15. DevOps Facilitates Measurement and Visualization
 Automates build, test, and deployment across environments
 Helps measure and visualize throughput and stability

17. DevOps Measures
 Throughput Measures
– Deployment Frequency – How frequently organization deploys code
– Deployment Lead Time - Time required for changes to go from “code
committed” to code successfully running in production.
 Stability Measures
– Mean time to recover (MTTR) -Time required to restore service when a service
incident occurs (e.g., unplanned outage, service impairment, etc.).

18. Qualities of High Performing Orgs
 High performing organizations such as Amazon, Google, Facebook,
Twitter, Netflix demonstrate:
– Reliability
– Stability
– Security
– Customer responsiveness
Processes and techniques followed by these organizations have come to
be known as DevOps

31. DevOps Transformation Benefits
Before DevOps Transformation After DevOps Transformation
Product teams practicing continuous integration not
continuous deployment
Product teams leverage DevOps in their SDLC
Manual deployment processes that took days/months Automated deployment process that takes minutes
Inconsistent deployment cycles that depend on tribal
knowledge, guess work and persistence (prone to error)
Consistent deployment cycles that leverages knowledge
codified as jobs
Deployments would require teams from multiple locations
Deployments depend upon code repositories and
Jobs executed on a pipeline

32. Ellucian DevOps Next Steps
 Move Banner to RDS Oracle
 Make Banner elastic and highly available (multi-AZ support)
 Reduce license cost
– Move from WebLogic to Tomcat
– Run Tomcat on CentOS
 Replicate sessions on Tomcat instances to hold sessions during scale
down
 Game changing

33. Cloud + DevOps = High Performance Orgs
 Embody experts knowledge into playbooks to eliminate bottlenecks,
increase innovation, and reduce time to market
 Create ephemeral/immutable infrastructure to keep your costs low
 Infrastructure that scales up and down on-demand to offer reliable
service to customers
