Dear InfoWorld reader,
Devops is one of those rare enterprise IT trends that began with a sentiment rather than a technology: Why can't developers and operations just get along? Developers demand constant reconfiguration from operations, while operations needs apps that are truly production-ready. A broad array of devops solutions has emerged to help both sides collaborate and do their jobs more effectively.
In this Digital Spotlight, InfoWorld and Network World have teamed up to examine devops from both an organizational and a technology perspective. First we uncover the origins: "Why devops' time has come" explains how the agile development movement changed the way software is created forever by calling for shorter dev cycles, greater interaction with stakeholders, and an openness to change. This yields better software, but also creates new burdens for operations -- which devops automation technologies are intended to lighten.
The centerpiece of this Digital Spotlight, "Elements of devops," breaks down typical dev, test, and deployment processes and explains how devops automation fits in. Product categories include application lifecycle management, automated testing tools, database virtualization, release automation, configuration management, application performance monitoring, platform as a service, and related technologies.
Finally, "How Etsy makes devops work" takes a close look at the adoption of devops at one of the world's leading e-commerce firms. Etsy latched on to devops concepts early and today is reaping the benefits as it scales to keep pace with rapid business growth. Network World Editor in Chief John Dix caught up with Etsy vice president of technical operations Michael Rembetsy to ask how the company put these ideas to work and what lessons it learned along the way.
From large enterprises to Internet startups, application development has become an ever more strategic function. Devops optimizes the application test and delivery system. This Digital Spotlight will provide a strategic guide for operations and application development managers seeking to modernize their own organizations.
