So what is DevOps?

In short:

- DevOps exists to help the business win

- The foundations are found in Agile and

Lean

- Culture is very important

- Feedback is fuel for innovation

- Automation helps

- The scope is broad,

but centered on IT

What is holding you back from delivering continuously?

Failures due to

inconsistent dev

and production

environments

Bottlenecks trying

to deliver more

frequent releases

to meet market

demands

Complex,

manual,

processes for

release lack

repeatability and

speed

Poor visibility into

dependencies

across releases,

resources, and

teams

How do we ensure that we release and deploy

What we want, When we want, Where we want!

Observations from a Release Manager at a major FSI

• Constant request from executives regarding status of a given

environment or region

• The answers were usually revealed through “detective work”!

• The those answers would need to be put into Powerpoint format for

the afternoon status meeting

• For weekend implementation events, the entire operation was run

by spreadsheets

• Since there were multiple lines of business involved, each LoB had

their own “control room” in different locations, so cross

communication was an issue between interdependent LoB control

rooms. This was addressed by conference calls.

What if professionals involved in software delivery could…

Take action on a deployment that has errors

by using their iPhone?

Visualize the software delivery pipeline in a

visual format?

Have a dashboard on their laptop of what

versions are in what environments / regions

Have real time status of a lower level

environment in the palm of their hand?

Fidelity Worldwide Investment embraces DevOps

Gainedmore predictable release

schedules for stakeholders

Achievedcost avoidance of more than

USD2.3 million per year

Improved the ability to demonstrate

compliance with regulations

The transformation: As it prepared to launch a critical new application, Fidelity Worldwide Investment wanted to replace its manual release processes with an automated release solution. The solution helped reduce the time required for software releases by 99 percent, from 2 - 3 days to just 1 - 2 hours. The company also achieved cost avoidance of more than USD2.3 million per year.

“Applications that took days to release now take just an hour.”—Tony Green, Technology, Architecture and Engineering,
