LIFE SAVERS

14. Git is great with branches and cross platform, it has become an industry standard
Gitflow is a great process for DevOps teams and allows them to scale seemlessly
GOOD SCM PRACTICES IS KEY
Git is a decentralized source control technology
Branches are cheap
Merging is not a nightmare
Cross platform
Lot of tools
Git flow is a process model for branch management

Easy context switching
Standard and no thinking required

15. Pull requests are a great way to help your team grow and to improve the quality of the
code
PEER REVIEWS AND QUALITY

The team to grow together

16. Automation of almost everything is a key to your DevOps team success and productivity
AUTOMATE AND FAIL FASTER
Automated Unit tests ran every build
Allow team to fail faster and to catch runtime issues earlier
Automated Builds on every push/PR
Allow team to leverage a great toolset and avoids broken code
Automated Releases on new builds
Allow team to ship faster, with less errors, effortless and more often
Automated Notifications
Allow team to focus on creating value, not updating people

17. Versioning not only the binaries but also configuration and service template will allow
you to deploy any version with great fidelity and enable test in production as well as
advanced debugging scenarios
VERSION EVERYTHING
Configuration should be automated/versioned
Avoid a great source of errors
Allows rapid deployment of specific versions with corresponding configuration
Code should be Packaged, even if not a library
Allows rapid solution deployment
Allows solution « composition »
Service provisioning should rely on templates
