DevOps Adoption Strategies: Principles, Processes, Tools, and Trends

Overview of this book

DevOps is a set of best practices enabling operations and development teams to work together to produce higher-quality work and, among other things, quicker releases. This book helps you to understand the fundamentals needed to get started with DevOps, and prepares you to start deploying technical tools confidently. You will start by learning the key steps for implementing successful DevOps transformations. The book will help you to understand how aspects of culture, people, and process are all connected, and that without any one of these elements DevOps is unlikely to be successful. As you make progress, you will discover how to measure and quantify the success of DevOps in your organization, along with exploring the pros and cons of the main tooling involved in DevOps. In the concluding chapters, you will learn about the latest trends in DevOps and find out how the tooling changes when you work with these specialties. By the end of this DevOps book, you will have gained a clear understanding of the connection between culture, people, and processes within DevOps, and learned why all three are critically important.

Simply picking tooling and implementing it in your environment is not going to make you successful and will set your DevOps transformation back. You should engage others, listen to concerns, and develop a strategy for implementing your tooling. In this chapter, we will look at the considerations for creating a strategy for tooling.

By the end of this chapter, you will understand the importance of following architectural best practices as well as security requirements at all times, learn how to develop training plans to help your team use the new tooling, and learn about the importance of having owners and processes associated with tooling.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding architectural and security requirements
  • Developing training plans to help your team
  • Defining owners and processes for tooling
