DevOps tools assist organisations in overcoming several problems associated with implementing DevOps practises in real time. We have listed some of these tools that enhance  the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process.

1. Github

Github is widely regarded as one of the world’s largest and most advanced development platforms. On GitHub, millions of developers and businesses develop, deploy, and administer their software.

This distributed Source Code Management (SCM) solution is used to track changes in software development files and to effectively coordinate work among programmers. Its goal is to improve non-linear, distributed workflows’ speed, support, and data integrity.

Features

  • Collaborative Coding
  • Automation / CI & CD
  • Security including additional features for corporates
  • Project Management

2. Ansible

Ansible is a free and open-source DevOps solution for deployment, orchestration, and automation. While Ansible employs infrastructure as a code architecture, its push nodes are connected via SSH, making it agentless.

It simplifies software development automation throughout its entire lifecycle as one of the most well-known DevOps solutions on the market. Michel DeHaan built it in Python, Shell, Ruby, and PowerShell.
