Introducing Open DevOps Automation

Introducing Open DevOps Automation

You’ll receive a hundred different responses if you ask 100 development teams what tools they use to release software of DevOps automation since each team is different, each project is different, and tools change rapidly.

​

However, the desire to employ the best tool available—which is typically a competitive advantage—can result in an ever-expanding tool stack that is fragmented, challenging to set up and administer, and creates information silos. Companies have tried to consolidate all of their tools under one vendor or accepted an uncoordinated best-of-breed toolchain as a solution to these problems. As a result, teams end up settling on “good enough” tooling rather than innovative methods of operation as a result.
We think that each software team should select the best resources available without compromising the capacity to work together throughout the organization. Our strategy is open and integrated to allow teams to utilize the tools of their choice while ensuring that cooperation doesn’t slow down development.
Today, we’re introducing Open DevOps Automation, a Jira-based development experience that unites a varied toolchain into one seamless experience. Continue reading to find out how we’re giving software teams the freedom to choose the tools they want and work however they like while maintaining coordination.

A “You Build it, You Operate it” Team-Specific Toolchain – DevOps Automation

We’ve prepared the framework for teams creating and running their own services by combining Atlassian products and partner offers into a pre-configured Jira project dubbed “Open DevOps Automation,” which will help them begin shipping and operating software.

Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Opsgenie are the foundational components of the standard DevOps project. Teams can quickly switch to the tools they desire, such as GitLab or GitHub, with just one click.

“GitLab and Atlassian have a strong commitment to serving our users’ requirements. We’re pleased with the work we did to integrate GitLab with Jira. Without compromising visibility or the capacity for collaboration, our joint customers get the freedom to stay in the context and with the tool of their choice.

Open DevOps Automation’ Default Features.

Jira will serve as the foundation for all of our DevOps Automation solutions. Your developers enjoy writing code, but since the company must be involved in the development process, everyone is usually forced to use Jira by default.

That’s not the situation anymore. Developers and the company may concentrate on their work rather than manually updating Jira or frequently changing contexts.

Code in Jira: Bitbucket, GitLab, and GitHub Git repositories have been natively linked into Jira Software. When you submit a modification or merge a branch, just remember to include the Jira issue keys, and Jira will automatically update. To help all your stakeholders understand what your team is presently working on, Jira will automatically display repos on the Code page in order of the most recent change. When you incorporate the Jira issue key into your development activity, the Deployments tab will automatically fill with your deployments, making it apparent when and what value was delivered to consumers. This is compatible with all major CI/CD providers, including Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Circle CI, and J Frog.

Jira’s on-call:  schedule makes it simple to page the appropriate person via Opsgenie in case something goes wrong and someone has to be notified. This eliminates the need to find out who is on call.

Jira pages In DevOps, culture is equally as important as tools. Teams have access to tried-and-true templates for best practices like change management, runbooks, and post-incident reviews thanks to Confluence’s integration with Open DevOps Automation  

Cycle time trends: Since each task in Open DevOps is associated with a Jira issue, Jira can offer information on bottlenecks that enhance team productivity. Jira Service Management and Open DevOps can be combined with ease by teams who require more comprehensive service operations and support capabilities.

Develop and Adapt Open DevOps with our collaborators

There is no one DevOps toolchain that works for all teams since there is no one way to perform DevOps Automation. Our 2020 DevOps Automation Trends Survey revealed that respondents utilized an average of 10 tools to transfer an idea from development to production. We at Atlassian can vouch for this because we use a ton of products ourselves!
​
In Jira for Open DevOps, we already have connectors with top testing, security, feature flagging, and observability suppliers. Future milestones will include one-click connections to third-party applications, further simplifying the process of getting started with them.

Now that Atlassian Open DevOps has been released, it is not a compromise. While we take care of the complexities of integrating the tools teams want and making sure that workflows are optimized, teams can concentrate on providing value to their customers.
​
We’re interested in seeing how Open DevOps will be used, customized, and expanded by our clients. However, what excites us the most is what our customers will create using it.
