Infrastructure as Code (IaC) enables DevOps teams to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure by defining it in code. This leads to consistent, repeatable, and scalable infrastructure management, reducing human error and increasing efficiency.
Continuous integration (CI) encourages frequent merging of code changes into a shared repository, triggering automated tests to detect errors early. This leads to faster development cycles and higher quality code by catching issues early in the process.
A DevOps Leader is responsible for ensuring the deployment pipeline is automated to enable frequent, consistent releases. They must also work on continuously optimizing and scaling the pipeline to handle growing demands and new technologies.
Automation in DevOps spans the entire pipeline, from code integration and testing to deployment. A DevOps Leader should focus on automating as many steps as possible to reduce manual errors, increase efficiency, and ensure consistent and faster releases.
