Dev Ops 2

DevOps is a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the change being placed into production, while ensuring high quality. The term DevOps was first used in 2009 at a conference in Belgium. In 2012, the State of DevOps report was launched to study DevOps adoption, finding it was accelerating in 2014. DevOps uses different toolchains including tools for coding, building, testing, packaging, releasing, configuring, and monitoring applications.

From an academic perspective, Len Bass, Ingo Weber, and Liming Zhu — three computer science
researchers from the CSIRO and the Software Engineering Institute — suggested defining DevOps
as "a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the
change being placed into normal production, while ensuring high quality".[6]

The term DevOps, however, has been used in multiple contexts.[7]

History
In 2009, the first conference named devopsdays was held in Ghent, Belgium. The conference was
founded by Belgian consultant, project manager and agile practitioner Patrick Debois.[8][9] The
conference has now spread to other countries.[10]

In 2012, the State of DevOps report was conceived and launched by Alanna Brown at Puppet.[11][12]
As of 2014, the annual State of DevOps report was published by Nicole Forsgren, Gene Kim, Jez
Humble and others.[13][14] In 2014, they found that DevOps adoption was accelerating.[13] Also in
2014, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory wrote the book More Agile Testing, containing a chapter on
testing and DevOps.[15][16]

Toolchains
As DevOps is intended to be a cross-functional mode of working, those that practice the
methodology use different sets of tools—referred to as "toolchains"—rather than a single one.[17]
These toolchains are expected to fit into one or more of the following categories, reflective of key
aspects of the development and delivery process:[18][19]

1. Coding – code development and review, source code management tools, code merging
2. Building – continuous integration tools, build status
3. Testing – continuous testing tools that provide quick and timely feedback on business risks
4. Packaging – artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging
5. Releasing – change management, release approvals, release automation
6. Configuring – infrastructure configuration and management, infrastructure as code tools
7. Monitoring – applications performance monitoring, end-user experience
Some categories are more essential in a DevOps toolchain than others; especially continuous
integration (e.g. Jenkins, Gitlab, Bitbucket pipelines) and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform,
Ansible, Puppet).[20][21]

Forsgren et al. found that IT performance is strongly correlated with DevOps practices like source
code management and continuous delivery.[13]
