After more than five years of DevOps, definitions are evolving, boundaries are expanding, ‘unicorns’ are no longer rare, enterprises are on board, and pundits are moving on. Can we now look at an evolution of DevOps? Should we? Is the foundation of DevOps ‘done’, or is there still too much left to do? What is mature, and what is still missing? What does the next 5 years of DevOps look like?
In this Power Panel at DevOps Summit, moderated by DevOps Summit Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists looked back at what DevOps has become, and forward at what it might create next.

Most everyone in Cloud IT circles has realized the power of containerization and that companies are adopting Docker containers at a remarkable rate. There are many good reasons for this, such as easily setting up dev/test scenarios (DevOps), and building out sophisticated, distributed computing clusters. But there are some deeper questions this talk will address from the Microsoft perspective. For example, what is the future of Windows in a containerized world? How will Windows and Linux work together in Azure?

I recently attended DevOpsDays Boston, where I had the pleasure of listening to a presentation by Katie Rose, a professional women’s football player. Her presentation on how her team works together to achieve their goals brought up the idea that DevOps is most definitely a team sport. While many of us were happy to leave our team sport activities at the middle or high school level, the lessons we learned from working together are becoming increasingly significant in today’s tech world.
With live TV, there is no room for error. There’s no reset button. Any mistake can have a catastrophic effect on their brand. If during the World Series or the Super Bowl or a Presidential debate a system fails to handle the capacity or load – it would affect millions of people around the country. Simply put, it’s a front page news story waiting to happen.
Continuous innovation is a concept that has taken hold with internet companies such as Amazon, Netflix, eBay, Google and countless other con...
The iteration of constraints and initial conditions that drive and influence self-organization within the enterprise is the actual role of an architect who is architecting emergent behavior – in particular, business agility. You may call such activities something else – management practice or some such – and to be sure, we must reinvent management practice along the same lines as EA. But whatever we call it, there needs to be an understanding that creating the conditions that lead to effective s...
Day 1 of Cloud Expo in Santa Clara, California opened with an inspiring keynote from Jason Bloomberg, president of Intellyx, and industry expert on architecting agility for enterprise environments.
The ProfitBricks team was especially impressed with Jason’s talk about how digital transformation involves more organizational change than simple technology change and how today’s businesses need to capitalize on disruption to not only innovate at a more rapid pace but also drive organizational wide ...
People want to get going with DevOps or Continuous Delivery, but need a place to start. Others are already on their way, but need some validation of their choices. A few months ago, I published the first volume of DevOps and Continuous Delivery reference architectures which has now been viewed over 50,000 times on SlideShare (it's free to download...no registration required). Three things helped people in the deck: (1) the reference architectures, (2) links to the sources for each architectur...
Those investing in DevOps models specifically can expect to improve their security, compliance, and risk-mitigation outcomes.
This next BriefingsDirect DevOps thought leadership discussion explores the impact of improved development on security and how those investing in DevOps models specifically can expect to improve their security, compliance, and risk-mitigation outcomes.
It is an unwritten rule that web/app servers should never, ever pushed to 100% capacity.
Never.
Ignoring this unwritten rule will invariably result in the phenomenon we’ll call “up for thee but not for me”, which is simply the situation in which a web site or app responds to the guy in the next cube – but not for you.
Ever since the dawn of the Internet, people have struggled with how to get one computer to talk to another. Early business systems had no provision for such interactions. They were entirely closed— worlds unto themselves.
As enterprises set up early networks, the question of how to get applications to interact with each other became a pressing business concern, and led to the introduction of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). A client computer might directly interact with the program running on a...
The move to DevOps also introduces additional constraints to our burgeoning Iron Polygon, as individual projects become less distinct. In an environment focused on continuous automated testing as well as continuous integration and deployment, individual iterations become the project unit as organizations establish regular cadences of repeated iterations (link is external) instead of the discrete, monolithic project releases that characterize traditional waterfall-oriented development.
No one should need to be convinced the value of good data. It gives you the confidence to make decisions quickly and with less risk, it allows you to measure your success, and it lets you know when you need to adjust your course. But there’s a difference between knowing the value of data, and creating a culture around it. A data-driven culture is a culture where everyone quantifies their actions as much as possible, and asks themselves how their teams are having a tangible impact on the business...
Martin Fowler describes how infrastructure automation is a key enabler of microservices:
“Many of the products or systems being build with microservices are being built by teams with extensive experience of Continuous Delivery and it’s precursor, Continuous Integration. Teams building software this way make extensive use of infrastructure automation techniques. This is illustrated in the build pipeline shown below.”
Test-Driven Development is a great tool for functional testing, but can you apply the same technique to performance testing? Why not? The purpose of TDD is to build out small unit tests, or scenarios, under which you control your initial coding. Your tests will fail the first time you run them because you haven’t actually developed any code. But once you do start coding, you’ll end up with just enough code to pass the test. There’s no reason the same philosophy can’t be applied to performance te...
Node.js has been in the industry a long time and yet the conversations about it never seem to slow down. So what’s all the fuss about? What makes Node.js different from other programming languages and environments out there?
Take a look at the infographic below and discover what!
BTW: You should know that Monitis has Node.js monitoring in its suite of application monitoring services. So if you’re building innovative mobile and web applications in the Node.js platform, you’ll certainly appr...
