Foundation, Professional and Master Levels
The word DevOps is a
contraction of ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps is a set of
best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication
of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in
the lifecycle of applications and services, leading
to:
-
Continuous Integration: easy hand-off from Development to
Operations and Support
-
Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as
possible
-
Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all
lifecycle stages
The Concept - Successful DevOps is:
-
Having a blame-free culture of sharing stories & developing
empathy, enabling people and teams to practice their crafts in
effective & lasting ways
-
Providing applications and services for the business Just-in-Time
(JiT)
-
Ensuring continuity of IT services by a risk based approach of
business needs
- Managing the complete lifecycle of applications and services, including end-of-life conditions
