DevOps is the continuous delivery of software-driven
innovation
Speed: need more
frequent releases and
functionality refreshed
Quality: brand being
represented and evaluated
constantly
Cost: on-going focus,
but delivered as a by-
product
DevOps:
§ Addresses all aspects of the Software Delivery Lifecycle
§ Does not equal Cloud/Tools, but frequently leverages cloud technology enablers
§ Has become a strategic imperative largely due to the fundamentally different SDLC process
requirements needed to support Systems of Engagement

Prioritization – A cloud readiness assessment shows
35% of existing workloads can be moved to cloud
More ready for cloud May be ready for cloud Not ready for cloud
