Traditional Software Development Life Cycle

Linear Flow to Release

Some friction between SLDC and ITIL - but low cadence

“Life was simpler back then…” Release Event

SDLC ITIL

Operations Development Business


Rare Release Events – Annual, Quarterly, Monthly

Effort Peaks, Higher Accumulated Change, Higher Risk

“Flood of change at release time…”

Low Release Cadence

Release Event

Time


Agile Release Cadence Idea

Frequent Release Events

Smoother Effort, Lower levels of accumulated change, Less Risk

“Change is flowing into production…”

Change Volume

Time

Release Event


Agile Release Cadence Impact

Business Goal - accelerate software delivery and quality

Operations is not on the same cadence

“Agile drives attempted release activity…”

“Sprints” “Marathons”



DevOps Gap

Faster Releases run into Operational Controls

Release Process is slow, manual and error prone

3 Core Change Types: Code, Configuration and Data All need to be accurately communicated to the prod team – to avoid production outages during release

Dev/Test Environment Provisioning is Slow/Error Prone

Environment provisioning problems – as part of DevOps

Can’t continuously deliver without easy to setup and tear down environments

When environments are provisioned they are usually wrong – or have defects

Environments are unreliable and inconsistent


Traditional Responses

Manual processes,

Spreadsheets, Conference Calls, Emails

“We have issues but some releases make it out…”

DevOps – Key Solution Areas

Planning - What is in the release? - When is the release? - What is the status of the release?

Coordination - How are we deploying? - Where are we deploying? - When are we deploying?

Automation - How is the change implemented? - What is the version?

Environments - Where are the servers? - Create a new environment? - How is the environment configured?


Collaborative Planning - Increase Dev and Ops team visibility into release planning process - Connecting Dev and Ops Tooling

Dev Issue Tracking (eg. JIRA) IT Service Management (eg. BMC Remedy)

Coordinating release process - Tightening up deployments and transition events - Improving communication and collaboration - Reducing Pre-production environment downtime

Increasing Automation - Extend and rationalize current automation - Standardize documentation

Improve Monitoring - Focus on end-user experience monitoring - Map deployments and releases to monitoring data feeds
