Model developed by Redpill Linpro to help customers
adopt to DevOps.

Model intended to cover every aspect of a successful


implementation of DevOps.

Redpill Linpro will be able to assist in every phase of


implementation of a DevOps led strategy.

Redpill Linpro can provide cloud based tools and


services to support your move to DevOps.

Redpill Linpro can also assume the full responsibility


for the implementation of a DevOps led strategy.

Objective is to make organisations DevOps ready.


DevOps Ready Model
The digitalisation will require a decreased
”Time-to-market” for new ideas. IT turnaround
on deliveries will have to go from months to
days and if IT can’t adopt, business will look
for other solutions.

How to make DevOps work?


• Focus is on process from ”Idea to deploy”
• Remove silos and establish joint efficient process to meet the challenges
• Base it on the concepts of ”release early – release often” and ”fail fast”

Common issues with lacking a DevOps model


• Technical debt
- Ops caught up in managing upgrades and maintenance
- Dev focused on new functionalities/features
• ”Silo thinking”
- Separate budgets, responsibilities and targets
- Long time for problem solving/incident management
• ”Escape to the cloud” effect
- Business turning to cloud solutions outside of IT to solve their problems.
• ”Fire fighting”
- Recent studies show that sysadmins use 50%*) less time remediating security
issues

8 benefits from using a DevOps model


• Decrease time from idea to deploy!
• Self service capabilities for Developers and Business
• Remove silos – align objectives and establish efficient processes
• Decrease incident management time
• Capability to manage parallel dev and prod environments
• Release budget and capacity for innovation rather then maintenance!
• Portability across distribution environments
• Minimize down time through increased transparency, configuration manage-
ment and compliance

DevOps CAMS Model

DevOps CAMS Model - Culture


To establish a DevOps style of work requires a new culture within the entire organisation.

20 steps to take to establish a DevOps Culture

1 Instead of optimising within their silos, they need to work together to establish joint targets
2 Teams need to be cross-function and embrace an agile methodology with joint cooperation on
continuous improvement
3 They will require modern and efficient tooling to support agile cooperation
4 Management support/follow up will be vital
5 Establish joint target/strategy
6 Ensure management support and budget
7 ”Think big – act small – scale fast”
8 Establish good examples!
9 Start with small joint team of Dev and Ops for a specific project.
10 Continuously evaluate and improve
11 Choose and test tooling to support agility and self service
12 Establish a methodology through the good example!
13 Market the good example!
14 Ensure continued management support
15 Establish ”DevOps” teams and allocate them physically together if
possible
16 Create incentives and targets for cooperation
17 Project Manager – Facilitator – Not leader/manager
18 Train on the established tooling
19 Establish KPIs on important processes
20 Establish culture of sharing (refer to Sharing for more input)
DevOps CAMS Model - Automation
To support DevOps – you will need the right tooling. Possibly you
will have some of the tools already, but an inventory is a good start
• Open Source tools are considered leaders
• We can provide reference architecture to speed up the process.
• The architecture (or parts of it) can be deployed on premise or
hosted in a cloud solution (see below reference architecture)

Below you will find some of the leading tooling


to support DevOps:
• Git/Gitlab – Version control
• Jenkins – Continuous integration
• Sonarcube – Code Quality check
• Puppet/Ansible – Configuration Management
• Openshift – Container Management
• Logstash – Metrics and log analysis
• Cloud platforms – OpenStack, AWS, Azure, VMware, Redpill Linpro Cloud

Reference architecture

Reference architecture - 100% “clouded” (Redpill Linpro Cloud offer) Reference architecture - “partly clouded”
DevOps CAMS Model - Measurement
To judge if your DevOps initiative is performing in accordance
with the strategy you need metrics and KPIs. These should not
only be used as one-point measures on status, but also as basis for
continuous improvements.

The metrics should be open and transparent to everyone to enhance


cooperation and the notion of a joint target. Ideal is to measure
improvements in processes like ”from idea to deploy” or ”from
incident to fix”. A good start is measuring technical achievements
or processes like ”from commit to deploy”. Tooling can be used to
achieve this automatically.

4 measurement tips
• All metrics should be made available for everyone from CIO to DevOps staff.
• Targets should be well established with all involved parties
• Ideal would be to include Business in the metrics and measure overall targets including time from
initial idea to deploy – which is the overall object to decrease
• Targets that are not fulfilled should be followed up.

DevOps CAMS Model - Sharing


To make your DevOps initiative successful it is important to establish a culture of sharing. Information
needs to be made available to everyone involved and beyond. All targets should be cross organisational
borders

Sharing creates foundation for continuous improvement


Knowledge is power, but in a DevOps setting it is important that
information is made available – the point is process improvement.
Information shared is fed back into processes and culture.
