.

The dashboard is just one way to interact with OpenStack resources. Developers can automate access or build tools to manage their resources using the native OpenStack API or the EC2 compatibility API.
Dashboard Capabilities

The dashboard is an extensible web app that allows cloud administrators and users to control their compute, storage and networking resources.
As a cloud administrator, the dashboard provides an overall view of the size and state of your cloud. You can create users and projects, assign users to projects and set limits on the resources for those projects.
The dashboard provides users a self-service portal to provision their own resources within the limits set by administrators.

Jenkins Dashboard View Plugins

This plugin contributes a new view implementation that provides a dashboard / portal-like view for Jenkins.You can add different portlets to your new dashboard with all sort of content in it.

Sonar Dashboard
Sonar dashboards are mostly based on PUSH mechanism, this is a step within maven which will push the details/results to the Sonar dashboard. This is best suited for build + unit test jobs.

  1. Sonar is more of an engineer’s dashboard.
  2. The level of granular details it provides is very useful for the engineer.
  3. Code coverage, Complexity etc which it reports are useful from the engineering point of view.
  4. Over all this gets good amount of data from once jenkins job is completed and pushed the data to sonar.
  5. The area where sonar lacks is that its not a useful tool for non-technical or management level crowd. The busy page with too much information will easily confuse a person who wants to look at the overall high level CI status.
  6. We need to have some level of instrumentation within our maven projects(POM) to get this integration going. At a high level we need to add a sonar:sonar goal from maven to push the results from jenkins->maven.
  7. This is more of a PUSH mechanism.

Configuration Manager 2007 Dashboard
The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Dashboard lets customers track application and operating system deployments, security updates, the health status of computers, and IT compliance with key regulations—with an easy to use, customizable Web interface. Because the Dashboard is built on Windows® SharePoint® Services, IT staff can access information without using the Configuration Manager console. The Dashboard is a free Solution Accelerator, and fully supported by Microsoft.

Key Benefits

Benefits of the dashboard include:

  1. Actionable information out of the box. The dashboard comes with valuable, built-in datasets that IT managers can access without using the Configuration Manager console.
  2. Centralized, near-real-time access to key information. The graphical dashboard lets customers view any Configuration Manager data set in near-real time—without leaving their desk.
  3. Easy to build and configure. The dashboard’s wizard-based tools let customers easily create new dashboards in minutes.
  4. Easy to customize. The dashboard can easily be customized to meet the needs of different departments and other groups. Any data set in the Configuration Manager database can be presented on the dashboard, in chart, gauge, and table formats.
  5. Flexible & interactive. Users can easily filter data and create ad hoc, custom views. Filters allow users to quickly drill down from high-level to more specific data.
