Without DevOps, unforeseen challenges can plague the production environment, wreaking havoc with deadlines, deliverables, and ultimately the business mission. In this course you'll learn about optimizing flow, beginning with the six principles of flow: make work visible, limit work in progress, reduce batch sizes, optimize the process to reduce the number of handoffs, continually identify and elevate constraints, and eliminate waste in the value stream. Then you'll discover the effect of DevOps on optimizing flow, how infrastructure configuration management can be applied, common tools used for configuration management of infrastructure, and the deployment pipeline as part of infrastructure as code. Finally, you'll explore examples of deployment pipelines, how to improve flow by integrating security, and the role of automating steps in the deployment pipeline. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discuss the basic principles of flow

    Describe the fifth principle of flow, continually identify and elevate constraints
    Discuss the sixth principle of flow, eliminate waste in the value stream
    Identify the way to apply principles of flow to your value chain
    Describe the dramatic nature of devops on optimizing flow
  • Discuss how infrastructure as code helps to optimize flow
    Describe how infrastructure configuration management can be applied to how infrastructure is managed
    Identify common tools used for configuration management of infrastructure
    Describe the deployment pipeline as part of the infrastructure as code paradigm
    Discuss examples of deployment pipelines
    Describe a basic example of an application software deployment pipeline
    Discuss how to improve flow by integrating security into the deployment pipeline
    Describe the role and benefits of automating steps in the deployment pipeline
