If you're a web developer, you've most likely heard about Git, GitHub, DevOps, and GitOps. While DevOps and GitOps are similar approaches to improving the software development process, GitOps is the more modern pathway used today. As companies grow and their software teams expand, they must control their software development while improving efficiency and workflow. But, getting down to brass tacks, what is GitOps really? Let's uncover all that is involved with it.

Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration server. It is a tool for continuously compiling and testing software projects. In the field of Continuous Integration (CI), the concepts from CI are combined with those from Continuous Delivery (CD) — also known as Continuous Deployment — in the CI/CD pipeline. See our The Best DevOps Tools for Infrastructure Automation for more information about this growth area in advanced software development techniques.

AlmaLinux is an open source operating system created by CloudLinux after the announced changes to CentOS. AlmaLinux serves as an alternative to CentOS with a similar structure. The objective remains a free Linux distribution that is binary compatible with the most recent release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

About GitHub gists

One of GitHub's most innovative features is Gist, which lets you store and distribute code snippets without setting up a full-fledged repository. Code strings, bash scripts, markdown, text files, and other small pieces of data are all acceptable alternatives to just code snippets. It can be used to quickly distribute a piece of code to others for anything like a demonstration, a how-to, or any solution without setting up a standard repository. Additionally, you can use it to embed elsewhere or on your website.

Git is a widely adopted, open source distributed version control system (VCS). It’s commonly used for source code management (SCM) with sites like GitHub and popular projects such as Perl, and Ruby on Rails. It is also used to maintain VCS and SCM for the Linux kernel.

What is Rust?

The Rust programming language is an open-source language used for systems that emphasize parallelism, speed, and memory safety. Mozilla developed it in 2010 and saw its initial 1.0 release in 2015.

What is Chef?

Chef is an open-source configuration management DevOps tool used for configuration and management of multiple systems in infrastructure. Using Chef, we can use so-called recipes and cookbooks to automate and speed up managing multiple systems in our environment. By using Chef, we can adjust every system in our environment to our desired state, which we defined using the code in recipes. In the process, code is continuously tested and deployed using Chef.

What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is an open-source software written in Java and Scala. This software allows users the ability to automate almost any task and, it saves significant time that can be better utilized addressing other issues. When automating tasks with Jenkins, users can optimize their workflow by quickly automating the jobs that servers cannot do themselves. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Jenkins on CentOS 8. We will also explore what its purpose is and share several benefits that Jenkins offers. We will then configure it to run on our CentOS 8 server.

In this tutorial, we explore the top five IDEs or Integrated Development Environments in demand today, and why most developers prefer them.
