| azure devops change management: Learning Azure DevOps Myra Kelnor, 2024-08-04 To help cloud professionals make the most of the Azure DevOps platform, Learning Azure DevOps is a practical book that walks them through the process step-by-step. This book goes over all the bases of DevOps, including how to automate crucial tasks, deploy infrastructure as code (IaC), and set up and manage CI/CD pipelines. At the outset, the chapters will teach readers how to create Azure DevOps projects and link their repositories to VCSes like GitHub. Any application's build, test, and deployment processes, including Spring Boot's, can be automated with Azure Pipelines by configuring Pipeline as Code using YAML. To make sure that professionals can manage scalable, cloud-native apps, we also cover advanced topics like containerizing apps with Docker and deploying them to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and Postman, the book goes even further into automated testing to guarantee quality assurance and continuous testing. It teaches to automate backup and disaster recovery procedures for resilient operations and to use Flyway to perform schema migrations. Additionally, teams are guided to work efficiently together through Azure Boards, shared pipelines, and centralized infrastructure management, highlighting collaboration. Also covered is Azure DevOps Analytics, which readers can use to keep tabs on their projects and teams' performance using real-time dashboards. Key Learnings Integrate with Git for version control and set up Azure DevOps projects. Develop YAML-based Pipeline as Code to streamline the process of automating builds, tests, and deployments. Dockerize your apps and then launch them on AKS. Utilize Azure Boards and Project Boards to manage and monitor work items, tasks, and user stories. Add Postman, JUnit, and Mockito to your continuous integration pipelines to automate your application testing. Integrate Flyway into your Azure Pipelines to automate database schema migrations and achieve continuous delivery. Facilitate cross-team and cross-project cooperation by establishing shared pipelines and resources. Use Azure DevOps Analytics and performance insights for project management and monitoring. Deploy backups and failover procedures automatically in Azure DevOps. Use Terraform in conjunction with Azure Pipelines to deploy cloud-based IaC.

| azure devops change management: DevOps for the Modern Enterprise Mirco Hering, 2018-04-03 Many organizations are facing the uphill battle of modernizing their legacy IT infrastructure. Most have evolved over the years by taking lessons from traditional or legacy manufacturing: creating a production process that puts the emphasis on the process instead of the people performing the tasks, allowing the organization to treat people like resources to try to achieve high-quality outcomes. But those practices and ideas are failing modern IT, where collaboration and creativeness are required to achieve high-performing, high-quality success. Mirco Hering, a thought leader in managing IT within legacy organizations, lays out a roadmap to success for IT managers, showing them how to create the right ecosystem, how to empower people to bring their best to work every day, and how to put the right technology in the driver's seat to propel their organization to success. But just having the right methods and tools will not magically transform an organization; the cultural change that is the hardest is also the most impactful. Using principles from Agile, Lean, and DevOps as well as first-hand examples from the enterprise world, Hering addresses the different challenges that legacy organizations face as they transform into modern IT departments. |

Evan Leybourn, co-founder and CEO, Business Agility Institute Agile methods have brought about dramatic changes in how organizations manage and deliver not only IT services, but their entire product and service value streams. As legacy organizations transition to newer, end-to-end agile operating models, the Project Management Office (PMO) needs to redesign its mission and operation to be more in line with these modern ways of working. That requires being more customer-focused and value-adding, and less hidebound, bureaucratic and tied to antiquated processes and mindsets. Visionary leaders are transitioning into enablers of this change, and maximizing value through the entire organization. Middle management, including program and project managers (PMs), are racing to maximize their professional relevancy in this new world. This book defines the role of the agile value management office (VMO), using case studies and a clear road map to help PMs visualize and implement a new path where middle management and the VMO are valued leaders in the age of business agility. |
