View DevOps Power Panel ▸ Here DevOps Patterns and Anti-Patterns: How to Do the Right Things in the Real World In the world of DevOps there are ‘known good practices' - aka ‘patterns' - and ‘known bad practices' - aka ‘anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene. In this Power Panel [email protected] at 18th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Chair Andi Mann, Dan Choquette, Founder of RackN; Charles Kendrick, CTO & Chief Architect of Isomorphic Software; and Himanshu Chhetri, CTO of Addteq discussed the patterns and anti-patterns of DevOps, and what it means to ‘do the right thing' in a DevOps way, but in the real world.

DevOps Five Years Later: What Does the Future Hold? 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.

[video] Three Pillars of #DevOps | @DevOpsSummit @AndiMann #DX #Serverless #Monitoring

While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input. In order to actively drive cultural evolution, organizations must make substantial organizational and process changes, and adopt new technologies, to encourage a DevOps culture. In this DevOps Summit Power Panel - moderated by Andi Mann, founder of Sageable - Shannon Williams, co-founder of Rancher Labs; Haseeb Budhani,  co-founder and CEO of Soha; and Dalibor Siroky, Director and co-founder at Plutora; discussed how to balance these three pillars of DevOps, where to focus attention (and resources), where organizations might slip up with the wrong focus, how to manage change and risk in all three areas, what is possible and what is not, where to start, and especially how new structures, processes, and ...

What Is Regression Testing? | @DevOpsSummit @Stackify #SDLC #AI #DevOps

What Is Regression Testing? Definition, Benefits, and Challenges of Regression Testing By Angela Stringfellow We talked a bit about the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in a recent post, but today, we're going to dig a little deeper into one specific and crucial element in the testing phase, particularly for Agile development: regression testing. Definition of Regression Testing Regression testing refers to the process of testing a changed or updated computer program to make sure the older software features - which were previously developed and tested - still performs exactly as they did before. One way to think about software regression is to think about somebody who implements a new air conditioning system in their home only to find that while their new air conditioning system works as expected, the lights no longer work. Regression testing will often invol... (more)

Container Considerations on Your #DevOps Journey | @DevOpsSummit #AI #Docker #Serverless

Containers are things for your things. That is true in the development world too - containers are things for your software, and, like containers for your things, software containers can help you be organized, efficient, and secure. Chris Morgan (@cmorgan_cloud), the Technical Director, OpenShift Partner Ecosystem at Red Hat, delivered a keynote at the 2016 All Day DevOps conference. Chris lives and breathes containers and recently discussed how they are transforming DevOps pipelines. Chris started with an encouraging figure -- DevOps has a 74% adoption rate (at least on a path towards full adoption) at the enterprise level. The reason is that DevOps helps solve issues around: Slow service delivery Poor service quality Frequent down times However, the needs of development and the desires of IT can often hamper full DevOps adoption, which is where containers can help.  ...
