Enterprise DevOps for Architects

Many organizations are pursuing digital change, but it is fair to ask whether an enterprise can make that shift using the capabilities already built into Agile and DevOps practices. This book explains how to plan, build, and fit DevOps into an existing enterprise architecture in a way that brings operations staff along and keeps the overall setup durable under strain.

Rather than cataloguing the many tools on the market, the author concentrates on how to shape a DevOps architecture that works. The book offers an architectural overview of three areas that speed up digital transformation: DevOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps. Each concept is unpacked step by step and supported by practical examples and self-assessment questions. Readers learn what AIOps is and the value it can bring to an enterprise, and they see how security principles such as zero trust and recognized industry security frameworks can be built into DevOps through DevSecOps.

By the end, readers should be able to design robust DevOps architectures and identify which toolsets suit their implementation. The book also introduces Site Reliability Engineering as a more advanced way of extending DevOps.

The book is written for enterprise architects and consultants who need to design DevOps systems across an organization. It is not a guide to configuring the individual tools within the DevOps toolchain.
