Three key areas for automating DevOps are creation, testing, and deployment. Start by determining the tasks that can be repeated. Review the current processes and check if there are steps within that process that can be repeated. This may be a task that is done daily, monthly, or across projects, but be sure to evaluate the tasks that will be performed consistently over time.
A task may already be part of a process, but avoid trying to automate the process too much all at once. It's easier to determine milestones and set goals for completion if you set clear tasks instead of trying to change an entire process with many steps that can be automated. During this phase, working to be clear about the tasks that need to be automated instead of doing so in a global process will facilitate the task of “classifying” development projects by “priority”.
