Over the past year, Microsoft has been introducing Azure Resource Manager
(ARM) as the preferred way to provision and manage resources in its Azure
cloud. ARM is the successor to the original Service Management model, also
known as "Classic."[1] While Classic will continue to be supported for the
foreseeable future, ARM is the preferred deployment model and all new Azure
features are being released on ARM only. Here is an overview ARM and the new
features it provides.
ARM introduces the concept of "Resource Groups" and "Templates." Resource
Groups are a simple way to manage and group related resources. In addition to
simplifying the management of related resources, they also simplify
accounting, security and auditing of your Azure deployment. Resource Manager
Templates give Azure administrators a very powerful tool that they can
leverage to rapidly deploy complex e... (more)

DevOps in an Open and Heterogeneous World
Keeping pace with advancements in software delivery processes and tooling is
taxing even for the most proficient organizations. Point tools, platforms,
open source and the increasing adoption of private and public cloud services
requires strong engineering rigor - all in the face of developer demands to
use the tools of choice. As Agile has settled in as a mainstream practice,
now DevOps has emerged as the next wave to improve software delivery speed
and output. To make DevOps work, organizations must focus on what is most
relevant to d... (more)

Mar. 4, 2016 03:00 PM EST Reads: 709 | By Liz McMillan  WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was.
You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

DevOps bridges the gap between Development and Operations to accelerate software delivery and increase business agility and time-to-market. With its roots in the Agile movement, DevOps fosters collaboration between teams and streamlines processes, with the goal of breaking silos in order to “go fast.”
Information Security (InfoSec) and compliance are critical to businesses across the globe, especially given past examples of data breaches and looming cybersecurity threats. InfoSec has long been ...
Early (very early, in fact) in the rise of SDN there were many discussions around scalability. Not of the data plane, but of the control (management) plane. Key to this discussion was the rate at which SDN-enabled network devices, via OpenFlow, could perform “inserts”. That is, how many times per second/minute could the management plane make the changes necessary to adjust to the environment.
It was this measurement that turned out to be problematic, with many well-respected networking pundits ...
As we move into the world of complete datacenter automation, there is a whole new selection of issues that we are learning to resolve – from custom hardware to a variety of provisioning tools at each level of automation. These are not unexpected issues, but they certainly provide us with plenty to do while we’re trying to reduce the amount of busy work we have to do.
We’re currently in the process of stringing together applications at the various layers to do server provisioning, application ...
When major companies start getting into the nitty gritty of updating their software delivery processes, governance always pokes its head into the mix. The ability to control and secure a software release has traditionally been a hands-on experience due to its many complexities. But at what costs?
As more software delivery processes become automated, the traditional manual processes used for corporate governance are creating bottlenecks that slow down software releases and promote inefficiency. ...
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 l...
If you work for a large company, you'll often look around and wonder if moving to a daily release cycle or automating deployments is even possible given the number of meetings and the amount of process your releases are subject to. Between the CAB meetings, the QA schedules, and the coordinated conference calls it's tough to imagine a monthly release process being condensed down to a process that could run in a single day. For most organizations dealing with real risk - it's true - you will not...
Agile software development is slowly but surely becoming the norm for a significant contingency of software developers. What used to be rigid, step-by-step processes that were siloed between specific teams have transformed into a collaborative, adaptive methodology that ultimately leads to the creation of superior solutions.
As an integral component of software development, agile test management has also been evolving to be more accommodating to agile processes. Testing automation in particular...
The now mainstream platform changes stemming from the first Internet boom brought many changes but didn’t really change the basic relationship between servers and the applications running on them. In fact, that was sort of the point.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Gordon Haff, senior cloud strategy marketing and evangelism manager at Red Hat, will discuss how today’s workloads require a new model and a new platform for development and execution. The platform must handle a wide range of rec...
Modern software delivery involves many teams, each with their own preferred “tools of the trade” for building, testing and deploying code.
This morning on #c9d9, we talked about the value of integrating these teams and tools in a way that provides shared visibility and control across the end-to-end process with…. (drum roll please) orchestration!
We talked about the differences between orchestration and automation, the value that orchestration provides in regulated industries, and how to f...
Alexandre Dumas’s classic portrayal of a young man seeking to join the elite guard of his day seems an unlikely source of inspiration for a blog post about digital performance management, but there’s something about groups of three — each balancing the others’ strengths and weaknesses — that makes a great team.
And, while most operators today might view digital systems monitoring in terms of two players — synthetic and real users — there is a third member of the team that turns performance moni...
How well do you know your code?
It sounds like a strange question, but please indulge me.
Maybe you're a manager or business analyst. If this is the case, you ‘know' the code through a translation layer in which the developers in your organization explain what it does. Sometimes you can see what it does by interacting with it as a user or by reading incident reports.
But to really know and understand what it would do - to have a grasp on how it will behave in an arbitrary situation - you ...
The State of API 2016 Report revealed some important findings about the growth, opportunities, challenges, and processes for the API industry in 2016.

Continue reading this week's top posts to see where the DevOps journey is heading, and what are some of the trends, tools and practices that are emerging to assure quality, speed and security of your releases. As always, stay tuned to all the news coming 
A headline theme underpinning the goal of telcos becoming ‘Digital Operation Centres of the Future‘ is the adoption of already proven best practices from the enterprise market.
This makes sense given that community is now well into their Cloud migration programs, with ‘unicorns’ like Netflix and Uber Taxis at the forefront of this innovation wave, very far ahead at the very cutting edge where these new ideas are first proven in practice.
By this I mean that they not only pioneered the concept ...
Since the beginning of time we have passed on knowledge by word of mouth, from generation to generation. Tribal knowledge is not written down and relies heavily on the memory and the availability of the person passing it on.
Unfortunately tribal knowledge - defined as unwritten information that is not commonly known by others - is still in use in many organizations including IT Operations, and more specifically for workload automation. Workflow descriptions, script configuration, error paths,...
"Complexity" is often viewed as a negative. This is perhaps even more the case at scale, where some degree of complexity is unavoidable. Any unnecessary complexity, states the conventional wisdom, is public enemy number one. But does that wisdom ring true? Let's look a little closer at the contours and implications of complexity at scale.
We're trained to avoid complexity when we design systems, and call systems with poor architecture "too complex." If you've worked in any large IT organization...
