The Ultimate DevOps Toolkit
DevOps isn't a tool or a product. DevOps is a process and balanced organization approach for improving collaboration, communication among development and operation.
Redesigning and find new ways for faster and Reliable Delivery for accelerated time to market, improved manageability, better operational efficiency, and more time to focus on your core business goals.
Building Open-Source DevOps Toolchain
During Transformation Towards Agile & DevOps, DevOps needs a platform where we can define workflow with different Integrations. Implementing DevOps Culture into your workflow requires using of specialized tools.
Below is an outline of each key category of tools that need to be in your DevOps Toolkit, and the leading technologies to consider as you build the DevOps toolkit that best supports your team and your organization.
Source Code Management Tools
Everything we build can be expressed through code. But when everything is the code you need to be sure that you can control and perform branching on it – otherwise things could get chaotic. So to avoid that chaos we use SCM Tools that includes -
GitHub
- GitHub is a web-based Git or Version Control Repository
Gitlab
- Gitlab provided Git Repository Management, Code Review, Issue Tracking, Activity Feeds and Wikis.
Continuous Integration Tools
Continuous Integration is a fundamental best practice of modern Software Development. By Setting up an effective Continuous Integration environment, we can
-
Reduce Integration Issues
-
Improve Code Quality
-
Improve Communication and Collaboration between Team Members
-
Faster Releases
-
Less Bugs

Continuous Integration using Jenkins
- Jenkins is used as Continuous Integration Platform to merge code from individual developers into a single project, multiple times per day and test continuously to avoid any downstream problems.

Build Tools in DevOps
While building our organization, we have invested much of our time in research as which DevOps Tools we need to include in our DevOps toolkit and which not to. These decisions are based on our years of experience in IT industry. We've taken great care in selecting, benchmarking and continually improving our tools selection.
By sharing our Tools, we hope to foster a discussion within the DevOps community so that we can further improve.

Tools For Continuous Testing
To achieve the desired business goals of DevOps, you need to have an accurate, real-time measure of the risks and quality assurance of the features in your Delivery Pipeline and this can only be achieved through extensive and precise testing.

Artifacts Repository Management Tools
Now that your build pipeline consistently versions your Maven project, you need a place to store your objects which are being produced at the end of this pipeline. These artifacts need to be stored much the same way your source code is stored in your Source Code Management System.
This ensures access to previously released versions of your product. An Artifact Repository is designed to store your war/jar/ear/etc., and distribute it to fellow developers via Maven, Ivy, or the like, share your artifact with you deployment tools, and ensure an immutable history of your released products.
