What Is DevOps Benefits Measure Success Organizational Change

The application of

agile & lean

principles to

infrastructure

development &

management.

DevOps Is NOT A… DevOps IS…

Defining DevOps


The ability to deliver business

value faster.

DevOps IS…

To Simplify…


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


How Do We Know We Are Successful?“

”

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


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?


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.


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.


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.
