Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

Summary


This chapter presented a brief overview of the background of the DevOps movement. We discussed the history of DevOps and its roots in development and operations, as well as in the Agile movement. We also took a look at how ITIL and DevOps might coexist in larger organizations. The cargo cult anti-pattern was explored, and we discussed how to avoid it. You should now be able to answer where DevOps fits into a larger Agile context and the different cycles of Agile development.

We will gradually move toward more technical and hands-on subjects. The next chapter will present an overview of what the technical systems we tend to focus on in DevOps look like.
