DevOps Frameworks
Like every movement or philosophy, DevOps frameworks guide practitioners to implement the practices effectively and efficiently.
CALMS Framework
The CALMS Framework was originally shared by Jez Humble in “The DevOps Handbook”. The acronym stands for Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, and Sharing.
Team Topologies
In their book, “Team Topologies”, Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais define four fundamental team types and the concept of “change of flow”. When applied to DevOps, we see the anti-pattern of merely slapping “DevOps” onto the team name or job title to create a “DevOps Team” or a “DevOps Engineer”. Instead, team topologies helps organizations understand how their practices and tools fit into the big picture.
Team structures
While software teams may be on the path to practicing DevOps, not every team shares the same goals, or uses the same practices and tools. Read more about how to structure your team to accelerate DevOps practices.
DORA Metrics
DevOps practitioners rely on four key metrics, developed by DORA, to measure the efficacy of their DevOps practices.
Lead time for changes: What is the lead-time for code changes from the point when code is checked in to the point it is released to production?
Deployment frequency: How often and how fast do you ship to production?
Time to restore service: When an incident is detected, how long does it take to remediate and restore the service?
Change failure rate: How often do deployment failures occur in production that require immediate remedy or rollback?
