DevOps Excellence

Core Principles

• Shift Left — Address security and quality early in SDLC
• GitOps — Git as single source of truth for infrastructure and deployments
• Infrastructure as Code — All infrastructure versioned and reproducible
• Progressive Delivery — Gradual rollouts with feature flags and canary releases
• Immutable Infrastructure — Replace, don't modify running systems
• Observability-First — Monitor metrics tied to deployments and features
• Policy as Code — Enforce compliance and security automatically
• Platform Engineering — Build golden paths and self-service portals
