ADAM : Método Ágil para Adopción de estrategias de DevOps

Abstract

This research paper focuses on the concept of DevOps. DevOps is the acronym Development and Operations English and consists of a set of Practices to improve automation and monitoring at all steps of the Software construction, from integration, testing and deployment, to Configuration and management of the infrastructure required for the software works properly.

Good practices are implemented in many industrial development projects of DevOps without leveraging engineering methods, which leads to implement practices that are unnecessary for the project, or fail to implement other practices that They improve the different stages of this. This paper presents the adoption method of DevOps called Agile DevOps Adoption Methodology (ADAM). The method consists of in a series of activities that are implemented on a cyclical basis, starting with the identification of the current state of DevOps adoption, following the creation of the backlog of good DevOps practices, following the definition of the objectives of service level, service level indicators, and finally practices of Monitoring and observability to measure the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method of We evaluate adoption in the case of a web application for the design of products called VariaMos. The results obtained allowed us to conclude on the speed and level of automation of ADAM adoption process management. In the evaluation, we found that using ADAM deployment times and lead time (lead time) decreased by more than 500%, compared to a Deploy without any method and executed manually. In addition, the use of ADAM does not affected the quality of the product with which the method was evaluated; which has allowed a Greater product evolution and improved confidence on the part of end users. In addition, maintenance costs are reduced by 50%. In the results obtained we also found that the time to DevOps adoption is much longer at the start of the project, but as the practices are adopted, the time is reduced. These Results constitute a first empirical evidence of the potential of the method ADAM proposed in this paper on improving the adoption of DevOps in the construction of Web applications.
