In an earlier article, we explored the advantages of integrating OpsChain with GitHub Actions. Now, in this post, we provide step-by-step instructions on how to deploy a change from GitHub Actions using OpsChain.
Deploying cloud services in Azure is not a straightforward task. It calls for a nuanced balance between security, cost-effectiveness, and performance optimisation. But what if there were a tool designed to cut through this complexity, enabling rapid deployment without compromising on quality? This is where OpsChain enters the spotlight. In this article, we explore the key considerations for deploying services in Azure and reveal how OpsChain can turbocharge these operations.
In the rapidly evolving world of DevOps, automation and orchestration tools have proven instrumental in streamlining workflows and boosting productivity. GitHub Actions (GHA), over the past few years, has gained a dedicated following of users who have embraced it for its ease of adoption and tight integration with the GitHub ecosystem.
Despite its capabilities, there are several use cases that can pose challenges for organisations. In this situation, as with any tool, it's not about replacing what you've built but enhancing it. OpsChain excels on this principle, promising not a rip out and replace solution but a harmonious coexistence that amplifies the value of your existing GHA setup.
DevOps is a transformative approach that aims to unify development and operations teams, streamline processes, and enhance software delivery. However, the journey to DevOps nirvana is fraught with challenges. Sometimes, instead of reaching a state of continuous integration and delivery, organisations find themselves in what we like to call DevOps Hell.
In this article, we'll delve into the 7 signs that you're in DevOps Hell, why these issues are painful, and how OpsChain can be your guiding light out of the abyss.
Managing DevOps workflows can be a daunting task, and discovering a failed action after it has already caused disruptions is frustrating and costly in terms of time, resources, and business credibility.
In today's fast-paced DevOps environment, effective and efficient task management is the key to success. This blog post dives into two powerful tools within OpsChain, change logs and step logs, and explores how these features can streamline your operations, enhance transparency, and facilitate efficient troubleshooting.
In the ever-evolving world of information technology, change is the only constant. With the adoption of cloud technologies, containerisation, microservices, and more, the IT landscape has become a complex web of interdependent components.
Amidst this complexity, managing change across your IT environment effectively has emerged as a vital operational aspect. This is where the concept of unifying change comes into play. It is about creating a single, cohesive view of all changes happening in your IT landscape, regardless of the tools used or the teams involved. But why is this so important? Let's delve deeper.
In the fast-paced world of software development, DevOps has become one of the go-to methodologies for organisations looking to improve collaboration, streamline processes, and deliver high-quality products faster. However, amidst this drive for speed and efficiency, compliance and governance must not be overlooked.
This blog post will discuss the importance of compliance and governance in DevOps and provide practical tips for integrating these critical aspects into your development processes.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are crucial components of modern software development. The goal of CI/CD is to automate the software delivery process, ensuring that code changes are integrated, tested, and deployed quickly and efficiently. Toolchain orchestration is an important aspect of CI/CD that can help teams streamline and optimise the software delivery process.
In this blog post, we will explore what CI/CD is, why it's important, and how toolchain orchestration can assist in implementing an effective CI/CD pipeline.
IT Operations (ITOps) is the backbone of any organisation, responsible for ensuring that technology systems are up and running smoothly. However, with the increasing complexity of modern technology and the move towards cloud, containers, and microservices, managing change across multiple systems can become a daunting task.
Measuring performance is a critical aspect of any DevOps toolchain, but without proper monitoring and metrics, it can be difficult to understand the performance of the toolchain and identify bottlenecks.
DevOps teams face a variety of challenges when it comes to their toolchains.
Visibility and traceability are critical for any DevOps toolchain, but without proper visibility, it can be difficult to understand what's happening in the toolchain, leading to issues with reliability and security.
