DevOps - A Gentle Introduction
11 likes5,899 views
DevOps is a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and deploying it to production while ensuring high quality. It focuses on bridging the gap between developers and operations teams. Key DevOps principles include systems thinking, amplifying feedback loops, and a culture of experimentation. DevOps aims to achieve continuous delivery through practices like automated deployments, infrastructure as code, and deployment strategies like blue-green deployments and rolling upgrades.

- 4. Checkin to release => it takes ages! how many weeks, months, or years?!!
- 6. DevOps - Drivers Evolution of agile and lean methods Need for quicker releases to realise business needs Wider availability of virtualization & cloud-based platforms Increased availability of data centre automation & configuration management tools

- 10. Cyclic vs. continuous delivery Cyclic delivery of earlier times continuous delivery of modern times weeks/months/years hours/days!
- 11. Agile and DevOps • Agile focuses on bridging the gap between user requirements and realising them and testing it. So it bridges the gap between user requirements and development + testing. • DevOps focuses on bridging the gap between the developers and the operations people. So, in addition to users functional and non-functional requirements, devops focuses on operational and business readiness
- 12. DevOps principles • Systems thinking - looking at how the entire system works instead of silos (like development teams, IT operations team, etc) • Amplify feedback loops • A culture of continual experimentation and learning

- 15. DevOps processes • Treat operators as first class citizens • Make Dev more responsible for incident handling • Enforce deployment practices uniformly across both dev and ops • Use continuous deployment • Develop infrastructure code using same processes as application code Source: DevOps: A Software Architect's Perspective, Len Bass, Ingo Weber, Liming Zhu, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2015
- 16. Deployment strategies • Two basic all of nothing strategies • Blue/Green (Red/Black) – leave N instances with version A as they are, allocate and provision N instances with version B and then switch to version B and release instances with version A. • Rolling Upgrade – allocate one instance, provision it with version B, release one version A instance. Repeat N times. • Partial strategies are canary testing and A/B testing. Source: DevOps: A Software Architect's Perspective, Len Bass, Ingo Weber, Liming Zhu, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2015

- 19. Feature toggles • Develop version B with new code under control of feature toggle • Install each instance of version B with the new code toggled off. • When all of the instances of version A have been replaced with instances of version B, activate new code through toggling the feature. Source: DevOps: A Software Architect's Perspective, Len Bass, Ingo Weber, Liming Zhu, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2015 Key idea: differentiate between installing a new version and activating a new version
- 20. Canary testing • Canaries are a small number of instances of a new version placed in production in order to perform live testing in a production environment. • Canaries are observed closely to determine whether the new version introduces any logical or performance problems. If not, roll out new version globally. If so, roll back canaries. Source: DevOps: A Software Architect's Perspective, Len Bass, Ingo Weber, Liming Zhu, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2015

- 23. Rollback or roll forward? • When newly deployed feature has bugs or other problems (e.g., performance), what to do? • Roll back (undo the deployment) • Roll forward (replace the feature with new feature / fixed version)
- 24. THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL WE HAVE AS DEVELOPERS IS AUTOMATION Scott Hanselman
- 25. Deployment tools • “Bake” machine images • “Recipes” for standard configurations • DevOps engineers manage the recipes • “Infrastructure as code” approach • Scripts are managed with similar processes as source code (e.g., versioned in configuration management systems)
- 26. Server snowflakes • Server configurations can be different. This makes reproducing the problem in the production environment difficult in the production environment. source: http://www.livescience.com/images/i/000/009/284/original/ig35_snowflakes_13_02.jpg?interpolation=lanczos-none&downsize=660:*

- 29. DevOps: Challenges • How to integrate security audits on continually changing codebases? • How to run static analysers - they take quite a bit of time to run and can delay builds? • How to deal with culture change in the org (developers and operators - both will resist)
- 30. DevOps and related topics • Continuous integration focuses on integrating code changes by developers so that the main branch is up-to-date • Continuous delivery focuses on taking the results of continuous integration builds and put them into production • DevOps and Cloud technologies are intricately connected though DevOps practices can be used independently of the cloud
- 31. DevOps benefits • Quicker delivery - shorter time from need to realisation • Better quality • Increased organisational effectiveness
