Introduction to Role of Virtualization in DevOps
The traditional software development process takes a long time to develop and deploy software. There is very less time to do testing, and manual testing becomes a long and tedious process with its issues. The quality of software could get compromised during this long process. It help with these problems. In this blog, let us start the basics.What is DevOps?
If you don’t know about it, then here is a short description of this emerging technology that has become an essential part of the software development process.Talk with our experts for assessment on Infrastructure Automation, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment and its Automation Strategy. Talk to our Expert, DevOps Strategy and Advisory Services
It is a set of practices, which automate the build, test and delivery processes making the processes faster and more reliable. It automates the processes between development and IT teams.

What is Virtualization?
It is the process of creating and running a virtual instance of something. In most of the cases, there is a layer of abstraction between the actual hardware and the virtual instance. That way, we can increase the capabilities of a system.What are the its various types?
There are different types of virtualization:- Hardware Virtualization:
- Network Virtualization:
- Desktop Virtualization:
- Storage Virtualization:
- Application Virtualization:
- Server Virtualization:
Role of Virtualization in DevOps
It plays a vital role in devops. It, automates various software development processes, including testing and delivery. With the help of it, the its teams can develop and test within virtual and simulated environments using similar devices and systems to the end-users. This way, the development and testing become more efficient and less time-consuming. Virtual live environments can also be provided to test the software at the deployment level. This helps in real-time testing, as the team can check the effect of every new change made to the software. By doing these tasks in virtualized environments, the amount of computing resources is reduced. This real-time testing helps in increasing the quality of the product. Working with a virtual environment reduces the time for retesting and rebuilding the software for production. Thus, it reduces the extra efforts for the devops team, while ensuring faster and reliable delivery.What are the benefits?
There are many perks of it, are below listed:- The workload is reduced
- Testing Environment
- Energy-saving
- Improving Hardware utilization
What are the challenges?
Despite having several perks, virtualization in it also have some challenges or limitations.- Time consumption
- Security risk
- Infrastructure knowledge
Conclusion
It allows the team to build, test and deploy software with virtualized environments, its team achieve more in less time. Continuous delivery/Deployment is possible by the versatility of virtualization and containerization technology that allows upgrades to be tested and distributed with improved reliability and accuracy on multiple servers.- Read More Six Steps to DevOps Cultural Transformation – The Strategy
