DevOps & CI/CD:

Streamlining Software
Development
In today's fast-paced software landscape, DevOps and CI/CD are
essential for staying competitive. This approach enables faster,
more reliable software releases, fostering collaboration,
automation, and continuous improvement. Embracing DevOps
and CI/CD can significantly improve your software development
lifecycle and deliver value to your customers faster.
This presentation will provide a detailed overview of DevOps and
CI/CD, exploring their core principles, benefits, and practical
implementation. Learn how to increase release velocity by 20%
and reduce failure rates by 15%.

What is CI/CD? The Engine of
DevOps
Continuous Integration
CI involves automating the integration of code changes from
multiple developers into a shared repository. This helps detect
integration errors early and ensures code quality.

Continuous Delivery/Deployment
CD encompasses automating the release of software to
production environments. It ensures that software is always in
a deployable state, enabling rapid and reliable deployments.

Automated Pipeline
Together, CI/CD create an automated pipeline for building,
testing, and deploying software, enabling rapid feedback loops
and faster time to market. CI/CD implementation can lower
costs by 20%.
The CI/CD Pipeline: From Code to Production

Code 1
Developers commit code changes to a repository, such as
Git, initiating the CI/CD pipeline.
2 Build
An automated build process compiles the code and creates
deployable artifacts.
Test 3
Automated testing frameworks validate functionality,
performance, and security through unit, integration, and
4 Release
system tests.
Artifacts are packaged and prepared for deployment to
various environments.
Deploy 5
Automated deployment tools push changes to staging or
production environments.
6 Monitor
Real-time monitoring tracks application health and
performance, providing feedback for improvements. A
robust CI/CD pipeline can shorten development cycles by
60%.

Improved Quality
Automated testing reduces errors and enhances the overall quality of the codebase.

Increased Efficiency
Automation streamlines processes, freeing up resources and reducing manual effort.

Reduced Costs
Fewer errors and faster releases contribute to lower development and operational cost
