Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of recording the desired state of your infrastructure using a declarative language. In this article, I’m going to assume that your team is starting from scratch. Maybe some of your build process has been scripted, and maybe there is some manual testing and quality assurance work happening. Many readers will find that they are midway through the IaC adoption journey I’ll describe, or that they have missed some steps.
For decades, the development and operations teams within companies were siloed. Developers created the software. Operations tested and deployed it. But in 2009, IT consultant Patrick Debois coined the term “DevOps,” a merging of development and operations to improve communications, establish best practices and create feedback loops for organizations to keep improving the overall process.
The AIOps market is growing wildly, and with that comes a plethora of AIOps solutions. Not all AIOps companies are created equal. We are here to help with our list of the top 10 innovative AIOps companies.
In my interactions at industry events like AWS re:invent and KubeCon, I talk with a lot of developers. Devs often tell stories of things that prevent them from working quickly and efficiently. Many involve frustrating interactions with sys admins, SREs, or DevOps colleagues. One story I have heard several times involves a conversation like this: dev: Hey, SRE team. My build is failing and I don’t know what’s happening with the app in the build node.
