Any questions left?

01. What are the benefits of DevOps?

DevOps enables automation, more frequent and continuous deployment and testing. As a result, the team can ensure the quality of the project while still monitoring its performance and polishing it on the way.

Moreover, DevOps engineers follow specific principles which guarantee a philosophical and practical approach to every development project. These principles introduce seamless cooperation between development and operation and give responsibility for the results to every team member.

02. What are the principles of DevOps?

The role of DevOps is to establish efficiency and non-stop improvement while working on a project. To make sure that the work is done as required and customer needs are met, DevOps engineering is based on the following principles:

đźź Customer-centric approach

🟠End results is everyone’s responsibility

đźź Continuous improvement is a must

đźź Collaboration above all

đźź Automation for every process

03. What to consider when hiring a DevOps engineer?

When seeking DevOps consultancy, you need to pay attention to the portfolio of your team members, deep understanding of the latest trends, excellent knowledge of Linux servers, good communication and leadership skills.

Moreover, you can check for certifications that prove their expertise in using DevOps tools. For instance, you may need to make sure that your team has Azure DevOps certifications or AWS DevOps certifications to understand if they can work efficiently with your infrastructure.

04. Should I opt for on-premise or cloud DevOps?

Choosing whether you want to deploy your software in the cloud or on-premise totally depends on your business needs.

DevOps for a cloud guarantees better scalability, 24/7 access from anywhere, quick deployments, low energy cost, and predictable monthly payment to a cloud provider. On the other hand, you may face challenges with the customization and won’t be able to connect to your infrastructure if you don’t have access to the internet.

On-premise DevOps provides complete control over your hardware, access without an internet connection, and a one-time license payment. However, the challenges you can face with this approach are longer implementation, total responsibility for data backups, disaster recovery, and storage.
