DevOps / App Lifecycle Management
Continuously integrate & deliver innovation

DevOps is the union of people, process, and products that supports the continuous delivery of value to end users. Deliver winning applications using a comprehensive set of best-in-class tools and technologies that align development and operations teams, working on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

People

People/culture is about bringing people together in a collaborative fashion that enables multi-discipline teams to work together more easily, share common goals, and focus on identifying new areas for improvement.

Process

Process is about finding ways to increase efficiency, streamline feedback and eliminate waste. All processes should be focused on delivering business value faster — focusing on the flow of value through the system.

Tools

Tools support processes and help people collaboratedelivering software faster, facilitate feedback and experimentation.


Embrace DevOps & Innovate at Scale

To embrace DevOps and innovate at scale, there are four challenges that need solving:

1. From day one you need the ability to maintain your service reliability, scale to meet customer demand, maintain your security posture, and provide feedback to continuously improve your service stack.

2. How do you give developers the best tools and re-usable building blocks to accelerate ideation to realization?

3. Developers need to collaborate, both internally and externally, with partners and open source projects they are involved with.

4. With more collaboration on the same code, you need to ensure that it can be built, passes required tests, is secure, and can be deployed at any time. Also, new features need to be aligned with business objectives and tracked.
