Our Learning – Key Aspects
Design to motivate frequent submit of small changes
Design for Speed
One code-line only
100% automated
should not run longer than 5 - 10min
Low entry barrier
fosters collaboration
State of the art tools
Lightweight
Allow to plugin team specific process
steps
Extensible
Team Specific Views, Thresholds, …
Customizable
Simple to get status of “my” change
Alarming in case of problems
Transparency
Team committed to
stop the line in case of problems
continuously improve to become better
and faster
Team Commitment

Why Continuous Integration might no be enough

Production
?
Where to execute long
running tests?
Typical example: security scans,
scenario testing, …
?
Where to run semi-automated
acceptance tests?
Specification Check, Documentation testing,
…
? Handover to
other teams?
?
Controlled Deployment into
Production
Deploy any change automatically might
not be possible…

What is the Problem?
DevOps: A culture where people,
regardless of title or background,
work together to imagine,
develop, deploy and operate a
system.

“It need to change it fast.”
DEV
“I own the application.”
OPS
“I own the application runtime”
“I need to keep it stable”
Problem 1: Conflicting Goals?
Production
Conflicting Goal in the
Organization

32. 32EXTERNAL© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ
“On my PC it’s working.”
DEV
“I own the application.”
OPS
“I own the application runtime”
“I can’t get it running without you!”
Problem 2: Tight Coupling between Application and Runtime?
Production
Throw over the wall behavior

33. 33EXTERNAL© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ
Some Practices to fix it
DEV OPS
Collaborative Culture
assure close cooperation
between teams, roles, levels
respect for each other
Same Values
common goals
common values
common incentives
common success
Same Responsibility
life-site first for everyone
joint application
tracking/monitoring
Same Practices
agile operation
automation
infrastructure as code

• Ensure a solid foundation based on agile principles before introducing DevOps at large scale
• Build a Continuous Integration process that motivates developers to submit small changes
frequently
• Build a Continuous Delivery process that is transparent and provides feedback to the engineer
• Forster a collaborative culture between Dev and Ops
• It is never done - iterate to get better continuously, measure and learn!
• Consult Continuous Integration Best Practices with SAP for more information
