Assist in implementing DevOps software lifecycle management processes

​

This standard is about assisting in implementing software lifecycle management processes.

This involves supporting DevOps (integrated development and operations) processes as part of a team, monitoring live system performance and implementing fast cycle software deployment as part of a continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipeline.

This includes monitoring live containerised software environments for availability and performance, and responding to issues through troubleshooting. It also includes preparing deployment scripts and supporting the automation of deployment processes.

This standard covers the competencies needed to implement the DevOps infrastructure to support the development and deployment of new or updated digital products or services using the DevOps approach. It is for those who need to assist in implementing software lifecycle management as part of their duties.
