Rethinking DevOps

An unusual series. Here's a theoretical approach to a new model you can adopt that simplifies how those DevOps tools we talk about can be made and managed by the DevOps community.

Ever since I started working with diverse web-apps at Linux Handbook and High On Cloud, the DevOps term has grabbed my attention many a time since that is something we specifically cover at Linux Handbook.

We've covered tutorials on many tools related to DevOps but we've never really tried to explore the actual concept in depth. Since Linux Handbook is dedicated to Linux Servers, we also need to explore their important role in the DevOps field.

But before we do so, it is essential to understand what DevOps really is. DevOps is an extremely popular buzzword and you will find multiple definitions of it across the web. But based on my own experiences, I have arrived at the following conclusive definition and thoughts henceforth. This is an attempt to revisit existing DevOps norms and rethink them in the form of a new model that I propose here.

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a continuous simplification process of maintaining a delicate balance among functionality, usability and security of an application both in terms of its Development and Operations.

How to ensure that?

Ensuring that an application evolves efficiently while also being operational is a continuous challenge for DevOps Engineers. To do that, the most fundamental components of DevOps need to be continuously monitored.
