DevOps Is NOT A… DevOps IS…

Defining DevOps

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

The ability to deliver business

value faster.

DevOps IS…

To Simplify…

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

Why Should I Care About DevOps?“ ”

Digital business is essentially software, which means that organizations that expect to thrive in a digital environment must have an improved competence in software delivery. - Laurie Wurster, Research Director @ Gartner

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

How Do We Know We Are Successful?“

”

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Clark’s Third Law, Arthur C. Clarke

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

Measure What Matters Most

Deployment Frequency

Change Rate

Mean Time To Recovery

How fast can

we recover

from a failure?

Deployment Lead Time

How frequently

do we push to

production?

When we push

to production,

are we

successful?

How long does

it take us to get

a change into

production?

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

Three Ways

Systems Thinking

Systems Thinking: Emphasizes the

performance of the entire system, as

opposed to the performance of a

specific silo of work

Feedback Loops

Continued Education

Amplify Feedback Loops: The goal

when improving processes is to shorten

and amplify feedback loops so necessary

corrections can be continually made.

Culture of Continual Education &

Learning: Creating a culture that fosters

two things: continual experimentation,

taking risks and learning from failure;

and understanding that repetition and

practice is the prerequisite to mastery.

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

Magic Bullet

DevOps is a cultural shift and collaboration between

development, operations and testing. There is no single

DevOps tool, rather a set or “DevOps toolchain” consisting

of multiple tools.

What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

Tool Chain

• Code – Code development and review, continuous integration tools

• Build – Version control tools, code merging, build status

• Test – Test and results determine performance

• Package – Artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging

• Release – Change management, release approvals, release automation

• Configure – Infrastructure configuration and management, Infrastructure as Code tools

• Monitor – Applications performance monitoring, end user experience

Going From Theory to Practice

The Business ProblemDevelop a solution that provides a service catalog approach for the rapid

deployment of distinct web application platforms to support a multitude of vast and

highly fluid digital advertising campaigns.

Be able to leverage this same architecture for

future business workloads.
