Modern DevOps combines automation, CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC), and operational discipline to make software delivery faster, more reliable, and easier to scale. Done well, it reduces manual work, improves deployment consistency, and gives engineering teams more time to focus on building and improving applications.
The articles below cover practical DevOps strategies, including CI/CD automation, deployment pipelines, IaC, cloud infrastructure automation, monitoring, container operations, and ways to reduce repetitive operational work across AWS environments.
Stratus10 helps organizations build and operate DevOps processes that are automated, repeatable, and easier to maintain as applications and engineering teams scale.
Seven technology leaders explain how they centralize AMI builds, manage versioning and patching, and control stale images across multi-account AWS environments.
Achievement demonstrates the San Diego-based company’s commitment to DevOps
SAN DIEGO, Calif., November 13, 2020 – Stratus10, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Consulting Partner, announced today that it has achieved the AWS DevOps Competency status.
It’s no secret that DevOps teams must be able to quickly and efficiently debug issues in their operational environments, and a key metric in the maturity and quality of the DevOps team is the time it takes them to identify and resolve production issues. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is a key component to this capability, and AWS X-Ray gives DevOps teams all of the features of a leading APM solution in an easy to implement managed service.
AWS OpsWorks is no longer supported as the service officially reached its end of life (EOL) on May 26, 2024, for both new and existing customers. AWS OpsWorks Stacks and AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate have been disabled, and customers can no longer access these services.
Automation tools are key for delivering on the philosophy of DevOps: better application and service delivery at high velocity without sacrificing performance. DevOps practices that leverage the latest automation tools and technologies also ensure that their engineering platforms and processes are in place to facilitate continuous delivery, integration, and improvement without sacrificing quality throughout the development process.
DevSecOps is the philosophy of integrating security practices within the DevOps process. Similar to DevOps, DevSecOps seeks to achieve greater efficiency and productivity through team collaboration, but the DevSecOps approach incorporates security principles.
Even for someone who works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on a daily basis, the pace and scale of new announcements coming from AWS can be daunting. For example, in 2016, AWS made 640 announcements covering a range of topics from price drops, new services, and even new features to existing services. We are only three-quarters of the way through 2017 and AWS has already exceeded that number and still going strong with re:Invent (Amazon's annual conference for all things AWS, with features keynote announcements, training and certification opportunities) still six weeks away.
