DevOps Pipeline

For companies that develop software it is important that they are able to respond quickly to changes in demand. Therefore they need to be able to develop faster and at higher quality. This places high demands on the software development process.

DevOps helps organizations to streamline the development process by optimizing the flow of value from idea to end user. The DevOps cycle consists of 8 steps: Plan, Code, Build, Test, Release, Deploy, Operate and Monitor. Within each individual step there are (best) practice you can apply that help you in improving the DevOps cycle.

Delta-N created a scale model of a pipeline to visualize the DevOps process. It explains DevOps by guiding you through the eight steps of the DevOps cycle.

The scale model can be seen at the Microsoft headquarters at Schiphol. It is placed in the public area of the office.

The tour starts at the ‘funnel’ in the Plan-phase. Here the ideas are put into the process. After the most important ideas are selected we will go through to the next stage in the DevOps cycle.
