DevOps with Pivotal@cote, Sep 2015

Conclusions We all want better designed, higher quality, resilient software, and we want it

as frequently as possible DevOps is part of the process - the goal of DevOps is facilitating a continuous

delivery process for your custom written software You get a platform either way, it’s just a matter of who has the responsibility to

maintain the platform A cloud native platform automates as much as possible and enforces a

process that removes variability leading to speed and resilience With Pivotal Cloud Foundry, “DevOps” occurs at the application layer (the most

valuable layer), while platform operations (a very small team) keeps the platform up and running

Technical Goals that lead to DevOps1. Delivering software that runs on the Internet (mobile, web, etc.)2. The pipeline is the factory, from concept, to code, to production3. Faster turns, while maintaining quality, uptime, performance

– Lean approach to entire process– Shorten time to customer value– Keep the site up, resilience vs. failure

Consequence: requires Development & Operations to combine

Sources: see The Practice of Cloud System Administration, chapter 8 for an in-depth definition and discussion. Also, see Damon Edward's 2012 piece "Use DevOps to Turn IT into a Strategic Weapon.” Also, The Phoenix Project for a story of DevOps in the style of The Goal.
