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).

Understanding operations management

Before we can start defining operations management in an enterprise architecture, including the roles and demarcations between these roles, we need to understand what IT operations include. In this section, we will discuss the definition of IT operations and IT Operations Management (ITOM).

First, why is this important? DevOps has a tendency to focus on development: exploring and building new features and new products. In discussing release management and CI/CD, there's also focus on the development and deployment process. But operations is just as important as development, and the role of IT operations is changing. Not only because of DevOps, but also because of the digital transformation that a lot of enterprises are going through. We will learn more about this in this section.

As a short definition, we can say that IT operations includes all the processes that support hardware and software that are used by the enterprise to fulfill...
