Everything is moving to the cloud. From public to private to hybrid, enterprises are adopting cloud technologies as their primary operating model. From Juniper’s perspective, a truly cloud-enabled enterprise is more than just how to make more money via a company’s Web site. Achieving a cloud enabled enterprise entails taking a holistic approach to involving the entire network. When it’s done right, a cloud-enabled enterprise results in the following three characteristics.

Enterprises can achieve rigorous IT security as well as improved DevOps practices and Cloud economics by taking a new, cloud-native approach to application delivery. Because the attack surface for cloud applications is dramatically different than for highly controlled data centers, a disciplined and multi-layered approach that spans all of your processes, staff, vendors and technologies is required. This may sound expensive and time consuming to achieve as you plan how to move selected applicati...

Even though you are running an agile development process, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your performance testing is being conducted in a truly agile way. Saving performance testing for a “final sprint” before release still treats it like a waterfall development step, with all the cost and risk that comes with that. In this post, we will show you how to make load testing happen early and often by putting SLAs on the agile task board.

DevOps has become synonymous with empowering developers to move faster and deliver more software, but has unintentionally moved software quality and testing into a corner. The pendulum that swings back and forth between very slow testing and staying far away from overly technical solutions has swung hard with DevOps, completely ignoring the value that testers can bring by forcing customers to test new code and creating teams that rely monitoring systems to find things that could have been caught...
This is the first DevOps book that shows a realistic and achievable view of the full implementation of DevOps. Most of the books and other literature I have read on DevOps are all about the culture, the attitudes, how it relates to Agile and Lean practices, and a high level view of microservices. This book includes all that, but they are not its main focus, and it goes several steps further with respect to the architecture and infrastructure needed for the implementation.
Last month, my partners in crime – Carmen DeArdo from Nationwide, Lee Reid, my colleague from IBM and I wrote a 3-part series of blog posts on DevOps.com. We titled our posts the Simple Math, Calculus and Art of DevOps. I would venture to say these are must-reads for any organization adopting DevOps. We examined all three ascpects – the Cultural, Automation and Process improvement side of DevOps. One of the key underlying themes of the three posts was the need for Cultural change – things like t...
I’ve encountered this a few times in the field when chatting with fellow marketers, even the most mature marketing organizations have made these mistakes. We aspire for exponential growth and to do it, we’ve adopted agile practices to fail-fast, learn from our mistakes and quickly rebound with another marketing concept that could be “the next big thing.” However, when I ask marketers about what they’d do if they really accomplished virality and if their ordering systems, websites, sales teams, e...
If your primary role within your organization is Operations, you likely realize the importance and significance of monitoring. The DevOps philosophy teaches us that measuring and collecting as much as possible is critical to not only the health of infrastructure, but it also plays a critical role in the architecting efforts of both software and hardware.
Jason Dixon of Librato knows this better than many and has made a career of helping others understand and implement the best tools and proce...
In my last post I discussed where to start when it comes to addressing the software-driven enterprise challenge head on as we see each industry's "disruption day" draw closer. In my view, perhaps the biggest challenge for the established players of the day - in the industrial revolution it was the cottage industries, today it is the incumbents in virtually every market - is one of change management, and the skills required in the new world order.
I love all this digital hullaballoo, really I do. I love all these different trends and disruptions and turmoil. I especially love the confusion – it gives me something to write about.
But sometimes, I’ve just had enough. Especially when the digital disruption story starts repeating itself.
A recent Wall Street Journal article discussed the challenges that online content publishers have in monetizing their content as more and more user traffic shifts to mobile devices from traditional desktop/laptop computers/browsers.
Data from Mary Meeker’s 2015 Internet trends report in particular shows that the time adult users in the US spend online per day on mobile is up 51%. And the article cites similar data showing that the time spent on mobile properties of certain publishers jumped 40%...
DevOps is becoming one of the most popular and widely adopted methodologies in the tech world. This is a statement we have all heard many times over, but who is actually using DevOps? A lot of major enterprises, that’s who. From government organizations to the biggest social media sites in the world, DevOps has been adopted by some of the most innovative IT teams in the world. Here is a list of the top 9 companies you wouldn’t expect using DevOps.
Since the first release of the Stacki Open Source project, it has seen the type of growth that one would expect of a cutting edge tool that makes operations lives easier. The number of active users continues to increase, as does the breadth of things they’re achieving with the world’s fastest open source Linux install tool. Several very prominent enterprises have joined the list of active users, and have asked for a range of enhancements. Stacki 2 incorporates many of these requests. More enterp...
TestPlant has released the results of its annual user survey, now in its fifth year.
Its 2014 survey revealed user experience as a top theme for test teams, but this year the focus is firmly on a shift happening among many companies who are actively integrating their quality assurance teams into the Agile development cycle. Agile has been mainstream in development teams for a few years now, but until recently, most test teams sat outside the Agile cycle. This lack of integration has for some t...
At Logentries, we feel strongly about the power of log data and the unparalleled role that logs can play in effective end-to-end system monitoring. Yet we feel it also important to recognize how other monitoring approaches can further supplement a log monitoring solution to provide even greater, actionable insight into system performance. One such approach is Application Performance Management (APM) and today we're excited to announce our first APM Community Pack.
Large organizations engaged in enterprise release management seldom have a single "enterprise release manager." Instead of a single, "enterprise-wide" responsibility, most large, decentralized organizations assign responsibility for more strategic, release management functions to several existing roles.
An enterprise release management practice supports and is supported by the following enterprise release management roles:
IT Portfolio Management - An efficient ERM practice provides portf...
“This is interesting—didn’t we see this same thing in the logs just before we crashed last time?” – an anonymous and somewhat embarrassed DevOps team member
Unfortunately the “same thing” is an obscure, otherwise uninteresting log entry, in a directory structure that’s rarely checked. More unfortunate is that the “last time” was two months ago, when their eCommerce site went down on Black Friday costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they had noticed this same entry but just now made the...
