contact sales search by keyword search enterprise what is devops a guide to common methods and misconceptions by now most people in technology are familiar with the term devops what we call devops will often differ between organizations yet one thing remains the same devops is defined author jared murrell october 7 2020 by now most people in technology are familiar with the term devops what we call devops will often differ between organizations yet one thing remains the same devops is defined by people building software and how they work together not simply by what s in their toolchain as part of github s professional services team i ve had the opportunity to see the way many companies have adopted devops and what it looks like for teams in their day to day work here s what we ve learned and some common devops misconceptions we ve encountered along the way what is devops devops has been defined in many ways a set of practices that automate and integrate processes so teams can build test and release software faster and more reliably a combination of culture and tools that enable organizations to ship software at a higher velocity a culture a movement or a philosophy none of these are wrong and they are all important aspects of devops but they don t quite fully capture what s at the heart of devops the essential human element between dev and ops teams when collaboration bridges the gap that allows teams to ship better software faster for organizations devops provides value by increasing software quality and stability and shortening lead times to production for developers devops focuses on both automation and culture it s about how the work is done but most importantly devops is about enabling people to collaborate across roles to deliver value to end users quickly safely and reliably altogether it s a combination of focus means and expected results the focus of devops is people the means of implementing devops is process and tooling the result of devops is a better product delivered faster and more reliably common devops myths once we understand what devops is it s easier to identify what it isn t let s look at a few misconceptions you may have heard before myth having devops tools equals doing devops sometimes we hear teams say we use tool x or automate x process so now we re doing devops but as noted above tooling and automation are part of how you implement devops the means not devops itself it s a collaborative human endeavor and our tooling and the automation it supports is how we get this work done there are many tools in this space while it s tempting to immediately adopt a specific set of devops tools or a prescribed toolchain to try to shortcut your devops journey choosing the right tooling for your organization is key to your success myth devops is agile development one of the most common myths we hear is that agile and devops are the same while it s easy to confuse the two processes like agile are part of how to devops not what devops is agile lean extreme programming and other work fast ship often models are just a few of the many ways teams can make devops successful agile ships software faster but it doesn t ensure collaboration with other teams in the software lifecycle and can overwhelm test qa and operations teams if they re in a siloed organization myth there s only one right version of devops in practice devops is different for every organization as each brings its own unique constraints strengths talent and goals the tools and processes that worked in one company won t necessarily translate into success for another although there are common practices and principles for successful devops transformations it s not pre packaged in a box and there are many ways that companies can successfully implement their own myth devops is only about delivering value while it s true that devops delivers value for organizations helping them develop and deliver innovation to their end users with speed stability and reliability there s so much more to it devops started in part as a way to make software more humane by automating our workflows people can focus more on the task at hand this brings more joy to our work and decreases burnout common devops principles there are a few key concepts and principles that every successful devops program shares combining these with the right tooling process and culture will help teams find devops success while devops will look different for each organization and team here are a few starting pointers shared ownership effective collaboration relies on shared ownership understanding and embracing that everyone is responsible and contributes to the work in some way each person involved whether building the application maintaining it or contributing in another capacity knows that they have a stake in the outcome the old process of tossing work over the wall at the other team is broken down in the devops paradigm workflow automation automation enables consistency reliability and efficiency making it easier to troubleshoot problems and bugs by leveraging automation we can help avoid the trap of institutional knowledge where only certain people know how to do certain things rapid feedback automating repetitive tasks like reporting and testing provides rapid feedback so teams can quickly understand the impact of their changes throughout the software lifecycle that understanding helps teams work together more efficiently as passing changes from coders to builders builders to testers and testers back to coders creates a long loop of dependencies and blockers rapid feedback allows the developers and operations teams to make decisions together and implement changes based on shared data organizing your team for devops devops programs are built on shared principles and organizations will implement devops in different ways there isn t one perfect way of approaching devops that s better than another but there are tendencies and common pitfalls that can make particular approaches more challenging than others dedicated devops team for the company devops tools are numerous complex and often require specialized knowledge by dedicating a specific team to bridging the gap between development and operations you have a team that specializes in these tools and processes a challenge with this approach is that it creates yet another silo and is a bottleneck for approvals rather than breaking down the barriers between development teams and operations teams devops teams themselves become the broker if the devops team is small they can end up being a blocker as numerous teams attempt to onboard and contribute to the established processes dedicated devops engineers on each team assigning a devops engineer to each development team is another approach that can be successful having a devops engineer who spans development and operations teams for a given feature or product has the benefit of having a dedicated expert for certain tasks ideally this expert can then guide and support the rest of the team on using tools and best practices but this approach also risks treating this role as a funnel for automation work sometimes even turning devops engineers into the lone gatekeeper for deploying code to production without carefully watching team practices this can become overwhelming and lead to burnout for devops engineers leaving the rest of the team unable to fill their shoes one team for dev and ops a third approach we see is having one team for specific subsets of features for a larger application in which each member is responsible for both development and operation in these teams deployment and promotion through environments like testing staging and production are integral parts of the development process itself this approach helps avoid the pitfalls of the other two but has the added challenge of a steeper learning curve when this approach is done well we often see specialists within the team taking on various responsibilities the team shares the overall responsibilities but individuals can support the rest of the team by picking up different pieces that match their interests or background there s no single path to devops devops starts with your people then is put into practice by building with your team s culture goals strengths and constraints in mind understanding these will drive how you design your specific processes guide how you choose your devops tools and shape which devops best practices you adopt all leading your organization to its own definition of success there s no one right way to implement devops and like everything else in technology and anything involving humans devops tooling and practices will change by standardizing and automating your infrastructure application delivery and policies as code you ll be ready to adapt quickly helping your team do their best work faster while staying competitive looking for more on
