DevOps Problems
There are some helpful check-ins that you can use to make sure that your DevOps isn’t running into problems. Monitor your server divergence. It’s a source of bugs and missteps that can harm the day-to-day operations of your company. Automation is the solution to most DevOps problems. With automation, you remove manual intervention (and possible human error). Change is often a problem for DevOps – if a version upgrade takes weeks of manual work, there’s something wrong.
