Green DevOps
DevOps from a very long time is mitigating the fight between Dev and Ops, aiming to make a strong bond between the two hence the software development process can be as smooth as silk.
We have often seen this thing happening when your organization don’t practice DevOps,
When the blame game starts, the top management becomes sick and this makes a huge noise disturbing the other processes of software development and delaying the whole process.
But now, the things have changed, now you can know who did that mistake and remove the mistake there itself, that’s the beauty of adapting to CI/CD and automation. Manual things take time and are prone to mistakes whereas a proper CI/CD platform will never make such silly mistakes and hence choosing a proper CI/CD platform is also important.
