EVALUATING DEVOPS TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFECTIVE CLOUD MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
DevOps, Cloud Management, Infrastructure As Code, CI/CD Pipelines, AI-driven AutomationAbstract
This paper explores the integration of DevOps practices with cloud management to enhance operational efficiency and agility in modern IT environments. It provides a comprehensive overview of key DevOps tools and technologies used for managing cloud infrastructure, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, CI/CD pipelines, configuration management solutions, and monitoring systems. A comparative analysis of prominent tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Jenkins, and Kubernetes highlights their strengths, limitations, and suitability for various use cases. The paper also addresses the challenges organizations face in adopting DevOps within cloud environments, including complexity, security, and integration issues, while offering best practices to overcome these obstacles. Furthermore, it examines emerging trends and innovations, including AI-driven automation, serverless computing, multi-cloud strategies, and edge computing, which are shaping the future of DevOps and cloud management. By providing insights into these advancements and their implications, the paper aims to guide organizations in optimizing their DevOps practices and leveraging cloud technologies to drive business success and maintain a competitive edge.
