Accelerate Software Delivery Expanding collaboration to include customers, LOB and others to eliminate organization silos Balance speed, cost, quality and risk Automating manual processes across delivery lifecycle to eliminate waste/delays and compliance tracking Reduce time to customer feedback Enabling a customer feedback loop for continuous improvement

DevOps Lifecycle Operations/Production Development/Test Customers Business Owners

Continuous Innovation, Feedback and Improvements

Monitor and Optimize

So what is DevOps?

In short: –  DevOps exists to help the business win –  The foundations are found in Agile and Lean –  Culture is very important –  Feedback is fuel for innovation –  Automation helps –  The scope is broad, but centered on IT

Promote

Release (Deploy/Provision)

Development Testing Staging Production Business Owners Customers

•  Validate on more production-like conditions earlier

•  Automate hand-offs/promotions to increase velocity through the different stages

•  Standardization on processes and assets between Dev and Ops

•  Automated monitoring and dashboarding of quality and performance against service level agreements at multiple stages

Ensure applications are production-ready throughout the lifecycle and can be released at any time while minimizing rollback due to quality issues

A Continuous Delivery Pipeline


Balancing the Assembly Line

Equal process throughput avoids backlogs but can be too slow

Upgrading a proceeding process causes downstream backlogs

Upgrading downstream process throughput re-establishes balance

“The cost benefit to us of implementing UrbanCode was a reduction of 97% in the cost of a release. From an average of eight people working for 3 hours for every release, it’s now one person working 10 to 15 minutes.” ~ Enterprise architect, global specialist insurer

Investment $633,427

Savings & Benefits $3,687,066

Application Deployment vs. Environment Provisioning


What is a Pattern? - The pre-defined architecture of an application in a deployable form, resulting in repeatable deployment with full lifecycle management

Output of a process, such, as Dev Build

Configurations specific to Deployment definitions, SLAs

Environment

Application Configuration

Physical and Virtual Infrastructure

IaaS

PaaS 14

IBM leverages built-in patterns of expertise in our DevOps solutions to help ensure consistent and accurate application deployment and promotion


Weeks of manual effort & documentation and ongoing

maintenance

•  Less than 90 minutes to deploy IBM recommended highly available golden topology in a repeatable fashion

•  Ability to customize and extend the pattern •  Easier management and maintenance with ability to monitor and apply

maintenance at the pattern level vs. individual server instances
