Periodic Table of DevOps Tools

 

See the table above! I stumbled upon this while researching tools! So many tools in DevOps, it is overwhelming to say the least! But we are getting a good amount of variety to choose from 

1. Open Source
    Easy to maintain and deploy. 

2. In house developed.
    More work needed, but can claim bragging rights.

3. Set of shell scripts.
    Needs regular tweaking and changes.

4. Off the shelf components.
   Cover licensing costs.

A typical DevOps environment will need at least one tool from each of these categories. Hence the complexity.

The categories are
1. Source Code Management (SCM)
2. Continuous Integration (CI)
3. Deployment
4. Cloud
5. BI
6. Database Monitoring
7. Repo Monitoring
8. Configuration
9. Provisioning
10. Release Management
11. Logging
12. Build
13. Testing
14. Containerization
15. Collaboration
16. Security

By far, containerization has helped the most to get the best tools at the same location with least effort.

Wagging your way out of the pandemic!

Image
  What an year that was 2020? 2021 whew! Glad we are still alive and well.  Come March 2021 and it will be an year of excruciating pain and mixed emotions for all the happenings through the year! First there was the pandemic announcement and then there is the Work From Home (WFH) change. That was a bigger problem than the pandemic. Having a timetable to walk through the day worked for some weeks, some weeks were completely ad-hoc! Having lunches and dinners took a different personality already! We started having lunches and dinners at different times based on the time we woke up and what each person was feeling on that day! Co-ordinating school schedules, class schedules for the kids and the elderly in the house is a job by itself. Having meetings when the kids are in school is a positive, however the kids lose out on the coaching from parents. We had zoom meetings crash in the middle of the meeting and the kids running all around, pets walking by the camera! We survived all t...

The conundrum of living a meaningful life

 The conundrum of living a meaningful life We are always striving to live a better life, serving a higher purpose in the process. Engineering and arts are very similar in their professions. There is always a chance of branching out in a new direction. You can carve your niche in different ways in both the fields. First there is the necessity to earn a living. If earning a living can also bring in fun that would be wonderful! But there are so many obstacles in that path. It is never too easy to walk on glass pieces with a smile! We have to pull our courage and strength together to get through this portion. Lots of management skills are developed as we try to balance the home and the work life and the process of earning a living and having it all! No wonder you see so many people having it all and pulling it through. Moving forward and pushing through all the obstacles is the only way out of this tunnel. But there is one sacrifice that people make in the process that is the happiness...

Responsive vs Reactive

Image
 What is the difference you may ask? But there is a huge difference. Responsiveness includes fore-thinking and planning for any such event that happens in the future. If a natural calamity happens and you have supplies ready that is responsiveness. Being responsive is a great trait for all the leaders to have in the face of calamity. You react first then provide appropriate response to the task in hand. Reactiveness is taking action after the event has happened. If a building collapses and then rescue team comes and helps the people that is reactiveness. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, the Newton's third law. If you react to all the actions that are happening around you, you will only be reacting and forget to take action. Same with life, taking action is important rather than reacting. Reaction is the first response to an event, but responsiveness is preparing for future events of the same type. Be reactive at first, but responsive in the long run!
