DevOps Patterns

  1. DevOps is a terminology used to refer to a set of principles and practices to emphasize the collaboration and communication of Information Technology [IT] professionals in a software project organization, while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure using Continuous Delivery Integration[CDI] methods.
  2. The DevOps is also connecting the teams of Development and Operations together to work collaboratively to deliver the Software to the customers in an iterative development model by adopting Continuous Delivery Integration [CDI] concepts. The software delivery happens  in small pieces at different delivery intervals. Sometimes these intervals can be accelerated depends on the customer demand.

To merge into this career; the IT professionals  need to learn the Agile concepts, Software configuration management, Release management, deployment management and  different DevOps principles and practices to implement the CDI patterns. The relevant tools for these practices integration. There are various tool vendors in the market. Also open source tools are very famous. Using these tools the DevOps practices can be integrated to maintain the speed for CDI.
  6. There  are tools related with version control and CDI automation. One need to learn the process steps related to these areas by attending a course.

1. Who can become DevOps Engineer ?

In traditional projects [Non Agile practiced projects] ; Build Engineers, Sys Admins, Release Engineers can convert their career into DevOps Engineer role through an Agile practiced IT organization.

In Agile projects we might have seen Build or Deployment Engineers; they can convert into DevOps Engineer roles.

2. What a desired ‘DevOps Engineer role professional’ need to learn ?

If somebody would like to convert their role into DevOps Engineer; they need to understand the following :

  1. Agile and Scrum or Lean practices
  2. DevOps Principles, practices and patterns
  3. Deployment, SCM  and Release management process
  4. Version control System tools [Ex: Git, SVN, etc..]
  5. Cloud setup and deployment [Ex: AWS, Azure,Google Cloud, Alibaba, etc..]
  6. Packaging process and tools [Ex: Maven, Gradle, etc.]
  7. Continuous Integration Tools [Ex: Jenkins, Teamcity,  etc.]
  8. Software Configuration Management [SCM]  tools [Ex: Ansible,  Chef, Puppet, etc.]
  9. Containerization [Docker]
  10. Some of the scripting languages [Ex: Shell, Bash, python, Ruby, Nodejs, etc.]
  11. Windows, Linux OS commands and operations.

They can learn incrementally also depends on the project need. Note all projects will not use the unique tools. Depends on the IT organization plans, practices and the environments they decide on choosing the vendor based or open source tools.

Note: Some of the famous tools only it has been mentioned. Hence one need to identify the customer project environment and their DevOps architecture also. If one understands the Basic process in their 1st learning phase, later on they can pickup faster.

How to Reduce Agile cycle time with reusable code ? [with Video lessons] # Kindle

Agile practices and the importance of Re-usable code libraries for cycle time reductionReusable code usage for Agile iterations planning by examples:

In many Agile transformation sessions the Agile practitioners or savvy’s discuss more on the process related activities rather than elaborating on the technical or software engineering process steps to reduce the cycle time.

At the same time prior to the Agile meetings, activity efforts need to be defined by the designers and the developers. Unless they identify the size of the reusable code components in the applications it is not worth for conducting the Release or Sprint planning meetings for planning of the iterations.

Hence it is the moral responsibility of the technical teams to apply this kind of practices ahead of Agile process or Scrum meetings.

If you are interested to know what reusable code with examples is, this E-Book can be useful. Using this technique, you can plan for code refractor and its cleaning also to get ROI on future Agile iterations. During Scrum meetings, these are the important topics where technical people need to discuss for customer’s ROI acceleration planning and also the cycle time reduction acceleration. The team’s technical capabilities also can be accelerated by following these practices regularly.

I have considered an application example of E-commerce site building for defining the Sprint planning and their iterations. Each iteration has been divided into different reusable code components design parts.

The relevant graphics have been designed and added into this E-book. The software configuration processes with Code Items process have been discussed also.

One can answer the following after understanding this E-Book content:
How to define the reusable code?
How the Iterations can be planned?
Is it possible to demonstrate the iterations cycle time reduction?
What are the entry criteria for Sprint planning?
What are the jumpstart activities required for designers before Agile release meeting?
How to manage the code components with configuration management process?
How to plan the efforts reduction for Sprint cycles?

The proposed or mandatory readers are:
Agile developers
Agile Designers
Agile PMS
Agile Product Owners
Agile teams
Who all intended to learn Agile Practices?
