DevOps

Is this statement correct? “DevOps is more than just a tool or a process change, it inherently requires an organisational culture shift”

• Yes, there needs to be cultural shift within the organisation across all stakeholders to ensure a successful adoption of a DevOps approach

• Yes, but the most up to date tools and LEAN processes need to be in place to drive an organisational culture shift.

• No, DevOps is all about the tools.

• No, cultural shift will occur when staff are using the most up to date tools and LEAN processes.

Which benefits of adopting a DevOps approach could be included in a business case to adopt a DevOps approach?

• Improved deployment frequency, which can lead to faster time to market

• Lower failure rate of new releases

• Shortened lead time between fixes

• Faster mean time to recovery in the event of a new release crashing or otherwise disabling the current system

Which statement best describes the role of Change Management within a DevOps environment?

• Nothing changes as a risk adverse Change Management approach is paramount to IT and business success.

• The moment an app change is asked for, the request should go to the Developers to authorise. Once authorised it goes to Operations for implementation.

Which statement best describes the goal of DevOps?

The adoption of DevOps is being driven by factors such as:

• Operational considerations are prioritised over stability

• Operational considerations are taken into account

DevOps means…

• Developers taking over all Operations tasks.

• Automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes.

• The collaboration and communication of both software developers and other information-technology (IT) professional while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes.
