Dev Ops Introduction

What is DevOps?
• DevOps = development
& operations

• A Methodology of
Continuous Delivery

• A software development method

that stresses communication,
collaboration and integration
between development and IT
professionals.

• “Streamlining release process” .

1
The adoption of DevOps is driven by factors:

• Use of agile and other development

processes and methodologies

• Demand for an increased rate of production releases

from application and business unit stakeholders

• Wide availability of virtualized and cloud

infrastructure from internal and external providers

• Increased usage of data center automation

and configuration management tools

DevOps 3 Basic Principles

• System thinking

• Amplify feedback loops

• Culture of continual experiment and learning

2
How to Start Adopting DevOps?
• Start Small: Start from experiments
implementing small enhancements.

• Create Champions: Get executive

sponsors; Give credit to people.

• Build Confidence: Identify KPIs to

support the changes.

• Celebrate Success.

Supporting Tools
• Git,Gerrit,Jenkins,Zuul,Devstack
Gate,IRC bots,Puppet etc.

How can we get more specific about applying
DevOps principles for our own work?

Common goals of an enterprise DevOps practice

• Increased deployment frequency

• Reduced lead time for changes

• Faster recovery when problems occur

• More robust and better integrated security

• A shift in quality – quality of code, testing, architecture,

“deployability” and culture

• Fast feedback loops and effective communication between

teams and departments

One of the most important tools

of DevOps: Failure
Getting from: To:

Failure is not a cause for blame, it is a vehicle for

change, learning, and improvement.

How the DevOps Movement Took Place
• The origins of the DevOps movement took place
around 2009:
• 10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr

“presentation. ”
• “Infrastructure as code".

• The Lean Startup.

• Continuous Integration.

• Cloud and Platform as a Service (PaaS) technologies.

Delivery Challenges
• Today’s business and technical needs are pushing
traditional delivery approaches to the breaking point

• Technical Challenges:Scale Complexity Time Pressures

• Technical Trends: SoLoMo

 What is DevOps?
Take 2 of 3:
The fundamental principles of DevOps as generally agreed
upon by the most influential early members of the DevOps
community, were summed up in the acronym “CAMS.”

CAMS
• Culture
• Automation
• Measurement
• Sharing

Take 2 of 3:
Jez Humble later suggested adding an “L”
to the acronym, changing it to “CALMS.”
We endorse and encourage this addition!

 What is DevOps?
Take 3 of 3: “From the ah-ha to the ka-ching”

Concept / ideation
Value

DevOps is not about IT problems: DevOps is

about business problems.

What is DevOps?
Attribute Key Elements

High-trust, high- Unified mission; aligned incentives across departments and

performance culture teams; little fear/failure/blame, high quality of work life

IT capabilities = strategic
assets, not cost centers
Highly automated
processes; mature
deployment pipeline
Continuous delivery of
software and IT value
Commitment to
continuous learning
& improvement
Projects, features and work flow through fast cycles times,
systems are “anti-fragile,” IT processes & capabilities are aligned
with overarching organizational needs
Technical phases of projects supported by common tools and
automation processes, collaboration replaces handoffs,
codebase/IT infrastructure is agile and functional by default
Features, projects and IT work follow a regular, iterative flow.
Cycle time is short, workflow favors small frequent changes
Disciplined feedback loops quickly travel back upstream for
inclusion. Tools for monitoring, measurement and alerting
implemented & effective. Shared knowledge repositories.

Reduce Delivery Gaps
• Design and Deployment Planning
• Integrate and automate deployment planning processes
across development & operations
• Ensure asset & configuration details are shared and
synchronized across asset stores.
• Environment Setup, Testing,Deployment and Monitoring
• Leverage integrated tools for discovery & accelerating
provisioning of test lab & production environments.
• Improving test performance by replicating real world
environments - faster testing & problem resolution“ ”
• Issue Identification and Resolution Management
• Resolving problems quicker by sharing problem & ticket information
• Ensuring tracking tools for production problems and
application fixes remain synchronized
