DevOps: IT's Automation Revolution
DevOps aims to reduce conflict between development and operations teams through improved collaboration and automation. It advocates destroying stereotypes, involving both teams in strategy, instilling process discipline, and accelerating workflows with automation. Automation can perform tasks and connect processes to reduce complexity and accelerate application deployment. Successful DevOps requires open communication across the development lifecycle and treating releases as packaged transitions rather than individual components.

- 7. How can youreduce the conflict? An improved collaboration between Dev& Ops • Destroy the stereotypes! Get people talking! • App Dev and Operations CAN join forces • Involve both in the industrialization strategy • Instill discipline with flexible process • Accelerate with automation • Do it now or executives WILL take action
- 8. How to makeDevOps work • Talk! • Measure • Accept and hide complexity but don’t love it • Embrace process discipline across the lifecycle • Start with a common release management process • Automate release management execution • Inject rich feedback across the lifecycle • Change the incentives • Adapt the organization(s) • Measure
- 9. What is automation? Toolsthat perform functions otherwise done by humans Task Execution • Individual tasks • Repetitive tasks are candidates Process Flow • Connects tasks and decisions • Workload automation and RBA Decision Trigger • Analytics (not just monitoring) • When and why to take action
- 10. “Fast and Accurate”is not a paradox • “Process = Bureaucracy” is a misconception • Discipline becomes oppressive only if taken too far • Good process enhances agility • Automation further accelerates execution

- 12. The Typical LifeCycle Is Broken Ops App EA Dev QA Ops • One-way flow doesn’t allow for continual improvement • Information developed early is lost when given to Ops • Ops must resort to reverse engineering (a wasteful effort) • Release from App Dev to Operations is a huge problem • Thus, also a huge opportunity • Cultural barriers must fall but tools must also evolve • New tool developments are promising
- 13. Collaborate Across TheLife Cycle App EA Dev QA Ops Agile Process • Feedback makes it a true lifecycle with continual improvement • Automation based upon apps span the lifecycle • Apps become adaptive like infrastructure now is • Information is preserved and put to good use everywhere • A well-managed portfolio emerges from people communicating!

Summary Pursue DevOps automationto lead industrialized IT • Embrace the new reality of industrialized IT • Talk to each other! • Abandon the stereotypes of all parties • Abandon the love affair with complexity – your job is to simplify • Streamline the handoff from Dev to Ops (agile lifecycle) • Get serious about process discipline, but don’t go too far! • Institute systems engineering practices across the entire lifecycle
