DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift

By: Tim Beattie, Mike Hepburn, Noel O'Connor, Donal Spring, Ilaria Doria

Overview of this book

DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift features many different real-world practices - some people-related, some process-related, some technology-related - to facilitate successful DevOps, and in turn OpenShift, adoption within your organization. It introduces many DevOps concepts and tools to connect culture and practice through a continuous loop of discovery, pivots, and delivery underpinned by a foundation of collaboration and software engineering. Containers and container-centric application lifecycle management are now an industry standard, and OpenShift has a leading position in a flourishing market of enterprise Kubernetes-based product offerings. DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift provides a roadmap for building empowered product teams within your organization. This guide brings together lean, agile, design thinking, DevOps, culture, facilitation, and hands-on technical enablement all in one book. Through a combination of real-world stories, a practical case study, facilitation guides, and technical implementation details, DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift provides tools and techniques to build a DevOps culture within your organization on Red Hat's OpenShift Container Platform.

They then progressed into the Options Pivot in Section 4, Prioritize It, before moving onto their first iteration of the Delivery Loop in Section 5, Deliver It.

We then dove deep into building applications with the PetBattle product team in Section 6, Build It, Run It, Own It.

In the last segment of the Mobius Loop journey, we return to the Options Pivot and ask ourselves what we learned from the Delivery Loop.

What should we do next? Should we go around the Delivery Loop again or should we return to the Discovery Loop? What about revisiting our options? These will be the questions we answer in Chapter...
