A survey of 185 software development professionals who have adopted the Argo continuous delivery (CD) platform finds that 97% are now using it in production environments, with 60% running Argo for more than two years.
Harnessing the Power of DevOps for Seamless Software Delivery
In today’s world of software development, continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery/deployment (CD), automated testing and infrastructure as a code (IaaC) are cornerstones of modern DevOps practices, ensuring rapid and reliable software delivery.
We Will Control the World!
Don MacVittie has one request for vendors: Don’t tell us how you can manage other vendors’ tools; tell us how you’re making it easier to manage yours.
Harness Acquires Armory Continuous Delivery Assets
Harness has acquired the assets of Armory, a provider of CD platforms based on the open source Spinnaker platform and a cloud service based on a proprietary platform.
Monitor Toolchain Health, Too
Tool everything, because the software delivery toolchain is now the core of application development and deployment, Don MacVittie advises.
Identify Needs First
In several projects of late, I have noted a trend in otherwise rockstar IT departments: They identify an area that they wish to implement or approve and then set out to address it. So, “We need a new CI tool,” spawns a project to choose and implement a new CI tool, for example. But there […]
Harnessing AI in Continuous Delivery and Deployment
In my recent article Revolutionizing the Nine Pillars of DevOps with AI-Engineered Tools, I explained that the continuous delivery pillar is an approach where code changes are automatically built, tested and prepared for release to production; this may be followed by continuous deployment where an approved release is automatically deployed to the production environment. The […]
Forget Change, Embrace Stability
DevOps is about change. It was introduced to accelerate change, and it has opened up a whole new world of tools and possibilities that are all based on the premise of changing IT. Starting with Agile, we now have DevOps variants and subprocesses that run the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) process. Want to […]
The Fallacy of Continuous Integration, Delivery and Testing
We know that continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) have become a DevOps best practice. And many have learned that by adding continuous testing (CT), they can create a virtuous loop, ensuring perpetual code quality and security. They’re not wrong. Yes, testing continuously is good practice, but some incorrectly equate the concept of continuous with […]
Raise Those (Feature) Flags
I’ve written about feature flags before, but I think it’s time for a solid bit of advice: “If you are not yet using feature flags for DevOps, it is past time to reconsider.” I say this because feature flags have been a slow-growth item, with a few spikes here and there in usage, but mostly […]
