The concept of DevOps is a powerful one for federal agencies, promising to provide the responsiveness and speed needed to keep pace with rapidly changing mission requirements. In terms of cloud adoption, DevOps accelerates the development of new, cloud-native applications while building the operational capabilities needed to manage more dynamic environments. During this session, we will review specific options for implementing DevOps using Amazon Web Services (AWS), including development of new Platform-as-a-Service capabilities and rapid migration of enterprise systems.

DevOps as a Pathway to Cloud

2. Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved. 2
GETTING PAST THE EASY STUFF
Many of our clients have successfully launched
their journey to AWS
New development and prototypes use cloud-native
capabilities and agile devops practices
Migrating the large, legacy landscape has been
more difficult

3. Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved. 3
THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE
Independent centers and program
offices with unique contractors
Potentially independent QA/SAT
environments with their own staff
Independent Security scanning
Production operations with its own
set of contractors and environments

4. Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved. 4
CHALLENGES WE DON’T WANT ON AWS
Long cycle times and multiple unique
environments limit ability to quickly
deploy software
Standards are difficult to enforce and
verify, leading to snowflake
architectures
Security & Operations get
overwhelmed with variations
Can we avoid these
issues when we go
to AWS?

LIFTING AND SHIFTING JUST KEEPS THE ISSUES

TOTAL TRANSFORMATION WILL TAKE TOO LONG

CAN DEVOPS HELP?
Between Lift-and-Shift and
Total Transformation, there
is a hybrid approach that
can be enabled and
enhanced with DevOps

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT DEVOPS
• Will I have to re-tool my development
environment?
• Will I have to re-train my staff?
• Will I have to re-write my
application?
• Will my team’s requirements be met?
Will DevOps really be all that useful for migration to AWS?

USEFUL ENTERPRISE SERVICES
• Enabling, not controlling
• Reliable, not low priority
• Secure, not an exception
• Commitment, not a science
experiment
DevOps Services are part of a production system. The end users are the
developers, security professionals and operations personnel who use
these services to do their jobs.

USING DEVOPS FOR CLOUD MIGRATION
TL;DR – If you are trying to modernise your development practices, or go cloud native
without Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment you are doing it wrong.
– Fintan Ryan, Redmonk, June 2016
http://redmonk.com/fryan/2016/06/15/ci-the-cloud-native-on-ramp-and-the-dominance-of-jenkins/
• Repeatable deployments mean easier cloud scaling
• Reliable deployments mean better security
• Rapid deployments increase the pace of innovation
