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.

Chapter 12: Implementing DevOps in a Real-World Organization

Using everything we have learned so far, in this chapter we will look at putting everything into practice and see how you might implement DevOps in a real-world organization. Using a fictitious organization, we will set out problem statements, define what their goals are, and then look at how we can help that company adapt and change, starting on the road to DevOps transformation.

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to combine all the elements we have covered in the book and put them together to practice a real-world transformation to DevOps.

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

  • Understanding why organizations move to DevOps
  • Defining our fictional organization
  • Walk-through of a sample DevOps transformation
