Study Notes
ITIL Evolution
- ITIL 3 defined Problem Management as a function within IT Service Management (ITSM)
- In ITIL 4, this function evolved into "Problem Management Practice"
- The objective of Problem Management Practice in ITIL 4 is to deliver problem management outputs effectively
- The change in ITIL 4 focuses on collaboration and value delivery efficiency
ITIL Principles
- There are seven guiding ITIL principles.
- Focus on Value: Organizations should ensure all actions deliver value to stakeholders, especially customers.
- Start Where You Are: Utilize existing systems and processes as a foundation for improvement.
- Progress Iteratively with Feedback: Break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps and gather feedback after each step.
- Collaborate and Promote Visibility: Foster an environment of collaboration and transparency within the IT team.
DevOps Concepts
- Represents a set of principles and practices that aim to streamline software development and deployment.
- The DevOps methodology emphasizes collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.
Three Central Elements of DevOps
-
People: A DevOps team consists of diverse professionals who contribute to all stages of the software lifecycle.
- Product Owner: Responsible for the product backlog.
- Developer: Creates code and performs unit testing.
- Tester: Develops and executes test scripts.
- Architect: Designs software architecture.
- IT Security: Manages IT security aspects.
-
Process: The DevOps process revolves around a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, composed of:
- Continuous Integration (CI): Automates code integration, testing, and builds, minimizing errors.
- Continuous Delivery (CD): Automates deployment to the test environment, requiring human intervention for production deployment.
- Continuous Deployment (CD): Automates deployment to production, building upon Continuous Delivery principles, with a complete end-to-end automated approach.
-
Technology:
- Choice of tools is crucial for success.
- Tools can vary depending on the technology stack and specific needs of the organization.
- Examples of widely used source code repositories include Git and Subversion.
- Git is a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS), allowing developers to work on the entire codebase independently.
- Subversion is a Central Version Control System (CVCS), requiring developers to check out, modify, and check in code to a central server.
DevOps Principles (CALMS)
-
Culture: Fosters a blameless culture where everyone takes responsibility for the product as a whole.
- Encourage taking ownership beyond individual tasks.
- Promote innovation and stepping outside comfort zones.
- Emphasize communication, collaboration, and teamwork.
- Value experimentation and learning from mistakes.
-
Automation: Automates repetitive tasks for increased efficiency and speed.
- Aims to reduce manual intervention and errors.
- Cloud infrastructure provides faster server creation through code.
-
Lean: Adopts the Lean philosophy to streamline processes and eliminate waste.
- Focus on simplicity and straightforward approaches.
- Reduce waste through optimizing processes and eliminating defects.
-
Measurement: Emphasizes data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement through monitoring and feedback.
- Use metrics to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of changes.
- Implement monitoring tools to track application and infrastructure performance, alerting on warnings or exceptions.
-
Sharing: Promotes collaboration, knowledge-sharing and a culture of learning.
- Encourages sharing knowledge, experience, ideas, and best practices.
- Fosters collaboration and teamwork among team members.
- Reduces silos and promotes a sense of shared understanding.
