How we introduced DevOps at the province of Nova Scotia

DevOps is a collaborative practice that integrates development and operations teams to enhance communication and efficiency, as demonstrated by a case study from the Government of Nova Scotia. The Linux Ops team faced a challenge when asked to host a legacy Ruby application, requiring a decision between using an outdated RHEL 6 VM or containerizing the application as a proof of concept. Opting for containerization, they utilized Docker and GitLab CI to streamline the deployment process, allowing for automatic updates with minimal downtime. Through this process, the Ops and Dev teams collaboratively improved the application's code, such as removing hard-coded values and enhancing the security via automated scanning tools like Brakeman and Red Hat's atomic scanner. This DevOps initiative resulted in faster application delivery, reduced failure rates, and a shared understanding of the application architecture, setting a framework for future collaboration and technology improvements across government teams.
