In September we hosted the cLSA DevOps Excellence webinar as part of the CLSA Continuous Excellence Enablement (C2E) program that is focussed on targeted content for CLSA on platform topics and from a Pega 8 perspective. This webinar was focussed on DevOps and discussed development best practices, deployment manager and how to integrate with other (non Pega) DevOps tools.
The handout of the slides is added as an attachment (visible when you are logged in).
The Q&A from this webinar can be found here: CLSA Community Meetup: C2E DevOps Excellence (September 2021) Q&A | Support Center
Below the video’s several articles and academy courses are linked for your reference.
The recording of the session has been split in three separate videos and the presentations and demos are done by Ryan Feeney (Principal Software Engineer) and Tihomir Petrovic (Principal System Architect).
The first video is an introduction of DevOps; the why, what, and how. Next to that several development best practices supporting a DevOps lifestyle are shared.
The second video is a deep dive into what we call DevOps Made Easy and talks about the Pega Deployment Manager product and its features. Two demos are part of this video and a set of best practices.
The third video talks about Open DevOps; strategies and best practices on how to integrate existing -non Pega- DevOps tools with the Pega platform and deployment manager. This video concludes with a roadmap update.
