04

What is DevOps?

In Addition We Believe...

"DevOps isn't a thing. It's not a product, standard, specification,

framework or job title. DevOps is about experiences, ideas and

culture to create High-Performing IT Professionals and Teams"

Fundamentally

DevOps is the ultimate search for Flow across IT and Business

Digital Business Models are Driving

Disruption

The Disruptive Revolution Called DevOps

IT infrastructure as we know it is completely disrupted by lightweight container

technology (best known by market leader Docker and its technology)

Public cloud solutions (e.g. Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, MS Azure) are now

sufficiently mature to convince even larger enterprises to go cloud-native and reduce in-

house IT operations.

Agile software development teams transform from happy folks gathered around a

Scrum board with multi-colored post-its to high-performance feature teams for which "Done

= live" and "infrastructure as code" are central credos instead of marketing buzz.

Monolithic and traditional application architectures landscapes that typically accrued

substantial technical debt over the past years, transform to distributed microservices-based

models to allow value-added business logic to be quickly added or changed by those agile

autonomous teams, to better serve the end users.

Organizations start to realize that bringing a new feature into production is something that

should be possible within minutes, multiple times a day, without disrupting any business

continuity. As a result, all waste in IT Development and Operations is removed by fully

automating the lifecycle adopting reliable continuous delivery and deployment practices.

Testing Community - Why Should You Care

about DevOps?

1. As the industry and DevOps Market is

developing Testing must be a part of it – No

Choice

2. The importance of Testing is increasing –

because of SPEED in which we release new

capabilities

3. Infrastructure is becoming software defined –

the area of attention for Testers is expanding

(hardware+software)

4. Testing Professionals will need the skills to

be able to deliver on the above
