DevOps And Cloud Services FAQs

DevOps And Cloud Services FAQs

What are the main principles of DevOps?

DevOps is based on the idea of improved collaboration between development and operations teams, so much so that they virtually function as a single unit working towards common goals. With this improved and collaborative culture, the definition of DevOps extends to the following principles: • Collaborative effort • End-to-end responsibility • Continuous improvement with feedback loops • Automate wherever possible

Why is DevOps needed?

The digital landscape is constantly changing, with customer expectations evolving rapidly. To be able to not just survive but thrive in such challenging situations, DevOps has become the go-to strategy for organizations. The DevOps practices accelerate software delivery with CI/CD and enable organizations to update software at a much faster pace. Additionally, the software development life cycle contains fewer bugs and is more stable because of all the automation. DevOps practices also shift the focus from tools to people. This enables a productive and collaborative environment that reflects well at the end product.

How DevOps increase system security in an organization?

The primary reason for improved security with DevOps is the integration of tests to continuous deployment pipelines. Since DevOps is all about small incremental changes and all of those changes undergo rigorous testing, most of the errors and bugs get filtered at an early stage resulting in a more secure end product.

How to optimize cloud migration costs?

Due to the pay-per-use model of cloud computing, there are many ways to optimize costs. Starting with reducing unused instances, you can decrease the cost of computing resources. In addition, cloud providers like AWS offer the option of spot instances, reserved instances, and other such features that you can leverage to reduce the cost of computing resources. Data transfers are also a significant contributor to cloud costs which you can reduce through CDN (Content Delivery Network). Many cloud providers like AWS and Cloudflare offer CDNs for minimizing data transfer costs. Another way to optimize cloud costs is by ensuring the removal of unwanted files. Cloud architects can configure the rule of data deletion or migration between different types of storage through programming. For example, you can store active data in Azure Blob storage while programing data with frequent access errors stored in Azure Cold Blob storage. API calls are charged per object, and you can reduce the cost by using batch objects. In addition, it helps in decreasing API access costs. Another optimization that you can induce is by enabling auto-scaling of resources. With auto-scaling, you can save money on slow periods or days when there is lower traffic on your cloud apps. The cost of cloud-based applications depends on many different factors like deployment platforms, the volume of data traffic, infrastructure needs, and security measures. Any cloud application development cost will include costs like, • Storage costs:- The cost incurred by the Storage Area Network(SAN) or Network Attached Store(NAS) management and infrastructure support. • Network costs:- With the cloud, your application needs a reliable network with lower latencies, and there are costs attached to it. • Disaster recovery costs:- Most cloud services have in-built disaster recovery systems, so the cost on this aspect is low. • Datacenter costs:- It includes all the costs associated with data center operations like electricity, floor space, cooling, and others. • Platform costs:- It includes annual operating costs and environment maintenance of the application on a platform. • Software maintenance costs:- It includes annual maintenance costs for software which involve licensing, OS upgrades, and security measures. As cloud services offer a pay-per-use model, developing and deploying applications depends on the platform type. We offer cloud application development services to optimize these costs to fit your budget.

Why should we use or migrate to Kubernetes?

Developed by Google, Kubernetes is managed by the best developers around the world and is built to meet the scaling needs of any organization. It eliminates infrastructure lock-in and operates on private, public, or hybrid clouds and on-premise servers. Kubernetes facilitates horizontal scaling, orchestrated rolling updates, and canary deployments making development and operations more efficient.

Why do we need Cloud assessment services?

Cloud assessment can be the key to your success for your business if you are planning to migrate to the cloud or already on the cloud. Since each business has specific needs and goals, a generalized cloud deployment strategy won’t work the same for everyone. While it may lead to over expenditure for some, others might not be able to get the desired results. With proper cloud assessment you get a concrete idea of where the current infrastructure stands and can subsequently create the optimum blueprint for moving forward.

What is serverless application development?

Serverless is an approach that allows developers to build and run applications without managing the basic infrastructure. Although the term suggests development without servers, that’s not how it works. Servers are still required, but they are taken care of by an outside partner and not the development company itself. Since the backend is handled by a third-party, developers can solely focus on the frontend development. The cloud provider is responsible for provisioning, maintaining, and scaling the servers as and when required.

Is a microservices architecture suitable for startups?

Yes, startups can adopt a microservices architecture for their software development projects. For starters, it is ideal for scaling an application which can be a big plus for organizations with a growing user base. Additionally, microservices extensively leverage automation, DevOps tools and practices, and Cloud capabilities that make applications flexible and future-ready.

How long does it take to build a microservices architecture?

There is no fixed timeline for building a microservices architecture as it varies according to the needs of every organization. However, it largely depends on multiple factors such as team structure, size of the monolithic application, testing strategy, security vulnerabilities, databases, and more. A microservices architecture development company will consider these factors and accordingly plan a strategy for implementing microservices.

SEO is the practice of making changes to your online presence, particularly your website, making it more attractive to search engines like Google and Bing. Search engines crawl (or scan) your website to understand what it is about. The best SEO practices make sure it is easy for search engines to understand your website. SEO increases the quantity of organic website traffic and the quality of your site visitors at no additional cost. It doesn't include any paid media or placement and it excludes direct traffic. With a robust SEO strategy implemented on your website, Google will identify it as an authority site and point users in your site's direction.

It's advisable to employ an experienced SEO company or expert and this cost should be included in your marketing budget. The amount you should expect to pay is aligned to the scope of work needed to ensure success.

What affects your SEO ranking?

There are three factors that directly impact your SEO ranking, even if you’ve only implemented a very basic search strategy on your site. The factors to be aware of are: • Page Load Time: If your website loads too slowly your visitors will bounce and likely go to a competitor’s website. Google (and all search engines) will rank your website lower because of a slow page load time. This is something to pay close attention as we draw closer to the major update confirmed by Google. The Core Web Vitals update in March 2021 will focus on three aspects that directly and dramatically, impact user experience on your site. Page load time features in this update and is paramount to securing your ranking or reaching the top of the SERPs. • Keyword Selection: Your keywords must be carefully chosen so your website and pages are listed under the correct search terms your ideal customer is looking for. • Content Creation: If you create quality content on your website your audience will find your site quickly, easily and will stay on your site to learn more. This increases dwell time which boosts rankings on search engines.

How long does SEO take to integrate?

This is entirely dependent on your goals and the search campaign tactics you employ. Most SEO experts will estimate four to six months before you begin to see results. Bear in mind this is when you begin to see the results not when you achieve your identified goals.
