Why Automation is becoming core of every DevOps Strategy?

DevOps comprises of Development and operations which together increases the productivity and efficiency of the Business or Production. There was a time when things were done manually because a certain amount of data was available but now this era of data processing is based on big data, most of which are machine generated. Now if you take a look at modern software development then you will find that most of the preexisting code is machine generated which boosts the process of Development. 

 

Here comes the concept of Automation, when we are dealing with a series of tasks done a number of times for a data-set then such processes can be automated with the use of Automation tools. DevOps is all about increasing the productivity of an existing system and Automations helps very much in achieving that goal. 

 

In a DevOps Cycle it is classified into different phases such as Continuous Integration, Continuous testing, etc. And each phase can be Automated with tools to increase the efficiency and decrease the human effort so that the saved energy can be used in other areas. 

 

Automation is becoming core in IT industry because as programmers and Developers most people realize that doing the same task which you have done once again and again is nothing more than the waste of time meanwhile, they can use that effort to resolve other production issues and can have the bigger picture. So, it gives the Automation a very important part in DevOps Cycle. There is almost no DevOps system is possible without Automation today.
