Introduction One of the SRE team’s goals at Moogsoft is to make sure our feature teams have an easy path from local code changes to production. Changes rolling out to production mean new features, bug fixes, optimizations, and more, which translates into value added for our customers. In short, at Moogsoft we are all about making sure our product is continually evolving, and one way the SRE group helps is by building shared Jenkins functionality our engineers understand and can use quickly.

Terms such as DevOps, Agile and LEAN are now used in a single bundle. If a project is created according to the LEAN methodology, all processes become more efficient with DevOps and Agile, making it possible to remain flexible and respond quickly to changes. In this article, we will share seven best practices you need to follow when adopting a DevOps model.

The traditional method of planning server, network, and storage capacity is to look at the usage peaks and then add a safety margin. Most cloud hosting is planned this way. The idea that you only pay for what you use is not based on actual usage, rather on the capacities you initially specify. Most cloud migrations involve a ‘lift and shift’ approach of moving an application to a different host with minimal maintenance.

In today’s ever-changing world of DevOps, it is essential to follow best practices. That goes for security, access control, resource limits, etc. One of the most important things in the world of DevOps is continuous integration and continuous delivery, or CI/CD. Continuous integration is a crucial part of an efficient deployment. We are all guilty of repeating manual steps over and over again – especially when it comes to node configuration.
