DevOps Architecture and Workflow

DevOps emphasizes automation, continuous feedback, and shared responsibility across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

A typical DevOps workflow consists of the following stages:

Source Code Management (SCM)
Developers commit code to version control systems such as Git, GitHub, or GitLab.

Continuous Integration (CI)
CI tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD automatically build and test code with every commit, ensuring early detection of defects.

Continuous Delivery and Deployment (CD)
Applications are packaged and deployed automatically using pipelines that support staging and production environments.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Infrastructure is provisioned and managed using code with tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Ansible.

Monitoring and Logging
Systems are continuously monitored using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack to ensure performance, availability, and reliability.
