Overview
In the enterprise tech world, setting up software is like a symphony. Think of services as skilled dancers, environments as different stages in development, and infrastructure as the conductor making sure everything runs smoothly. It's like teamwork turning into a smooth tech performance.
Breaking Down the Essentials:
- Services: These are the individual components of software, each with a specific function such as handling data or managing user interactions as part of a deployable unit.
- Environments: Think of environments as dedicated spaces where the software is developed, tested, and refined. They can be linked to different stages in the software development process.
- Infrastructure: Infrastructure forms the backbone of deployment, encompassing servers, networks, and other foundational elements. It ensures the reliable and efficient operation of the software services ,where the services are deployed
- Overrides: Overrides provide a powerful mechanism for tailoring the configuration of services in a software deployment.
Unlocking the Power of Github
Understanding why storing in Github is like having a musical journal for your software journey. Github acts as the notes and melodies, documenting every change - a living record, much like watching your software symphony evolve from a raw draft to a spectacular performance. Imagine, just like replaying a favorite tune, these musical journeys similar to Harness entities in the Github repository can be revisited and referred, since these entities are persisted and available in a reliable, persistent store.
Storing your DevOps processes core elements – pipelines, templates, services, environments, and infrastructure, along with overrides – directly in Github is like adding a magic wand to your software orchestra, transforming teamwork into a smooth, coordinated dance.
