Abstract
In today's fast-changing environment, many organizations are applying the DevOps (Development and Operations) concept to transform their IT functions and establish cross-functional IT teams to deliver software services quickly, reliably, and safely with end-to-end responsibility. The results of an empirical study on which this chapter is based presents platform-oriented, application-oriented, and mobile-oriented DevOps setups, outlining areas of potential collaboration between these DevOps setups and the importance of aligning the aims of development (process agility) and operations (process rigor). Based on the study, six indicators of successful DevOps integration formulated as recommendations for successful IT function transformation were identified.

Establishing Governance for Hybrid Cloud and the Internet of Things
This is an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library and is intended as a guide for describing the processes and procedures used to govern a technology environment, especially infrastructure and data centers. Included in this are the roles and delivery plans focused on topics such as incident, problem, and change management. ITIL advocates that IT services are aligned to the needs of the business and support its core processes. It provides guidance to organizations and individuals on how to use IT as a tool to facilitate business change, transformation and growth (What is ITIL Best Practice?, 2016). A large number of processes are addressed both for pre-delivery, runtime, operations, and post-delivery. This is not specific to an organization but is intended as a foundation for an organization to define their specific processes, procedures, roles, and delivery plans.
