The document provides an introduction to DevOps, including definitions of DevOps, the DevOps lifecycle, principles of DevOps, and why DevOps is needed. DevOps is a culture that promotes collaboration between development and operations teams to deploy code to production faster and more reliably through automation. The DevOps lifecycle includes development, testing, integration, deployment, and monitoring phases. Key principles are customer focus, shared responsibility, continuous improvement, automation, collaboration, and monitoring. DevOps aims to streamline software delivery, improve predictability, and reduce costs.
This document provides an introduction to DevOps including:
- A brief history of DevOps from 2007-2011 when the term was coined and practices began emerging.
- Definitions of DevOps focusing on bridging development and operations teams and delivering software faster.
- Why DevOps is used, particularly for large distributed applications, to increase delivery speed and reduce failures.
- Key DevOps principles of automation, continuous delivery, and measuring outcomes.
- Common DevOps practices like infrastructure as code, containerization, microservices, and cloud infrastructure.
DevOps is mainstream - at least the tools, the automation and the metrics. But what happened to DevOps Culture? Does it still matter? If yes - how do we achieve it?
This document discusses DevOps and the movement towards closer collaboration between development and operations teams. It advocates that operations work should start early in the development process, with developers and operations communicating about non-functional requirements, security, backups, monitoring and more. Both developers and operations staff should aim to automate infrastructure and deployments. The goal is reproducible, reliable deployments of applications and their supporting systems.

DevOps: A Culture Transformation, More than TechnologyCA Technologies
DevOps is not a new technology or a product. It's an approach or culture of SW development that seeks stability and performance at the same time that it speeds software deliveries to the business. We will discuss this cultural shift where development teams have to accept the feedback of operations teams and the operations team should be ready to accept frequent updates to the SW that it's running.

This document provides an introduction to DevOps fundamentals and principles. It discusses how DevOps aims to improve collaboration between development and operations teams. It notes that DevOps was being adopted more by development teams initially. It also highlights some of the business costs of bugs and issues in production environments, and how DevOps can help improve efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate business agility.
DevOps combines software development and IT operations to shorten the development lifecycle while allowing for frequent, close-aligned releases with business objectives. It uses toolchains across coding, building, testing, packaging, releasing, configuring, and monitoring. Key principles include incorporating business needs, decomposing user stories methodically, and using clouds to improve computing. DevOps emerged from agile methodology and blends development and operations roles. Career paths can begin as system administrators who gain programming skills or developers who learn operations processes.
DevOps is a software development method which is all about working together between Developers and IT Professionals. This presentation gives you an introduction to DevOps.

Patrick Debois coined the term "DevOps" in 2009 by combining "development" and "operations" to refer to a collaborative way for software teams to develop and deploy applications. DevOps stresses communication between developers and IT operations and utilizes automation. It involves planning, creating, verifying, packaging, releasing, configuring and monitoring software. While DevOps is a cultural practice, cloud computing utilizes remote servers accessed over the internet and DevOps principles support development and deployment in the cloud.
DevOps, sibling of Agile is born of the need to improve IT service delivery agility to the more stable environment.
DevOps movement emphasizes tearing the boundaries between makers (Development) & caretakers (Operations) of IT services/products.
DevOps is a software engineering culture and practice that aims to unify software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops) teams. The main goals of DevOps are to achieve shorter development cycles, increased deployment frequency, and more dependable releases that are closely aligned with business objectives. DevOps advocates for the automation and monitoring of all steps in the software development process, from integration and testing through release, deployment, and infrastructure management.
Learn how Azure DevOps has empowered Horizons LIMS to streamline their collaboration and CI / CD process to accelerate their enterprise digital transformation. You will also hear about the latest Azure DevOps features and how to integrate DevOps with GetHub, Jenkins, and leverage transformation workloads like Kubernetes and Microsoft Common Data Service to deliver products and services faster.
Most senior executives in large enterprises believe DevOps and CI/CD are interchangeable. If I have a CI/CD pipeline, I am “doing DevOps”, right? Not exactly. The dilemma that these executives have is that they don’t believe DevOps can be with the people they have. It can be done. I’ll show you how!
DevOps is a combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity. The DevOps lifecycle includes seven phases: continuous development, continuous integration, continuous testing, continuous delivery, continuous deployment, continuous monitoring, and continuous feedback. Continuous integration involves committing code changes frequently and building and testing the code continuously to identify problems early.
Patterns for Success: Lessons Learned When Adopting Enterprise DevOpsCognizant
The document discusses common reasons for failure of DevOps initiatives in large enterprises and provides recommendations for successful adoption of DevOps. Some key reasons for failure include lack of a common definition, organizational resistance to change, cultural issues, technology complexity, divergent tools used, architectural differences, and existing technical debt. The document recommends addressing these issues by having a well-defined plan, executive support, stakeholder buy-in, dedicated roles to lead the effort, a phased approach using pilots, automation, and objective metrics to track progress. Following these patterns can help large organizations successfully adopt DevOps.
PMI Thailand: DevOps / Roles of Project Manager (20-May-2020)Gonzague PATINIER
DevOps seems to be the latest ‘buzzword’ and trend in the IT industry. This is driven by business needs for ever-faster deployment of new functionality and frustrations with the time and effort it takes to get new systems into operations. It is no longer a question of ‘should we adopt DevOps’, but ‘when and how’?
DevOps represents a significant cultural and behavioral change and many organizations fail to address this in their adoption. Gartner defines DevOps as a change in IT culture, focusing on rapid IT service delivery through the adoption of agile, lean practices in the context of a system-oriented approach. These culture changes include organization changes, impacting structure, roles and responsibilities.
What and where is the role of the project manager in organizations that have transitioned towards adopting DevOPs? Join us and let’s discuss DevOps and answer your questions followed by an informative discussion.

DevOps has caught fire in the IT world in the last few years.
Not surprising as delivering faster has become a major
imperative especially with the increasingly digital world
and the convergence of internet, cloud, mobile, social and
analytics. Speed has become the new currency for IT
Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps TransformationsTasktop
IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company.
They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle.
In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.

Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

3. Let’s talk about a company you
might not think of as a tech
innovator
4. “Sysco, an acronym for Systems and Services
Company, is the world's largest broadline food
distributor; it has more than 600,000 clients in a wide
array of fields… The company operates
approximately 330 distribution facilities worldwide;
providing service to over 90 countries.”
Wikipedia · https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysco
5. Sysco was upgrading its ERP solution
• Standardize processes
• Improve operations
• Protect against outdated legacy systems
The project modernized hardware and infrastructure,
but stuck with existing ERP solutions
Tech Trends 2018 · Corless, de Villiers Garibaldi · Deloitte ·
https://deloitte.com/insights
6. A problem became apparent
12 upgraded operating
companies
• No significant
operating advantages
• Money already spent
60 non-upgraded
operating companies
• Should we spend
more?
Tech Trends 2018 · Corless, de Villiers Garibaldi · Deloitte ·
https://deloitte.com/insights
7. Another concern…
• Competitors were modernizing as well
• Spending less than Sysco
• Focusing on simplifying customer experience

23. Who in your organization
should be involved in
DevOps?
25. Specialists can help you adopt and learn
to improve DevOps practices, but can’t do
DevOps “for you”
26. “Up until 2015 the DevOps team at SEEK
assumed full responsibility for all builds,
deployments and operational support for
our Hirer and Candidate sites.”

34. If small teams provide autonomous support,
what would a specialist such as a DBA do?
• Tailor source control strategies for database code
to work best for the organization
• Automate testing and release of database code
with the right review and approval gates to produce
stable, safe deployments
35. If small teams provide autonomous support…
• Efficiently identify risky database changes which
require careful code review
• Quickly provision databases which mask or remove
sensitive data for new projects
• Optimize practices to reduce bugs and outages
caused by database code releases
37. DevOps involves everyone
Broad cultural change
• Break down silos: bring
Dev into Ops and Ops
into Dev
• Focus on continuous
delivery of value to end
users
Gain insights about end
users
• Marketing
• Sales
• Support
39. David Linwood’s “three lenses”
CEO
CIO / CTO
IT & Dev Managers / Team Leaders
The ROI of Database DevOps · Hilbert, Duggan, and Linwood ·
Redgate · https://rd.gt/2FHaUHD
40. Let’s oversimplify a bit
CEO - corporate vision, maximize value
CIO / CTO - strategic goals for IS
Managers - tactical approach
41. The CEO lens
• Lower cost
• Major failures are expensive
• Higher revenue
• Faster time to market than competitors
• Customer satisfaction
42. Why should CEOs invest in DevOps?
47% of CEOs reported to Gartner that they are
experiencing pressure from their board of directors to
transform their digital business
2017 CEO Survey · Kasey Panetta · Gartner
43. Why should CEOs invest in DevOps?
Building the right software helps companies gain
more market share than they can by mergers and
acquisitions
“Information Technology and Industry Concentration” · James
Bessen · Boston University School of Law · 2017
44. Why should CEOs invest in DevOps?
Software core to business operations does not “level
the playing field” between large and small firms. It
“tilts” the playing field in favor of those who use it
most effectively
“Information Technology and Industry Concentration” · James
Bessen · Boston University School of Law · 2017
46. The CIO lens
• Throughput of the department
• Ability to collaborate
• Quality of services to the customer
• How to hire and retain good staff
• Employee satisfaction
47. By 2020… “50% of the CIOs that
have not transformed their
capabilities will be displaced from
the digital leadership team.”
Gartner Predicts, 2016
Gartner Predicts · https://gtnr.it/2QTb40b
48. Why should CIOs invest in DevOps?
2017 Forrester Research survey
• 64% of respondents said their businesses are
dissatisfied with time to release new features to
customers
• Only 23% of enterprises are releasing at least
monthly
The Forrester Wave: Continuous Delivery and Release
Automation, Q3 2017
50. The manager lens
• Team performance
• Number and impact of defects
• Recovering from failure
• Minimize the impact of failure on
the customer and the team

52. Why should managers invest in DevOps?
• DevOps uses measurable global outcomes
• DevOps can advance the rate of these outcomes
by setting goals universal to all teams
• This tears down the “wall of confusion” epitomized
by dev teams being measured by throughput, IT
teams being measured by stability
Accelerate, Forsgren, Humble and Kim, 2018
53. How can your organization
start implementing DevOps?
54. “If you are currently testing the Agile-
DevOps waters, it’s time to wade in. Be
like the explorer who burned his boat so
that he couldn’t return to his familiar life.”
