A Software Architect’s Perspective

The First Complete Guide to Dev Ops for Software Architects Dev Ops promises to accelerate the release of new software features and improve monitoring of systems in production, but its crucial implications for software architects and architecture are often ignored. In Dev Ops: A Software Architect’s Perspective, three leading architects address these issues head-on. The authors review decisions software architects must make in order to achieve Dev Ops’ goals and clarify how other Dev Ops participants are likely to impact the architect’s work. They also provide the organizational, technical, and operational context needed to deploy Dev Ops more efficiently, and review Dev Ops’ impact on each development phase. The authors address cross-cutting concerns that link multiple functions, offering practical insights into compliance, performance, reliability, repeatability, and security. This guide demonstrates the authors’ ideas in action with three real-world case studies: datacenter replication for business continuity, management of a continuous deployment pipeline, and migration to a microservice architecture. Comprehensive coverage includes * Why Dev Ops can require major changes in both system architecture and IT roles * How virtualization and the cloud can enable Dev Ops practices * Integrating operations and its service lifecycle into Dev Ops * Designing new systems to work well with Dev Ops practices * Integrating Dev Ops with agile methods and TDD * Handling failure detection, upgrade planning, and other key issues * Managing consistency issues arising from Dev Ops’ independent deployment models * Integrating security controls, roles, and audits into Dev Ops * Preparing a business plan for Dev Ops adoption, rollout, and measurement
