How to get started in DevOps

DevOps is a philosophy and approach that aims to bring development and operations together by automating manual processes and making them more self-service. To get started in Devops, developers should first understand the impact of their code on production environments using tools like Datadog or CloudWatch metrics. Next, they should automate operational tasks such as deployment processes through continuous integration servers like Circle CI or Jenkins. Developers can also create scripts to monitor the health of their code and roll back deployments if necessary. DevOps roles may vary from operations teams responsible for on-call duties to platform teams that create self-service applications for developers. Understanding the target environment, such as cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, is crucial when dealing with microservices and adopting a cattle approach to server management.
