This document discusses the concepts of devops and how to transition an organization to a devops model. Some key points:
- Devops aims to break down silos between development and operations through culture, automation, measurement, and sharing.
- Traditional organizations have opposing goals between dev and ops that cause issues. Devops promotes a cross-functional team approach.
- Automating builds, testing, deployments, infrastructure management reduces risk and improves collaboration.
- Monitoring and metrics should be built in from the start so teams can learn from data and continuously improve.
- Culture change can be difficult but focusing on mindset, collaboration and incremental goals can help transition teams.
