 What is DevOps

 A Cultural Movement
 It's by practitioners, for practitioners
 DevOps is not a set of tools
 DevOps is also not a standard
 DevOps is a culture of collaboration between developers and system operations

 Scrum Snippets

 Scrum is a process framework

 Enables environment for teams to work together
 Is based on 3 pillars
 Transparency – Parity
 Inspection – Based on Artefacts
 Adaptation – Adjustments to minimize deviations
 Sprint Based – Set of activities to be completed with scheduled duration.
 Sprint Durations not exceeding 4 weeks
 Ceremonies Driven

Scrum – Roles & Process

Ceremonies
o Product Owner is part of Business or is Customer Benefits of Scrum
o Scrum Master is Facilitator or Mentor or Guide o Increased ability to manage changing priorities
o Development team o Better visibility into projects
o Scrum Team – Collaboration of all roles o More alignment between business and IT
o Faster time to market

 A Brief History of DevOps

 DevOps grew out of Agile software development.

 Initiated by Patrick Debois
 Began as a small niche movement and is now a de facto.

 The Goals of DevOps

 Operation teams needs stability and dev team needs speed

 In DevOps Team, both share the same goals
 Shared measurements
 Focus on Time to Market
 Immediate recovery from failures
 Both teams care about speed and stability.

 A Story of DevOps vs. Traditional Silos

 Silos are separated teams

 QA team identifies the bugs, Dev team fixes them and Ops team pushes the code to
prod.
 All groups claim – “its not my responsibility”
 Need for DevOps Monitoring
 End Result - Happy customers, Happy teams.

 Build Automation

 automating the process of preparing code for deployment to a live environment

 it looks like running a command-line tool that builds code using configuration files or scripts
 build automation is more reliable because it's automated -> Few problems

www.thecloudmentor.com 10
 Continuous Integration

 The practice of frequently merging code changes done by developers

 That it allows you to detect certain types of bugs very, very early
 The developers are notified and fix bugs immediately
 Encourages good coding practices

www.thecloudmentor.com 11
 Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment

 Continuous delivery - the practice of continuously maintaining code in a deployable state

 Continuous deployment - the practice of frequently deploying small code changes to
production

Source Code CI CD
Management
Build Release Non-Prod

• Compile App • Deploy App

GIT • Unit Tests • Integration Tests
GITHUB • Static Code Analysis • UI & QA Tests Manual push
Azure Repo • Generate SQL Scripts • Deploy SQL Scripts to production
• Testing the Scripts • Test SQL Results
Automated
• Check the Infra Config • Deploy infra config Files
Deployment

Production
Comprehensive Configuration Management

----- Source Code Repository — Used primarily during the development

----- Developers phase.
----- DBA (SQL Scripts) Artifact Repository — Used during the development and operations
phases.
----- IT/Operations Team (terraform) Configuration Management Database — Used during the
development and operations phases.

 Infrastructure as Code

 managing and provisioning infrastructure using code and automation

 we use automation and code to create and change things
 you get reusability when you use Infrastructure as Code
 your infrastructure and any changes made to it are documented
 helps you simplify the complexity.

www.thecloudmentor.com 14
 Configuration Management

 Maintaining and changing the state of pieces of infrastructure in a consistent,

maintainable and stable way
 Changes are a normal part of day-to-day life in the IT industry
 Configuration management is a way of minimizing configuration drift
 Configuration drift is the accumulation of all of the small changes

www.thecloudmentor.com 15
 Orchestration

 Orchestration is automation that supports processes and workflows

 Self-healing environments that are capable of handling large changes in load

www.thecloudmentor.com 16
 Monitoring

 Collection and presentation of data about the performance and stability of services and
infrastructure.
 Monitoring tools collect data about things such as memory usage, cpu, disk i/o in usage of
other resource is over time.
 Real time notifications
 PostMortem Analysis

www.thecloudmentor.com 17
 Microservices

 microservices are a particular software architecture

 A microservice architecture breaks an application up into a collection of small, loosely
coupled services.
 small pieces broken up into their own individually executable portions

 Monolithic vs Modular vs Microservices

Modular Catalog/MS1 Oracle DB

Cons of Monolithic
Updates C# & ASP.NET
Catalog/Mod1 DB
Team Management
Orders/Mod2 Deployment HTTP/S & Rest API
DB Maintainability
Payments/Mod3
Orders/MS2 SQL Server
JAVA/SpringBoot
Advantages of Microservices
App
Multi Repository HTTP/S & Rest API & Queues
Catalog Independent Deployment
Multi DB Engines
Orders DB Payment/MS2 Mango DB
Payment Shorter cycle time
Python/Pyspark
Easier technology selection
Monolithic

 Introduction to DevOps Tools

 DevOps has given rise to a large variety of tools in order to support the goals of DevOps.
 https://xebialabs.com/periodic-table-of-devops-tools/
 There's not a single set of tools that works for everyone

www.thecloudmentor.com 20
 Tools for Build Automation and
Continuous Integration

 Tools for build automation generally depend on the programming languages and
frameworks that have been used to create the code.
 Build Automation Tools - Maven , Gradle, NPM , Grunt, Gulp ,Packer
 CI Tools – Jenkins , Travis CI , Bamboo

www.thecloudmentor.com 21
 Tools for Configuration Management

 Configuration management tools are a great way to implement infrastructure as code.

 Ansible - Opensource
 Puppet – puppet specific language (Puppet DSL)
 Chef – chef specific language
 Salt – minions , Master.YAML

www.thecloudmentor.com 22
 Tools for Virtualization and
Containerization

 Virtualization means managing resources by creating virtual rather than physical

machines.
 VMWare ESX and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer.
 Containerization is in some ways the next step beyond virtualization.

 Tools for Monitoring

 SenSu
 NewRelic
 Nagios
 APM tool – App Dynamics
 Aggregation and analytics
 Kibana
 Elastic Stack

 DevOps and the Cloud

 DevOps and the Cloud, although they're closely related, they are not the same thing.
 Cloud Services can also be a great tool for DevOps.

www.thecloudmentor.com 27
 DevOps and Microsoft Azure

 Azure offers support for continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous
deployment through a variety of features.
 Support for Jenkins
 Azure Container Registry
 Azure Container Services
 Azure DevOps Pipeline
 Azure Webapps
 Azure Application Insights
 Azure Functions
