Software Delivery in a Nutshell2

Apps: More important / More Complex• More frequent changes• Lower tolerance for outages• More complex applications• More complex deployments3

Software Delivery in a Nutshell This is broken4

Software Delivery in a Nutshell Are we making more How’s the money? performance?5

Apps: More important / More Complex• More frequent changes• Lower tolerance for outages• More complex applications• More complex deployments• Need: Fix the Dev to Ops hand-off for speed / reliability, and deliver better visibility into production performance.6

That’s DevOpsEmbrace faster change and manage risk by building a collaborative culture and automating like crazy7

Themes in DevOps Tooling Shared tools Lots of automation Self service XaaS Version everything8

Example impact on tools: Issue Trackers9

Example impact on tools: Issue Trackers• Shared Tools: Within a project, have a common backlog for development and infrastructure tasks.• Automation: Make sure you have APIs available to automatically create / migrate tickets based on tests, monitoring, deployments.10

Toolchain 1: Build12

Toolchain 2: Deployment13

Toolchain 3: Platform as a Service14

Toolchain 3: Platform as a Service15

Toolchain 4: Test on Deployment16

Toolchain 5: Continuous Delivery / Deploy17

Toolchain 6 – CD with Rollback18

Where does this get us? Consistency Tasks required to deliver tracked in one place CI and “official builds” unified Same deployment tool for all environments Same infrastructure tool in all environments19

Where does this get us? Efficiency Less manual effort We avoid rework Information is easier to find Less dependence on tribal knowledge20

Where does this get us? Safety Error prone manual processes minimized Deployments of known versions21

Where does this get us? Visibility Deployments of known versions Inventory of what is where Audit is easy22

Where to start?23

Audit what you have• Where are the bottlenecks?• Where are errors introduced?• Where does the communication stink?24 White Paper: Lean for build and deploy automation

Agree on a Vision25

Begin replacing / Adding tools26

What’s Normal?• Ensure at least “ok” build• Work on the deployment / delivery tool chain27

Key Points• Lots of tools – Build, Deploy, Provision, Config, Test, Monitoring – Multiple vendors: APIs & – Expect and manage overlap• Share tools across silos• Automate like crazy28

Urbancode Tools• AnthillPro: Continuous Delivery• uBuild, CodeStation, uDeploy, uProvision – More “tool-chainy”29
