2022, tijer

Abstract

The deployment of 5G networks marks a significant milestone in telecommunications, offering enhanced connectivity, ultra-low latency, and massive data capacity to meet the demands of modern applications. However, the complexity and scale of 5G networks pose considerable challenges for network operators, necessitating efficient deployment and management strategies. DevOps, a set of practices that combine software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), has emerged as a powerful approach to enhance deployment efficiency through automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This abstract explores the application of DevOps tools in optimizing 5G network deployment, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and future directions of integrating DevOps in the telecom industry. DevOps is founded on principles such as automation, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), and real-time monitoring, all of which are crucial for managing the dynamic and complex nature of 5G networks. Automation reduces the need for manual intervention, minimizing human errors and speeding up deployment processes. CI/CD pipelines enable seamless integration and delivery of software updates, ensuring that network functions are always up-to-date and aligned with evolving standards. Real-time monitoring and feedback loops allow operators to quickly identify and resolve issues, maintaining optimal network performance. Future research and development efforts should focus on addressing these challenges by exploring the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to further enhance DevOps capabilities. Additionally, developing standardized frameworks and best practices for DevOps implementation in the telecom industry can facilitate smoother adoption and maximize the benefits of this approach. DevOps tools and practices have the potential to transform 5G network deployment by enhancing efficiency, reliability, and scalability. By automating key processes and fostering collaboration, DevOps enables network operators to meet the demands of modern telecommunications environments. As the industry continues to evolve, the integration of DevOps will play an increasingly vital role in ensuring the success of 5G deployments and beyond, paving the way for a more connected and agile future.

DevOps - A collaboration Of Developing & Deploying Software
International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology IJSRCSEIT

International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology, 2019

DevOps is the fuse of tasks performed by a company’s application development and systems operations teams. The team DevOps is being used in distinct ways. DevOps is a major innovation in Information System development. In its most broad definition, DevOps is an operational ideology that stimulate better communication between development and operations as more elements of operations become programmable. The DevOps approach seeks to meld application development and deployment into a more streamlined process that aligns development quality assurance (QA) and operations team efforts. This approach also shifts some of the operation team’s responsibilities back to the development team in order to facilitate continuous development, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous monitoring processes. The necessity for tearing down the silos between development and operations has been expedited by the need to release code faster and more often in order to help the organization respond in a more agile manner to changing business requirements. Other drivers for breaking down the silos include the increasing use of cloud computing and advances in software defined infrastructures, microservices, containers and automation.

From Theory to Practice: The Challenges of a DevOps Infrastructure as Code Implementation
Jonysberg Peixoto Quintino

Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Software Technologies, 2018

DevOps is a recent approach that intends to improve the collaboration between development and IT operations teams, in order to establish a continuous and efficient deployment process. Previous studies show that DevOps is based on dimensions, such as culture of collaboration, automation and monitoring. However, few studies discuss the current frameworks that support such dimensions, so that there is a lack in information that could assist development teams in deciding for the most adequate framework according to their needs. This work aims at presenting a practical DevOps implementation and analysing how the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes was automated. Our approach follows the principles of infrastructure as code, where a configuration platform-PowerShell DSC-was used to automatically define reliable environments for continuous software delivery. Then, we compare this approach with other alternative such as Chef and Puppet tools, stressing the features, advantages and challenges of each strategy. The lessons learned from this work are then used to create a more concrete set of practices that could assist the transition from traditional approaches to an automation process of continuous software delivery.

DevOps, a game-changing methodology that unites software development and IT operations, is now fundamental to the state of the art in software engineering. The backbone of this approach is something called a "DevOps pipeline," which consists of automated operations coordinating code integration, testing, deployment, and monitoring. The purpose of this research is to improve our knowledge of DevOps pipelines and make their deployment more efficient. The study begins out with a deep dive into DevOps's background, illuminating its relevance in boosting software delivery speeds and final product quality. Best practices and frequent issues related with DevOps pipelines are identified via a thorough examination of current literature and real-world case studies. Strategies for addressing security flaws, integration difficulties, and scalability problems are discussed, providing significant insights for developers and academics alike. The study also looks at how containerization, microservices design, and serverless computing are affecting the future of DevOps. It offers a prospective look at the development of DevOps principles by assessing their effect on pipeline productivity, resource use, and scalability. An improved DevOps pipeline is provided in practice to corroborate the theoretical conclusions.

DevOpSlang – Bridging the Gap between Development and Operations
Frank Leymann

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2014

DevOps is an emerging paradigm to eliminate the split and barrier between developers and operations personnel that traditionally exists in many enterprises today. The main promise of DevOps is to enable continuous delivery of software in order to enable fast and frequent releases. This enables quick responses to changing requirements of customers and thus may be a critical competitive advantage. In this work we propose a language called DevOpSlang in conjunction with a methodology to implement DevOps as an efficient means for collaboration and automation purposes. Efficient collaboration and automation are the key enablers to implement continuous delivery and thus to react to changing customer requirements quickly.

Juhoon Kim

2016

This report presents the results of the UNIFY Service Provider (SP)-DevOps activities. First, we present the final definition and assessment of the concept. SP-DevOps is realized by a combination of various functional components facilitating integrated service verification, efficient and programmable observability, and automated troubleshooting processes. Our assessment shows that SP-DevOps can help providers to reach a medium level of DevOps maturity and significant reduction in OPEX. Second, we focus on the evaluation of the proposed SP-DevOps components. The set of tools proposed supports ops and devs across all stages, with a focus on the deployment, operation and debugging phases, and allows to activate automated processes for operating NFV environments. Finally, we present use-cases and our demonstrators for selected process implementions, which allowed the functional validation of SP-DevOps.

Software Automation Enhancement through the Implementation of DevOps
Anirudh Mustyala

International Journal of Research Publication and Reviews

The DevOps paradigm for developing software unifies the activities of development, operations, and quality control. The primary objective of DevOps is to streamline the software development process through automation, while also emphasizing cloud security. DevOps gives a scope of instruments, like Git, Jenkins, Chef, and Selenium, to empower automation all through the whole software development lifecycle, including planning, building, integration, testing, and deploying. Microsoft Cloud Azure and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) are commonly used platforms for DevOps. By facilitating continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous testing, and release management, DevOps enables organizations to save time and resources while minimizing manual effort. Furthermore, real-time activity tracking by project participants allows them to bridge the gap between continuous integration and continuous delivery.

Report: DevOps Literature Review
Floris Erich

DevOps is a conceptual framework for reintegrating development and operations of Information Systems. We performed a Systematic Mapping Study to explore DevOps. 26 articles out of 139 were selected, studied and summarized. Based on this a concept table was constructed. We discov-ered that DevOps has not been adequately studied in scientific literature. There is relatively little research available on DevOps and the studies are often of low quality. We also found that DevOps is supported by a culture of collaboration, automation, measurement, information sharing and web service usage. DevOps benefits IS development and operations performance. It also has positive effects on web service development and quality assurance performance. Finally, our mapping study suggests that more research is needed to quantify these effects.

suneel prasad

AIP Conference Proceedings 2519, 030029 (2022), 2022

Abstract. DevOps- a portmanteau of development and operations that come together to improve the software quality as well as to speed up the software development with its continuous delivery to its clients and customers. DevOps, emerging as an attractive software development movement, appears to be well regarded, but it is proving difficult to adopt fully in reality. Therefore, this paper contributes to understanding DevOps and addressing its challenges and practices while considering the real-world scenarios where organizations implement DevOps to pace their productivity. This paper also proposes a model which shows the key contributors in DevOps and how they are used to achieve the desired outcomes. We have carried out an exploratory case study by understanding how businesses adopt DevOps in real life. A case study is considered an effective form of analysis for studying current trends within their real-life context. DevOps is commonly described as collaborative work done between development and operations team by continuous communication and cooperation as well as featuring a cross-functional team having a common goal to achieve. Keywords: DevOps, Agility, Automation, CI/CD, Testing, Integration, Deployment, Quality Assurance, Collaboration.

Service provider DevOps for large scale modern network services
Fritz-joachim Westphal

2015 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM), 2015

Network service providers are facing challenges for deploying new services mainly due to the growing complexity of software architecture and development process. Moreover, the recent architectural innovation of network systems such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-defined Networking (SDN), and Cloud computing increases the development and operation complexity yet again. One of the emerging solutions to this problem is a novel software development concept, namely DevOps, that is widely employed by major Internet software companies. Although the goals of DevOps in data centers are well-suited for the demands of agile service creation, additional requirements specific to the virtualized and software-defined network environment are important to be addressed from the perspective of modern network carriers. In this paper, we thoroughly debate DevOps requirements for developing a modern service creation platform by taking EU FP7 project UNIFY as a reference architecture and suggest the corresponding extensions of UNIFY interfaces that meet the discovered requirements.

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2019

DevOps shortly refers to the common intelligent practice of combining the Software Development and Operations to carry out certain set of tasks for automation of jobs. Methodologies in DevOps have become first choice for the system administrators to carry out operations [3]. Deployment of the Operating System, since a big task, can be carried out by many ways, like manual or an automated method [1]. Manual method is a time consuming and prone to errors whereas the automated method is much better in terms of management and repetition. This research paper covers the need of such Automated Deployment method including much needed tasks such as server and client side configurations, centralized monitoring, logging and software patch management. As as addition, the proposed network in itself is self healing at the Operating System level, without compromising security and removing corruption at libraries and binaries level.
