Scaling DevOps
What is DevOps?
DevOps is a way to release better software. It is not just technical tools or workflows. DevOps is also a cultural practice. DevOps produces better software, faster, by aligning development, staging, and deployment.
DevOps isn't one thing
While it is not a fixed methodology, automation and a collaborative culture are the foundation for accepted DevOps practices, which include:
- Measuring the things that have an impact on your organization’s goals
- Including all teams in the software delivery process from planning to production
- Automating the development pipeline and removing bottlenecks for faster delivery
DevOps culture and practices
DevOps culture and practices are key to aligning your software delivery cadence with your organization’s goals — and to organizational success. In this video, hear experts Jez Humble, Gene Kim, Peter Richards and Jeffrey Snover talk about how a DevOps approach affects your business; its relationship to Agile and lean management principles; and the revolutionary change it represents for both IT and business.
