In today’s fast-paced world, where technology touches every aspect of people’s lives, organizations have to work extra hard to meet expectations of their digital customers. DevOps offers organizations a new way to deliver better quality products at much faster pace to their customers.
What is DevOps?
Quick responsiveness to the user base is the objective of every software development shop, but this goal can strain functional teams within the organization. This results in more defects and consequent disruption to the team.
Moreover, the growing need for faster release of software products also demands reorganization and development of new skills in both the IT and the operations’ teams. This is necessary as speedy delivery enables organizations to serve their customers better and stay competitive in the market.
DevOps, the blend of two core areas of business IT- development and operations, promotes methods of integration, communication and collaboration between different departments of development and IT. This integration allows monitoring and testing of new code while the application is still being developed.
So in short, DevOps automates the manual process of software delivery and infrastructure changes to fasten the delivery cycles of the product.
Making the DevOps role easier – Plesk WebOps platform
In order for a DevOps structure to function, it needs WebOps. It is the web operations’ team that is tasked with the complete life cycle – deployment, operation, management, configuration, monitoring, tuning and security of web-based applications and systems. The WebOps ensures smooth and collective development process throughout an application’s lifetime.
It supports the application developers as it automates all the relevant processes and tasks. So your DevOps need powerful WebOps armed with all the necessary tools and languages that your need to work efficiently.
Plesk Onyx, the WebOps platform makes your DevOps journey smooth with the extensions which it offers.
Let’s dig deeper why Plesk Onyx is favored by DevOps teams worldwide:
1. Ready to code environment
Coding is what makes it possible to create computer software, apps and websites. A browser, OS, mobile app and the website – all involve coding. Programming in multiple languages can be challenging for developers, but Plesk Onyx makes it fun.
Plesk Onyx provides a ready to code environment and support for PHP versions, JavaScript frameworks, Perl, Ruby, Python, .Net, and Node.js. It also supports WordPress development environment.
Note – Plesk is the only OS agnostic WebOps platform with feature parity on 14 Linux distributions (including Ubuntu 16.04) and 4 Windows server versions (including 2016). Plesk is available on both -Linux and Windows web hosting.
2. Docker support
Docker is an open source platform that allows running of applications in containers. It enables developers to build applications in their desired way.
Learn how easy it is to manage Docker containers and run applications in it with Plesk Onyx.
To improve application development process, Docker offers some key tools for DevOps. It comes free with Plesk Onyx.
Docker’s development environment enables you to-
- Access (on demand) an array of technologies- as Redis, Mongodb, Memcached, and more.
- Upload a custom image or choose from a variety of available images.
- Deploy and manage new software products from Docker containers right from the Plesk panel.
3. Git support
Git makes deployment of websites easier. It offers productivity tools that build software faster; programming languages can be developed on GitHub; software development tools in GitHub help build apps faster, better and stronger. Also with its open source libraries, you can build serverless architecture.
Git and Plesk integration also helps you in-
- Easy deployment of website content by local Git repository or from a remote one.
- Choosing any software engineering service -GitHub, Travis, BitBucket, or any other.
- Creation of multiple branches in a single repository –to separate staging and production code.
- Manual or automatic deployment for saving time.
4. Infrastructure and server security
Web applications’ security is one of the most important concerns for developers.
Get security at different levels- Operating System, Network, Web Application and on Plesk.
Plesk offers pre-defined security pre-sets that help you install all your security needs just with a click, forget about configurations. Also you can update any of these pre-sets that’re available.
It also offers authentication methods, antispam and antivirus support, web server security and network security too.
So let Plesk Onyx address your security needs, while you relax.
These features above make Plesk the most favored WebOps platform by developers.
