Overview of this book

Digital transformation is the new paradigm in enterprises, but the big question remains: is the enterprise ready for transformation using native technology embedded in Agile/DevOps? With this book, you'll see how to design, implement, and integrate DevOps in the enterprise architecture while keeping the Ops team on board and remaining resilient. The focus of the book is not to introduce the hundreds of different tools that are available for implementing DevOps, but instead to show you how to create a successful DevOps architecture. This book provides an architectural overview of DevOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps – the three domains that drive and accelerate digital transformation. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this DevOps book will help you to successfully integrate DevOps into enterprise architecture. You'll learn what AIOps is and what value it can bring to an enterprise. Lastly, you will learn how to integrate security principles such as zero-trust and industry security frameworks into DevOps with DevSecOps. By the end of this DevOps book, you'll be able to develop robust DevOps architectures, know which toolsets you can use for your DevOps implementation, and have a deeper understanding of next-level DevOps by implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).

Defining governance in DevSecOps

So far, we have drafted a DevSecOps architecture, identified processes, and then aligned these with the business goals of the enterprise. The next step is to manage all this, and that's the subject of governance. DevSecOps is not just a PowerPoint presentation and a Visio diagram showing the CI/CD pipelines. An enterprise needs skilled staff to work with it and a governance model that describes the secured digital operating model. In this section, we will discuss this by using the IT4IT framework by The Open Group as a best practice.

In Chapter 6, Defining Operations in Architecture, we introduced value streams for products and described how IT creates value. The model can be seen in the following diagram:

Figure 14.1 – IT4IT value streams

In IT4IT, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a supporting activity for the four value streams. This means that GRC is fully embedded in every value stream. What does...
