DevOps and the Age of Cloud Craftsmanship
Five years ago development was seen as a dead-end career, now it's anything
but - with an explosion in mobile and IoT initiatives increasing the demand
for skilled engineers. But apart from having a ready supply of great coders,
what constitutes true ‘DevOps Royalty'? It'll be the ability to craft
resilient architectures, supportability, security everywhere across the
software lifecycle.
In his keynote at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Jeffrey Scheaffer, GM and
SVP, Continuous Delivery Business Unit at CA Technologies, will share his
vision about the true ‘DevOps Royalty' and how it will take a new breed of
digital cloud craftsman, architecting new platforms with a new set of tools
to achieve it. He will also present a number of important insights and

DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in
enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and
increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes
more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the ‘digital
exhaust' from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing,
APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things,
and now even blockchain.

Is NoOps the End of DevOps? Think Again
By Jordan Bach
Automation, a key pillar of the DevOps movement, frees IT operations to focus
on higher-level work and collaborate with cross-functional teams. But what if
your automation is so good that developers don’t need you anymore?
Mike Gualtieri of Forrester Research coined the term NoOps in his
controversial blog post “I don’t want DevOps. I want NoOps.” In the
post, Gualtieri says, “NoOps means that application developers will never
have to speak with an operations professional again.”
During his time as a Cloud Architect at Netflix, Adrian Cockcroft expanded on
the definition of NoOps in his blog post “Ops, DevOps, and PaaS (NoOps) at
Netflix.” “There is no ops organization involved in running our cloud, no
need for the developers to interact with ops people to get things done, and
less time spent actually doing ops t... (more)

May. 3, 2017 03:45 PM EDT Reads: 3,588 | By Liz McMillan  New competitors, disruptive technologies, and growing expectations are pushing every business to both adopt and deliver new digital services. This ‘Digital Transformation’ demands rapid delivery and continuous iteration of new competitive services via multiple channels, which in turn demands new service delivery techniques – including DevOps. In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit 20th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Co-Chair Andi Mann, panelists will examine how DevOps helps to meet the demands of Digital Transformation – including accelerating application delivery, closing feedback loops, enabling multi-channel delivery, empowering collaborative decisions, improving user experience, and ultimately meeting (and exceeding) business goals.

Technology innovation is the driving force behind modern business and enterprises must respond by increasing the speed and efficiency of software delivery. The challenge is that existing enterprise applications are expensive to develop and difficult to modernize. This often results in what Gartner calls "Bimodal IT," where business struggle to apply modern tools and practices to traditional monolithic applications.

Effective collaboration and communication are highly valued by the DevOps culture, and it's been like that for a reason. It is an industry where even departments within the same company tend to distrust one another, and where distributed offices full of crucial roles are the norm. Thus, any possible positive improvement in the interaction between people is welcomed, especially for an organization where several moving parts need to collaborate in order to create a product on time and within a bud...
Performance testing is a form of software testing that focuses on how a system running the system performs under a particular load. This is not about finding software bugs or defects. Performance testing measures according to benchmarks and standards. Performance testing should give developers the diagnostic information they need to eliminate bottlenecks. To understand how software will perform on users' systems, there different types of performance tests that can be applied during software test...
When it comes to measuring the success of your DevOps rollout, it can be challenging to identify the right metrics that will provide intelligence while avoiding the trap of vanity metrics that indicate action—but not necessarily progress—towards the outcome you’re looking for.
In my experience, the most valuable metric of all is the lead time between when you make a commit in source control and when that change makes it to your consumers. Some very mature organizations have even been able to li...
The complex idea behind the term digital transformation is that technology has created a fundamental shift in how organizations operate. The consumerization of technology — and the customer empowerment it created — has upended the traditional operating paradigm of organizations moving it away from a capital and process-centric model to a customer-centric one.
The need to digitally transform your organization is now - or at least should be - a strategic imperative. The fact, however, that the te...
My son is 14 yrs old. I've been consistently trying to encourage him to do two things. One, think ahead to the next logical outcome and two, do it right the first time. When he helps with projects around the house, he has a tendency to get it to an "almost complete" state. For example, recently he went out and mowed the backyard. I told him beforehand to move some brush (thorny rose trimmings) that needed burning, so that he could completely mow the yard. At the end of the day, he comes in with ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become very popular in the lives of people, and in enterprises globally. While it began as a novelty, more innovative and mission-critical use cases have been popping up lately. With the sheer variety of IoT devices available, the large amount of data that’s generated, and the various security vulnerabilities, companies that make IoT devices face a host of challenges that an incident resolution platform can help with. If you’re building an IoT system t...
A Man in the Middle attack, or MITM, is a situation wherein a malicious entity can read/write data that is being transmitted between two or more systems (in most cases, between you and the website that you are surfing). MITMs are common in China, thanks to the “Great Cannon.”
The “Great Cannon” is slightly different from the “The Great Firewall.” The firewall monitors web traffic moving in and out of China and blocks prohibited content.
The Great Cannon, on the other hand, acts as a man in the...

Step into any boardroom and the talk is all about speed and quality: How to accelerate the delivery of innovative new products and services, while improving the quality of existing ones. When this question is asked, all eyes turn to the CIO: How can IT bring business velocity to both the software lifecycle and the digital business, end-to-end from digital touchpoint to system of record?
Business is demanding better, faster delivery of value from IT so it can compete in a market that’s moving at breakneck speed. How can IT accelerate business outcomes if it’s taking nine months to complete projects?
First and most important, align IT teams with business goals: acquire new customers, retain current customers, and boost revenue. When IT understands its role and significance in supporting those outcomes, it will earn a seat at the executive table
Try to remember something that happened on your last vacation. How long did it take you to recall? Now, try to remember it again. You were probably able to recall it faster the second time— but, why? This is because as soon as you recalled the event the first time, your brain saved the information to your recent memory.
The same concept applies to caching. Caching is a way of temporarily storing the contents of a webpage in locations near the user, similar to the way our memory works. There are...
