XebiaLabs' New "DevOps as Code" Features Break Down Barriers for Dev TeamsXebiaLabs, the recognized leader in enterprise-class DevOps and Continuous Delivery software tools, today launched DevOps as Code features for the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform. DevOps as Code allows development teams to specify their end-to-end DevOps pipeline flows, infrastructure configurations, and deployment settings all in code that can easily be versioned and stored alongside application code. DevOps Processes Present Challenges for Developers Developers work in code and not in GUIs, so it's hard for them to connect to the entire DevOps process. DevOps as Code makes the software release process more useful for developers by exposing all of the DevOps processes, including environment, infrastructure, and pipeline information, in their preferred format-"code." As a result, development teams can manage these settings just as they manage application code: writing simple code in their usual editor, checking it into source control management, applying it as part of their Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines, and testing it with automated testing tools. XebiaLabs' latest DevOps as Code features include:
DevOps as Code Brings DevOps to Everyone Many developers use code-based tools such as Jenkins, Ansible, Puppet, and Chef for portions of the DevOps prcess that require advanced technical skills. With DevOps as Code, the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform offers a format that is ideal for developers. At the same time, it also includes an easy-to-use GUI that supports less technical team members who don't work as well in code-based tools. "Developers prefer working with code and don't like wasting time in GUIs. Even more, they hate being interrupted by status meetings and non-stop questions about where a feature is," said Andreas Prins, VP Product Development at XebiaLabs. "DevOps as Code lets developers create, manage, and update the DevOps pipeline using their code-based workflows and still apply strong mechanisms like branching and pull requests on the DevOps as Code items. And with XebiaLabs orchestrating and automating the pipeline, the entire business gets up-to-the-minute, detailed release information without meetings or interruptions, while developers keep on coding."
