DevOps Professional

The DevOps practices covered in this certification are derived from the Three Ways: The First Way is to enable the work to move fast from left to right, from Development to Operations to the customer. The Second Way is to enable feedback to go fast from right to left, from all stakeholders back into the value stream. The Third Way is to enable learning by creating a high-trust culture of experimentation and risk-taking.

Description

The word DevOps is a contraction of ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to:

  • Continuous Integration: merging all developed working copies to a shared mainline several times a day
  • Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as possible
  • Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stages
