Hey All! This is Ashlee, a passionate Front-end Developer. In this blog, I give an introduction to DevOps. Please go through it. I hope you all love it.

DevOps is a set of practices and tools organizations use to develop and deliver applications and services faster than usual. It aims at integrating the development and operations teams to enable rapid software delivery.

Using DevOps, software organizations can reduce development complexity, detect and resolve issues faster, and continuously deliver high-quality, innovative software. The ability to work at speed allows organizations to develop a much-needed competitive edge at the same time, serve their customers in a better way.

The two pillars of successful DevOps practice are continuous integration and continuous delivery.

Continuous Integration(CI)

With CI, the developers frequently integrate the codes into a shared repository. Rather than building features separately and submitting them at the end of the life cycle, they continuously integrate the code several times a day. The system starts the compilation process whenever the code is integrated and runs unit tests and other quality-related checks.

CI relies heavily on test suites and automated test execution. When done correctly, it enables developers to perform frequent and iterative builds and deal with bugs early in the lifecycle. This will ensure a better quality of the product that is delivered.

CI aims to simplify the integration process and easily repeatable everyday development tasks to reduce overall build costs and reveal defects early in the cycle. Since, in practice, a developer will often discover integration challenges between new and existing code only at the time of integration, if done early and often, conflicts will be easier to identify and less costly to solve.

Continuous Delivery(CD)

This aims to automate the software delivery process to enable easy and assured deployments into production —at any time. Furthermore, by using an automatic or manual trigger, CD ensures the frequent release of bug-free software into the production environment and hence into the hands of the customers.

CD executes a progressive set of test suites against every build and alerts the development team in case of a failure, rectifying it. In situations where there are no issues, CD sequentially conducts tests. The result is a deployable and verifiable build in an actual production environment.

The main goal of CD is to produce software in short cycles so that new features and changes can be quickly, safely, and reliably released at any time. In addition, since CD automates each step for build delivery, it minimizes the inherent friction points in the deployment or release processes. It ensures safe code release can be done at any moment.

I hope you all like it. This was a concise blog. See you all on the next blog.

Hey Everyone,

I'm Swetha. This is a short blog regarding Virtual Reality. Kindly go through it, and send me your feedback.

Virtual reality or VR is a technology that creates a virtual environment with scenes and objects that appear to be accurate, making the user feel immersed in them.

It is one of the technologies with high projected growth. It is a computer-generated simulation of an environment where people can interact seemingly naturally.

It uses various technologies to achieve this goal and is technically complex. It has to account for our perception and cognition. It has both entertainment and serious uses. The technology is beginning cheaper and more widespread. We can expect to see many more innovative services for technology in the future and perhaps a fundamental way in which we communicate and work thanks to the possibilities of virtual reality.

Purpose of Virtual Reality:

The goal of VR is to provide human beings with a virtual environment where we can interact with a computer just as we do in the real world, that is, by talking with a virtual human in a spoken language, writing a letter, or by drawing a picture.

VR Software

VR tech creates a completely 3-D environment; you can imagine the amount of software involved. VR software works with VR hardware to immerse the user into the virtual world. Developers also have to create interactive components within the environments that look and even feel like the real world.

VR can be used to build experiences for consumers to virtually test products, learn something new, or make something themselves. Believe it or not, there are even VR social platforms! Learn about the types of software required to create these user experiences, like VR content management systems, SDKs, etc.

There are three types of Virtual Reality:

Non-immersive

Semi-immersive

Fully-immersive Simulations

Advantages of Virtual Reality:

1. Virtual reality creates a realistic world.
2. Through virtual reality, users can experiment with an artificial environment:
3. It enables users to explore places.
4. Through Virtual Reality, users can experiment with an artificial environment.
5. Virtual reality makes education more accessible and comfortable.
6. Virtual creates a realistic world.

Thank you all! I hope you like the blog. See you all on the next one.

Hey all, this is a blog about cloud computing.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.

Types of Cloud Computing

Public cloud

The public cloud refers to the cloud computing model in which IT services are delivered via the internet. As the most popular model of cloud computing services, the public cloud offers vast choices in terms of solutions and computing resources to address the growing needs of organizations of all sizes and verticals.

Services on the public cloud may be free, freemium, or subscription-based, wherein you’re charged based on the computing resources you consume.

The cloud vendor is responsible for developing, managing, and maintaining the pool of computing resources shared between multiple tenants across the network.

Private cloud

The private cloud refers to any cloud solution dedicated for use by a single organization. You’re not sharing cloud computing resources with any other organization in the private cloud.

The data center resources may be located on-premise or operated by a third-party vendor off-site. The computing resources are isolated, delivered via a secure private network, and not shared with other customers.

The private cloud is customizable to meet the organization's unique business and security needs. With greater visibility and control into the infrastructure, organizations can operate compliance-sensitive IT workloads without compromising on the security and performance previously only achieved with dedicated on-premise data centers.

Hybrid cloud

The hybrid cloud is any cloud infrastructure environment that combines both public and private cloud solutions.

The resources are typically orchestrated as an integrated infrastructure environment. Apps and data workloads can share the resources between public and private cloud deployment based on corporate business and technical policies.

Types of Cloud Computing Services

Cloud computing can be separated into three general service delivery categories or forms of cloud computing:

IaaS (Infrastructure as Service)

This is the most common cloud computing service model as it offers the fundamental infrastructure of virtual servers, networks, operating systems, and data storage drives. This is ideal for small and medium-sized organizations looking for a cost-effective IT solution to support business growth. IaaS is a fully outsourced pay-for-use service available as a public, private or hybrid infrastructure.

PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service)

This is where cloud computing providers deploy infrastructure and software frameworks, but businesses can develop and run their applications. Web applications can be created quickly and easily via PaaS, and the service is flexible and robust. PaaS solutions are scalable and ideal for business environments where multiple developers are working on a single project. It is handy when an existing data source needs to be leveraged.

SaaS (Software as a Service)

This cloud computing solution involves deploying software over the internet to various businesses that pay via subscription or a pay-per-use model. As a result, it is a valuable tool for CRM and applications that need a lot of web or mobile access – such as mobile sales management software. In addition, SaaS is managed from a central location, so businesses don’t have to worry about maintaining it themselves, and it is ideal for short-term projects.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing can offer your business several advantages. First, it allows you to set up a virtual office with access to your tools and services anywhere and anytime, through a web-enabled device.

It can also help you:

*reduce hardware and software costs

*support more flexible working practices

*scale your IT systems

*reduce the need for in-house IT support

*access reliable and secure backup for your business data

Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Cloud Security and Data

Most cloud service providers implement relevant security standards and industry certifications to ensure their cloud environment remains safe. However, storing data and business-critical files in virtual data centers can expose you to risks.

Common risks are:

*data loss or theft

*data leakage

*account or service hijacking

insecure interfaces and APIs

denial of service attacks

technology vulnerabilities, especially in shared environments

Cloud providers can vary the data protection and security levels achieved and maintained. Therefore, choose your provider carefully and make sure that the provider is stable, reliable, reputable, and offers reasonable terms and conditions of service.

Cloud Computing Examples

• Software-as-a-Service (Saas): Salesforce.

• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Saas): DigitalOcean.

• Platform-as-a-Service (Saas): AWS.

• File Sharing + Data Storage: Dropbox.

• Big Data Analysis: Civis Analytics.

• Data Governance: Carbonite.

• Cybersecurity: Forcepoint.

• Communication: Skype, WhatsApp

• Business Process: ERP, CRM

Cloud Computing allows us to link anything virtually anymore. It opens up an entirely novel universe of opportunities in terms of careers, services, businesses, and marketplaces for the future of cloud computing. Companies need to leverage this technology and grow with it. The technology is both powerful and inspiring. In the long run, it is a cost-effective way of executing services for many businesses, both big and small. Since cloud computing enjoys a more significant scope, mainly in reachability, it is bound to have a great future. Both customers and the host service providers will reap benefits.

Thank you, Have a Productive day!

Hello everyone! In this blog, we will see a brief introduction to Microservices Architecture.

There is a lot of hype today about Microservices Architecture (Microservices). Being the preferred methodology in developing many-core applications, Microservices has grown in demand. So why exactly? Let’s take a look.

Before Microservices came Monolithic services in which all the software components of an application could be assembled and tightly packed into a single container, wherein only a single codebase is maintained for the entire application. This works fine for small applications. However, it becomes difficult to decipher the code when application requirements increase, and finding issues/faults tends to be tedious. Application scaling turns out to be challenging, and any further modifications impact the entire application as the services are tightly coupled. As the application complexity grows, the service startup takes more time. There is a drawback of not having an option to run only the specific required service, and the entire application needs to be rebooted.

Considering the difficulty in using Monolithic services for large and complex applications, the necessity for better architecture arose, and Microservices Architecture was introduced.

What are Microservices?

Microservices is an architectural pattern in which the applications are composed of small components, each component handling an individual function or service. These service modules are loosely coupled. They communicate with each other using well-defined interfaces. Since Microservices makes applications modular, it is easier to deploy changes without rebooting the entire system.

Some large-scale websites using Microservices Architecture are Netflix, Amazon, eBay, etc.

Microservices Advantages

• Each module handles a specific service, and all modules are loosely coupled. Hence changes made in one module will not affect others.

• Since services are isolated, individual resources can be allocated to each service. This will help its response time. Resources can be assigned as per requirements. More resources can be allotted to that service if a module is accessed frequently.

• Fault detection and correction are easier. Furthermore, since the system is modular if any feature is not working, only that particular module handling that feature needs to be changed, tested, and deployed.

• Each module can select its coding technology to be used. There is no codebase dependency on each other.

• Each service or module can have its database.

• Team management is easy. Small teams can work simultaneously on different modules. This leads to productive and faster development and deployment of the application.

• Since the data is not placed in a single place, development teams for each module can choose which data model they need to follow, and it does not affect other modules.

Microservices Challenges

• Different modules can be developed using other programming languages. Hence, skilled professionals with extensive knowledge in those specific languages will be required to monitor all these modules.

• Since the modules are developed independently, reproducing an issue will be difficult as the version of one or more modules might have already changed.

• Each service or module can have separate servers, making Microservices costly.

• As new services are added, the system becomes complex, and this may cause operational complexity during deployment.

• Each microservice is responsible for its data. Hence maintaining data consistency can be a challenge.

The above generic introduction, advantages, and challenges only form the tip of the iceberg, and there is a lot more to the Microservices Architecture story.

See you all in my next blog!
