Hi experts<br />
<br />
Since I'm part of new team managing cloud projects (AWS)<br />
<br />
As part of DevOps, would like to introduce few automation which will streamline CICD<br />
<br />
My request is, could you please help me with some pointers, essential process, best practices, house keeping, monitoring automation (I know, its a wide topic) but even a link to a third-party would be very helpful. <br />
<br />
Basically below are the areas would like to get some help.<br />
<br />
GITHUB<br />
1. github on commit deployment to DEV or QA?. (we already have basic branching and release strategy)<br />
2. Housekeeping, deleting old branches<br />
3. Automated git commit report (generate release note from git code commit).<br />
<br />
<br />
Atlasian JIRA:<br />
1. Automation around JIRA<br />
2. Integration with github, confluence<br />
3. Essential alerts and report.<br />
<br />
Jenkins:<br />
1. On commit, reports etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
please let me know, if you want me to create individual question for each topic<br />
<br />
Thanks

DevOps General Guidance

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

DevOps is described as a movement working to optimize delivery and reliability by uniting development and operations. Using monitoring, configuration, and automation tools, DevOps culture promotes efficiency and allows for quicker continuous delivery cycles. Traditionally, these teams would work separately, but the DevOps mindset advocates for all processes to take place in alignment with each other.

DevOps

Git is a version control system for software development. It is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. Git was initially designed and developed for Linux kernel development. As with most other distributed version control systems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Developed by Atlassian, Inc., JIRA is a software tool for issue tracking and project management.

JIRA

Project management is the discipline of carefully projecting or planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.

Project Management

Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality management and documentation or administration systems.

Project Management Software

Quality assurance (QA) is a way of preventing mistakes or defects in products and systems, and avoiding problems when delivering solutions or services to customers. QA is applied to software to verify that features and functionality meet business objectives, and that code is relatively bug free prior to shipping or releasing new software products and versions. Quality assurance comprises administrative and procedural activities implemented in a quality system so that requirements and goals for a product, service or activity will be fulfilled. Two principles included in quality assurance are: "Fit for purpose" (the product should be suitable for the intended purpose); and "right first time" (mistakes should be eliminated).
