7. DevOps – What is DevOps?
• Development + Operations = DevOps
• DevOps is a culture, movement or
practice that emphasizes the collaboration
and communication of both software
developers and other information-
technology (IT) professionals while
automating the process of software
delivery and infrastructure changes.
• It aims at establishing a culture and
environment where building, testing , and
releasing software, can happen rapidly,
frequently, and more reliably.

8. Our Challenges
Dev
Ops
• Gaps between Dev and Ops
• Developers
• Mostly concerned about faster
feature delivery time
• Operations
• Mostly concerned about system
stability and impact from
changes
• The left hand doesn’t know what the
right hand is doing
• Slow hardware acquisition
• Difficult capacity planning
10. DevOps – Our Approach
• AWS
• Relieve Ops from ”unplanned work”
• CloudWatch enables us to monitor real-time health and performance of the
resources
• More computing power when you need it, less when you don’t
• Detail billing records enable us make better capacity planning and
budgeting
• Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
• Faster feature turn around time
• Leverage AWS CloudFormation and OpsWorks heavily
• Infrastructure as code and configuration as code
• RD/Development now take full responsibility for the entire stack

18. Lessons Learned
• CloudFormation
• Use CloudFormation to manage all of your resources if
possible (Not all AWS resources supported yet)
• Difficult dynamic referencing between stacks
• Parameterize as much as possible
• Keep an eye on your limits
• Opsworks
• Need to be familiar with Chef
• Limited built-in Windows support
• Limited auto-scaling support
