Steps for Applying Automation in

DevOps
Author: Zayan Ahmed | Estimated Reading time: 4 mins

Automation makes our work faster and easier. In DevOps, automation helps teams build,
test, and deploy software quickly. Let’s learn the steps to apply automation, written in simple
words that even a 5th grader can understand.

Step 1: Understand What Needs to Be Automated


Think about what tasks are taking too long or are too boring to do every day. Write down
these tasks. Examples in DevOps might be:

●​ Testing code
●​ Moving code to the live website
●​ Checking for errors

Graph Example: Task List -> Pick Boring or Repeated Jobs -> Automate

Step 2: Pick the Right Tools


There are special tools to help with automation. Here are some examples:

●​ Jenkins for building and testing code


●​ Ansible for managing servers
●​ Docker for creating containers
Make sure you choose tools that match your needs.

Format Idea: Tool: Jenkins | Use: Build code and test it.

Step 3: Set Up Your Environment


Before you start automating, you need to set up your workspace. This means:

●​ Making sure all your computers, servers, and tools are ready.
●​ Creating folders and spaces to store your files.

Step 4: Write the Automation Scripts


Scripts are like step-by-step instructions for computers. Use the right language for the tool
you picked. For example:

●​ Jenkins uses Groovy scripts


●​ Ansible uses YAML files

Keep scripts simple and easy to read.

Graph Idea: • Write Instructions -> Test Them -> Fix Mistakes -> Save

Step 5: Test Your Automation


Once your scripts are ready, test them. Testing helps you catch problems. Run your
automation in a test environment first so it doesn’t mess up anything important.
Step 6: Start Using Automation
After testing, start using your automation scripts for real work. Make sure everything runs
smoothly. If you find issues, fix them.

Step 7: Keep Improving


Automation is not a one-time thing. Keep checking to see if you can:

●​ Make the scripts better.


●​ Automate more tasks.
