Who needs IT Depts?

“Gartner predicts that in less than three years, 35% of enterprise IT expenditures will happen outside of the corporate IT

budget.”

“results of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Digital IQ Survey indicate that at 100 of

the companies PwC ranks as "top performers," IT controls less than 50% of

corporate technology expenditures.”http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9226415/The_Upside_of_Shadow_IT?pageNumber=1

WHAT IS DEVOPS?And why should you care?

DevOpsGuys

Defining Devops I

“The term “DevOps” typically refers to the emerging professional movement that advocates a collaborative working

relationship between Development and IT Operations, resulting in the fast flow of planned work (i.e., high deploy rates), while simultaneously increasing the

reliability, stability, resilience and security of the production environment.” – Gene

Kim http://itrevolution.com/11devops/

He goes on to say

“…while simultaneously increasing the reliability,

stability, resilience and security of the production environment.”

– Gene Kim

Defining Devops II“I’ll tell you EXACTLY what DevOps means.

DevOps means giving a sh*t about your job enough to not pass the buck. DevOps means giving a sh*t about your job enough to want to learn all the parts and not just your little world.

Developers need to understand infrastructure. Operations people need to understand code. People need to f**king work with each other and not just occupy space next to each other.” - John E. Vincent (@Lusis)

Products not Projects

Embrace Chaos!“One of the first systems our engineers built in AWS is called the Chaos Monkey. The Chaos Monkey’s job is to randomly kill instances and services within our architecture. If we aren’t constantly testing our ability to succeed despite failure, then it isn’t likely to work when it matters most – in the event of an unexpected outage.”

DevOps Transformation

• Start small & iterate• Standard change management

practices… but remember culture, culture, culture!

• Not a “free-for-all”• Not a return to the “pre-ITIL cowboys

days”• “Developers managing Production”– http://blog.devopsguys.com/2013/02/17

DEVOPS & RECRUITERSA difference in emphasis?

DevOps Job Board Keywords

DevOpsGuys

“DevOps” Whitewashing

• Most of the job ads aren’t really “DevOps” jobs– It’s a SysAdmin job that someone’s

stuck a DevOps label on…

• Challenge the customer’s requirements– Puppet and Chef on the same advert?

• DevOps isn’t a synonym for Automation (remember C.A.L.M.S!)

DevOpsGuys

Understand the Big Picture

• “DevOps” Transformation

• Digital Transformation• Cloud Migration
