About DevOps

DevOps emphasizes integration between software developers and IT operations: Rather than seeing these two groups as silos who pass things along but don’t really work together, DevOps recognizes the interdependence of software development and IT operations, and this approach helps an organization produce software and IT services more rapidly, with frequent iterations.

What Are the Measurable Benefits of DevOps?

DevOps aims at establishing a culture and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably, and in a DevOps environment, cross functionality, shared responsibilities, and trust are promoted. One tangible benefit of DevOps is an observed decrease in development and operations cost. Other measurable benefits of DevOps include:

• Shorten your Development Cycle
• Increase Release Velocity
• Improved Defect Detection
• Reduce Deployment Failures and Rollbacks
• Reduce the Time to Recover upon Failure

DevOps (development and operations) is a software development phrase used to describe a type of agile relationship between Development and IT Operations. The goal of DevOps is to improve communication, collaboration, and processes between the various roles in the software development cycle in order to improve and speed up software delivery.

Release Managers, also known as Release Engineers or Product Stability Managers, work to address the management and coordination of the product from development through production. Typically, they work on more of the technical details and hurdles in which a traditional project manager would not be involved. Release managers oversee the coordination, integration, and flow of development, testing, and deployment to support continuous delivery. They're focused not just on creating, but also maintaining the end-to-end application delivery tool chain.

Recommended Training for Release Managers

DevOps Foundation
This two-day course provides an introduction to DevOps – the cultural and professional movement that stresses communication, collaboration, integration and automation in order to improve the flow of work between software developers and IT operations professionals. Improved workflows will result in an improved ability to design, develop, deploy and operate software and services faster.

Continuous Delivery Ecosystem Foundation
This two-day course will be particularly relevant to automation architects, release engineers, infrastructure teams, security professionals, quality assurance and other roles that contribute to the software delivery value stream.

DevOps Solutions Architects provide their teams subject matter expertise on DevOps best practices across cloud, automation, and self-service solutions. They design, architect, and guide engineering through the implementation of self-service and automated cloud solutions.

DevOps Leader
This two-day course is designed for a tactical or strategic individual who helps design, influence, implement or motivate the cultural transformation proven to be a critical success factor in DevOps adoption. The individual that acquires the DevOps Leader (DOL) certification understands the human dynamics of cultural change and is equipped with practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the DevOps spectrum.

A DevOps Evangelist promotes the benefits of DevOps by identifying and quantifying the business benefits that come from the greater agility DevOps delivers. As a change agent, the DevOps Evangelist ensures buy-in from development and operational teams, identifies the key roles to support DevOps delivery methods, and makes sure IT professionals are trained and empowered to make those changes.
