IAM projects for the digital age require new tactics and best practices. What you need is a short time to market while tackling complex integrations. Thanks to RockKit, Paradigmo proposes a new approach to deliver your IAM project. In this presentation we will take a look how it works and how you can benefit from RockKit to save time and money in your IAM project. RockKit is the fastest and easiest way to deliver your IAM project based on ForgeRock technology.

ü Servers are like pets
ü You name them, and when they get
sick, you nurse them back to health
ü Servers are like ca<le
ü You number them, and when they
get sick, you shoot them
From pets to ca?le

presentaBon, Scaling SQL SoEware , when describing the difference between
scaling up and scaling out.

DevOps philosophy

Ops
ü Dev doesn’t throw its soEware
package over the Ops fence
ü SoEware packages make their
journey from Dev to Ops
ü The developers are the best fi<ed for
support, by the way Source: Leon Tranter maintains Extreme Uncertainty web site and blogs

DevOps strategy for the cloud
ü Infrastructure as code
ü Treat configuraBon just like source code.
• Store it as text (json, yaml)
• Process it with tools (perl, python, jq, etc.)
• Version it, tag it
• Promote configuraBon from one environment to another
• Put it through a development CI/CD pipeline
• GUIs become configuraBon editors
ü What is the difference between QA and ProducBon?

git diff production
