Please note the following
IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or
withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product
direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment,
promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information
about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The
development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our
products remains at our sole discretion.
Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM
benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any
user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations
such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration,
the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be
given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

Why DevOps?
Time to value
–Deploy faster. Deploy Often
–Reduce cost/time to deliver
Developer ‘Self-service’
–Allow Developers to Build and Test against ‘Production-like’ systems
Increase Quality
–Reduce cost/time to test
–Increase test coverage
Increase environment utilization
–Virtualize Dev and Test Environments

Why DevOps?
Deployment
–Minimize deployment related downtime
–Minimize roll-backs of deployed Apps
Defect Resolution
–Increase the ability to reproduce and fix defects
–Minimize ‘mean-time-to-resolution’ (MTTR)
–Reduce defect cycle time
Collaboration
–Reduce challenges related to Dev and Ops collaboration
–Dev vs. Ops

DevOps is a Philosophy

DevOps definitions
DevOps (a portmanteau of development and operations) is a
software development method that stresses communication,
collaboration and integration between software developers and
Information Technology(IT) professionals. DevOps is a response
to the interdependence of software development and IT
operations. It aims to help an organization rapidly produce
software products and services.
-- Wikipedia

DevOps definitions
…modern applications, running in the cloud, still need to be resilient
and fault tolerant, still need monitoring, still need to adapt to huge
swings in load, etc. But those features, formerly provided by the
IT/operations infrastructures, now need to be part of the application,
particularly in “platform as a service” environments. Operations doesn’t
go away, it becomes part of the development. And rather than envision
some sort of uber developer, who understands big data, web
performance optimization, application middleware, and fault tolerance
in a massively distributed environment, we need operations specialists
on the development teams. The infrastructure doesn’t go away – it
moves into the code; and the people responsible for the infrastructure,
the system administrators and corporate IT groups, evolve so that they
can write the code that maintains the infrastructure. Rather than being
isolated, they need to cooperate and collaborate with the developers
who create the applications. This is the movement informally known as
“DevOps.
-- Mike Loukides, VP, Content Strategy for O'Reilly Media, Inc.

DevOps Principles and Values (the IBM
view)
 Develop and test against a production-like
system
 Iterative and frequent deployments using
repeatable and reliable processes
 Continuously monitor and validate operational
quality characteristics
 Amplify feedback loops

DevOps Adoption
 Identify the Business Value
 Build a Business Case
 Create a DevOps Culture
 People – Processes – Tools
 Identify Capabilities to Adopt/Enhance

DevOps Adoption (1 of 2)
 Requirements Management
–Requirements Management and communication across Development and
Operations
 Versioning of all DevOps assets
–Versioning of Deployment Scripts and Source Code
 Access to Production-like Environments
–Documentation of Production-like environments as Patterns
–Developers have ability to launch and destroy production-like environments
from these patterns
 Deployment Automation
–Pattern based reusable deployment scripts
–Ability to deploy applications in One-step
–Daily deployment and verification of applications to a production-like
environment
Source: 12 Steps to Better DevOps – Michael Elder

DevOps Adoption (2 of 2)
 Change Management
–Linking bugs, issues and work items to application changes
–Linking production issues to associated deployment bugs
 Automated Testing
–Automated testing is used to validate application and platform function and
characteristics
 Monitoring
–Monitoring Deployed applications to validate performance and reliability
 Delivery Pipeline
–Having a dashboard to track application stages thru the delivery pipeline and
track deployment velocity
