What Is DevOps?

DevOps is a cultural and professional movement that stresses

communication, collaboration and integration between software

developers and IT operations professionals.

• Responds to accelerated demand for quality software products and services

• Acknowledges the interdependence of IT functions

• Recognizes the need for cultural improvements

• Supports and leverages agile, lean and ITSM practices

• Leverages the power of automation

7

DevOps’ Goals

• Better IT alignment and business responsiveness

• Faster, smaller, more frequent releases • Improved

– Flow of work across the IT value stream – Time to market – Quality of code, products and services – Productivity – Communication and collaboration

• Lower long-term costs DevOps does not have a single body of knowledge but is built upon best

practices in Agile, Lean, ITSM and Automation.

8

DevOps Increases Agility & Stability

• Organizations are more agile

– Code is shipped 30 times faster

– Deployments are completed 8000 times faster

Source: 2013 State of DevOps Report – Puppet Labs and IT Revolution Press

• Services are more reliable

– There are 50% fewer failures

– Service is restored 12 times faster

Organizations that implemented DevOps practices were up to five times more likely to be high performing.

DevOps Cannot Stand Alone

DevOps builds relevant

value streams by

leveraging and cross-

pollinating practices from

multiple frameworks.

DevOps & ITIL/ITSM

• DevOps does not define or (re)define ITSM processes

• DevOps creates a value stream of people, process and technology (sound familiar?)

• DevOps relies on processes and practices that underpin the entire service lifecycle (sound familiar?)

• DevOps takes ITIL/ITSM to the next level by instilling Agile and Lean thinking into the strategy, design/development, transition, operation and improvement of IT services

DevOps does not negate ITIL, it validates its necessity!

Agile + Lean + ITIL/ITSM + Culture + Automation = DevOps

The Agile Manifesto

Individuals

and interactions

Processes and tools

software

Comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration

Contract negotiations

Responding to change

Following a plan

While there is value in the items on the right,

we value the items on the left more.

First Steps

20

Increase ITSM Agility • Assess current agility (where is “just enough”?)

• Reduce handoffs and eliminate bottlenecks

• Simplify documentation

• Leverage new technologies and automation

• Eliminate rework and duplicate activities

• Capture information at the source

• Put an Ops person on a Scrum team

• Enable fast and frequent deployments

Avoid a one-size-fits-all approach to ITSM.

21

Maximize The Use of Models • Predefined procedures

– Steps to be taken

– Chronological order and dependencies

– Responsibilities

– Timescales and thresholds

– Escalation procedures

• Can be automated

Based on ITIL Text - ST 4.2.4.5

Examples

Release models

Test models

Incident models

Problem models

Request models
