Have you thought about using the Atlassian toolset to support DevOps practices?
Would you like to benefit from the experience of other organisations who have done the same as well as have access to best practice advice?
No policy or document will replace a direction and cultural shift across the whole organisation if you are serious about implementing DevOps practices. Configuring or implementing the Atlassian toolset is only a part of much bigger work your organisation will take on as part of implementing DevOps practices.
It is important when staring an initiative like this to consider:
- Is your DevOps initiative driven from the grassroots or executive level?
- How would you describe how your dev and ops teams share tools?
- How would you describe the organisational and team structure for developing your products?
- What is your organisational structure around service delivery?
- Is there friction between development and operations teams?
TechTime can help through consultancy, setting up Atlassian DevOps Simulation Workshop, providing configuration and technical services as well as expert advice.
Atlassian alignment to DevOps
If we map out the Atlassian toolset from a DevOps perspective, Atlassian toolset is the 'operating system' for DevOps collaboration.
Highly integrated Atlassian products allow IT, ops and development teams to realise the 3 ways of DevOps:
- Think as a system
- Experiment and learn and
- Encourage feedback.
Atlassian toolset, when combined with collaboration and a healthy culture, enables DevOps.
In addition, using Data Centre products provides deployment flexibility, authentication, control, high availability and performance for mission-critical teams.
It’s fully geared for enterprise requirements including complete control of your environment, active-active clustering for high availability, disaster recovery, Jira Project archiving for improved performance, etc.
