DevOps in Practice for Education Management Information System at ECNU

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid development of the Internet, the education information systems have become more prevalent aligning with better management to produce better education. However, the limitations of prior education systems development are gradually exposed, which ignore the changing requirements, the high concurrency bottlenecks and lean development of education information systems. Therefore, we develop and build a novel education information system at ECNU based on DevOps and related techniques. This paper reveals the practice of DevOps for new education information system from four aspects: CI (Continuous Integration), CD (Continuous Deployment), log management, and code quality. Meanwhile, brief technical explanations include Git, Jenkins, Kubernetes, ELK, SonarQube, etc. Through our continuous engineering practice, the new education information system has been developed and implemented at ECNU. The DevOps practice for information system establishes that it is so convenient for developing, testing and release of education information systems, and it also improves reliability, availability and scalability of information platform especially considering the guarantee of efficiency.
