Modern development and O&M

Development and O&M modernization can be implemented through DevOps practices. The following are some steps and implementation suggestions:

• Culture change: First, to modernize development and O&M, we need to build a culture that emphasizes cooperation and sharing in the organization. The development team and O&M team should trust and cooperate with each other to pursue system stability and continuous delivery.
• Automation: Automation is one of the core principles of DevOps. Automated tools and processes can reduce manual operations, decrease error risks, and improve efficiency. For example, use continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools to automatically build, test, and deploy applications.
• Infrastructure as code (IaC): Infrastructure configuration and management can be incorporated into the code base using an IaC approach. This ensures repeatability, versioning, and automated deployment of the infrastructure, improving the stability and reliability of the entire environment.
• Centralized log and monitoring: By centrally managing logs and monitoring data, you can learn about the system running status in real time and detect and rectify faults in a timely manner. Select appropriate log management and monitoring tools, and define key performance indicators (KPIs) and alarm rules for system availability and performance.
• Container-based and microservice-based architecture: Container-based technologies (such as Docker) and microservice-based architecture can be used to decouple and expand applications. This allows the development team to deploy, update, and maintain applications more flexibly, while improving scalability and resilience.
• Continuous learning and improvement: DevOps is a continuous evolution process. The team should continuously learn and improve the work process. Through continuous feedback, iteration, and improvement, the collaboration between development and O&M can be gradually optimized to improve the delivery speed and quality.

These are some key practices for modernizing development and operations. Note, however, that specific implementations may vary depending on the needs and status of the organization. It is recommended that the evaluation be performed based on the actual situation, and corresponding practices be gradually introduced and adjusted.
