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 the shift-left movement in DevOps

Shift left has become a popular term over the past years. But what do we mean by this? It's about moving activities that were originally planned at a later stage up to the beginning of a process. This is typically the case with testing, which for a long time was executed as soon as the whole product was delivered to a test team. Shift-left testing has become an important paradigm in DevOps: executing tests as early as possible. By having tests already from the beginning of development, issues will be found much sooner and can be fixed in that early stage. It will improve the end product. The following figure shows the impact of shift-left testing:

The shift-left principle can be applied to more processes in DevOps. Think of the very first step in DevOps: design. IT teams, both software developers and cloud engineers working on the infrastructure, should have...
