DevOps aims to support IT’s need to build better quality software, much faster and more frequently. Today’s complex mainframe applications, specialized technical teams and sophisticated software change management procedures, are difficult to change quickly without risk. And that’s a problem, because in the mainframe world, speed without certainty is ‘failure’.
Building Enterprise-grade DevOps practices in support of mainframe systems needs careful thought. What better then, than to take a checklist of what works, and what doesn’t, based on real industry stories. We will discuss the customer challenge, look at the objectives of the change, and reveal the needed technology solution to build a secure and scalable mainframe DevOps process.
