Devops Best Practices Checklist

Find the original here article here: Devops Best Practices

DevOps started out as "Agile Systems Administration". In 2008, Andrew Shafer did a talk called "Agile Infrastucture" addressing issues around involving more of the company in the same disciplines as programmers.

In 2009, Patrick Debois created "DevOpsDays" conference to help to bring it to light. However, it wouldn't begin to trend until about 2010, when people would begin to describe it as a standalone discipline.

Today, DevOps goes beyond just developers, systems administration and infrastructure, its about dev, ops, agile, cloud, open source and business, everything.

DevOps is a movement. There's no certificate, role, set of tools or prescriptive process. There's no specification, it's not a product, or job title.

Practicing as well as preaching. It's a conversation. It's about taking the best experiences and sharing those with others.

Agile to Lean

Lean to Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration to Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery to Continuous Deployment
