What is DevOps
No matter what you think of the
DevOps movement, two things are
certain: The full definition of DevOps
can be remarkably hard to pin down,
but the basic premise of development
and operations collaborating closely
leads to higher quality applications.
DevOps is a response to a continual
frustration: a lack of collaboration and
communication between development
and operations on software projects
that increase the cost , time and labor
involved in delivering and maintaining
software systems.

Continuous Delivery
Continuous Delivery (CD) is the automated implementation of build, deploy , test ,
release and monitoring processes.

CD approach involves continuous automation of build, deployment, testing &

release activities with the following goals
To make the process efficient & reliable
Make process more visible
Enable automated testing
Ensure quality is built into the process

What DevOps Means To Database

With DevOps gaining momentum , DBAs and database developers need to
include database in the continuation process.
DevOps for Database requires best practices just like source code.

Deployment practices need to be enforced

Version control needs to be enforced

Automated notifications and red flags

Safe automation process needs to be deployed

Environment provisioning with standards

What DevOps Means To Database

The key driver to DevOps movement is the traditional tension between
developers and IT operations:

Developers want continuous enhancement and releasing of software for meeting

schedule targets

IT operations want stability and controlled change for meeting reliability, low risk and
high performance targets. In particular, DBAs are used to rigorously manage the
hardware behind their instances, stewarding previous data, and cautiously examining
code to prevent that late night unplanned outage.

So, DevOps is an approach intended to remove the conflicts of those two groups
and to provide stabilizing delivery via common objectives, roadmaps and finally
effective collaboration.

What is Tending?
Adopting DevOps principals
Increasing interest in Open Source automation (chef, puppet .. )
Forward thinking with technologies hybrid mind-set

Single click application deployments

Automation & Cloud adoption & DbaaS
Increasing focus on standardization

Design new age of automation with administrators

Shifting towards workflow design and runbooks implementation

DBAs Life With & Without DevOps

Past

Now

High lead time for enabling hardware resources

More standardization of processes

More resources required to perform complex tasks

Less time to enabling hardware resources

Small market for Open Source tools

Less resources required to perform complex tasks

Less & non-trusted automation

Abundance of Open Source tools in market

More opportunities for human errors

Organized and trusted automation

Specialized knowledge bank

Less chances of human errors

Less ROI of resources

High ROI of resources

Less handshake b/w Dev & Ops

More handshake b/w Dev & Ops

DevOps For DBAs

There are lot many activities which can be brought under DevOps
umbrella from database admin perspective . Activities which I could
think off are..
Setups and configurations
Database instance provisioning
Database refresh and cloning
Reporting
Backups etc.
