Containers have been solving real problems for IT operations teams. They are enabling faster deployment of applications, ease migration to the cloud, maximize scalability, reduce environment variables, improve code reusability, and a lot more. 

As cloud adoption becomes a widely accepted norm amongst organizations, effective management of the cloud infrastructure is now at the forefront. Efficient management of the cloud leads to holistic resource optimization and the option of keeping a close eye on cloud infrastructure spending.

The new norm of practicing DevOps has recorded success in streamlining and improving the deployment cycle. With benefits like automation, faster-time-of market & incident responses, DevOps has had a positive impact on the overall delivery of an application. 

The industry standard amongst IT and cloud computing-based organizations dictate the need for rapid testing, deployment, and scalability of applications. At the moment, the best option at the disposal of these companies is container orchestration. The most popular and sought-after container orchestration tool in the market today is the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). 

DataOps is a collection of methodologies that has been taking the data management domain by storm. As we know, DevOps is the natural result of applying lean principles such as broad focus and continuous improvement to application development and delivery. DataOps takes these principles and applies them to data science.

A world-renowned bank's CEO was recently quoted as saying that, while there are thousands of manual banks now, the future will see only a handful of digital banks. Along with the rest of the world's critical business sectors, an overwhelming number of banks are also shifting to virtual platforms. This migration is being orchestrated by some of the best DevOps resources that the global FinTech sector has to offer. 

Biotech and pharmaceutical companies are required to comply with regulations enforced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Among these regulations is the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) which governs the quality control of not just manufacturing practices and facilities but also the technology components of the drug production process.

It’s been more than a decade that DevOps as a practice has been bridging the gap between the development and operations teams. It’s breaking down the silos between the two and automating the delivery cycle. Just like we implement DevOps to the delivery pipeline (to deal with the varying development environment), it is time that we start doing the same for databases.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitization of business processes. While numerous tools supported rapid digitization, it somewhere impacted security, observability, traceability, and compliance of the digital solutions.

To understand event-driven automation we first need to define what is an event? As per the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), an event is a change of state that holds importance for the management of an IT service or other Configuration Item (CI).
