In this introductory webinar session, we developed how DevOps is improving the agility and the performance of a development organisation, emphasizing on how those practices enable to meet the demands of the business. The benefits of using AWS in the context of DevOps are also covered, along with the cost impact. We also explain practical case studies and outline the areas that will be developed in the following sessions.

2. “The term “DevOps” typically refers to the emerging professional
movement that advocates a collaborative working relationship
between Development and IT Operations, resulting in the fast
flow of planned work (i.e., high deploy rates), while
simultaneously increasing the reliability, stability, resilience
and security of the production environment.”

40. “…AWS
seemed
to
be
the
best
solution
available
to
allow
a
small,
independent
company
to
rapidly
develop
and
test
a
completely
new
infrastructure,
and
host
it.
!
We
also
loved
the
flexibility
that
AWS
allowed
us,
when
spinning
up
smaller
test
environments,
for
beta
trials,
QA,
localization,
and
during
development.
The
low
initial
cost
was
also
crucial.”
