DevOps

When you arrive at the office, you are greeted by your colleagues. You dock your laptop to the docking station and walk to the coffee machine for a cappuccino. Now you are ready to start your day! After the cappuccino, you are fully energized. Now it is time for the Daily Stand-up. Every morning, we discuss the status of the projects we are working on and discuss open tasks.

You open monitoring tools and check if all systems are healthy. You start with small requests from colleagues in the morning which they have requested on Slack or JIRA. Before you know it, it is lunchtime and together with your colleagues you take the time to enjoy our mutual lunch.

After lunch, you look at the larger items on the JIRA board. You architect new infrastructure in collaboration with your DevOps, Development, NetOps and TechOps colleagues based on the business requirements. The architecture is completed and you are ready to put it to the test. Test servers are ready to accept your ansible roles. Meanwhile, you keep an eye on monitoring and the health of the maintained systems. Something alerts! You talk to your DevOps colleagues to define out who is checking this alert. You are the one doing it this time. To stay focused you put on your headphones. You open the alert and identify what threshold was reached. MySQL load increased sporadically. The root-cause for this increase is important for you to guarantee the continuous health of the MySQL infrastructure. Did a Developer create a bad query or did a customer launch something related? After this event, you continue with the task you have been working on earlier.

After a successful day, you are closer towards the setup of new infrastructure, have made sure that the health of the infrastructure stays stable and it is time to go home.
