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).

Enabling rapid innovation in digital transformation

The majority of modern enterprises are well underway in transforming their business to make it more digital native. We talked about this extensively in the first two chapters of this book. Customers continuously demand new features, and they want these features to be delivered almost instantly. To control this process, enterprises need to develop an innovation strategy catering for rapid innovation. An innovation strategy can be depicted as a pyramid, where AI-driven innovation is at the very peak of this pyramid.

This can be seen in the following diagram:

Figure 9.2 – Pyramid of AI-enabled innovation

Enterprises do not get to the top of the pyramid in one go; they usually start at the bottom, where innovation is driven by cost savings. From there, they need to develop the next steps, resulting in rapid innovation using AI and ML.

The first steps typically involve ways to find a budget, which...
