FOUNDATIONS OF DEVOPS AND GITHUB, KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

The following concepts were discussed in the two-day session on DevOps and Github:
DevOps is a collaboration between Development and IT Operations to make software production and Deployment in an automated & repeatable way.
DevOps helps increase the organization’s speed to deliver software applications and services
A DevOps Engineer is a professional who combines software development and operations expertise in order to streamline the software delivery process.
DevOps Engineers work to bridge the gap between development and operations teams, and are responsible for creating and implementing processes and tools that allow for continuous integration, testing, and deployment of software.
The main goal of a DevOps Engineer is to facilitate collaboration and communication between development and operations teams, in order to deliver high-quality software products more efficiently and effectively.
DevOps Engineers are also responsible for monitoring and maintaining the infrastructure that supports the software delivery process.
Git is an open-source distributed version control system.
Git is foundation of many services like GitHub and GitLab, but we can use Git without using any other Git services. Git can be used privately and publicly.
A version control application allows us to keep track of all the changes that we make in the files of our project.
Jenkins is a software that allows continuous integration. Jenkins will be installed on a server where the central build will take place.
Continuous Integration is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository at regular intervals.
Jenkins builds and tests our software projects which continuously making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build.
