This document discusses closing gaps between development and operations teams through improved processes and tool integration. Some key points discussed include: 1) Adopting an organizational model that isolates environments between business lines and defines producer-consumer relationships between development teams. 2) Implementing a package-based distribution model and "meta-packages" to represent standardized software stacks. 3) Establishing a release process involving continuous integration, automated deployments, and version control through tools like Jenkins, Rundeck, and Yum. 4) Integrating provisioning, configuration management, monitoring and other tools like Puppet, RightScale, Nagios and Splunk to provide a unified operations architecture.

7. Organizational model people
Isolate environments between business lines
Producer versus consumer development relationships
Package-based distribution model
“meta-package” to represent software stacks
Business lines control when to adopt new versions from
other groups
