For many organizations, the transition to DevOps starts small, often with a single team delivering new innovation — typically writing the tool chain as well as the application. This creates pockets of success, but reaping the full benefits of a DevOps practice means replicating these practices enterprise-wide. Not an easy task.
Through its research, Forrester has identified 3 key steps for breaking down organizational silos and implementing a widespread DevOps initiative. In this on-demand webinar, guest speaker Robert Stroud, principal analyst at Forrester, joins Puppet for a webinar to share these practices and explore:
• Trends in DevOps adoption — how many companies really have it figured out, which industries are leading the charge, and where do you fit in?
• The role of senior leaders in a DevOps initiative, and why transformation is in their best interest.
• How infrastructure automation and configuration management solutions lay the foundation for DevOps practices.
• How to select the right tools to support your DevOps transformation.
Efficient Performance Test Automation - Opitmizing the Jenkins PipelineJules Pierre-Louis
Shift-left testing represents a huge opportunity within the context of DevOps and Continuous Delivery, and integrating performance tests into your Continuous Integration scope greatly reduces performance risks when adding a new feature, or fixing a bug.
Even better – adding performance tests into the widely used Jenkins Pipeline is easier than you might think. In this webinar, co-presented by CA BlazeMeter and CloudBees, we’ll offer practical tips and best practices for leveraging performance test automation in a continuous integration environment.
In this webinar we’ll cover:
- How to easily implement a project’s entire build/test/deploy pipeline in Jenkins and store that alongside existing code
- How to configure and execute realistic, large-scale performance-testing scenarios as part of the Continuous Integration process
- Enabling easy test configuration maintenance using the open source test automation tool Taurus along with Jenkins Pipeline
- Analyzing comprehensive performance test results in real-time, and integrating those results as a part of the build promotion criteria
Extend the impact of performance testing across the software delivery pipeline and the popular tools your teams are already using.

See how the latest advances in DevOps innovation will help you meet your DevOps goals faster! The first goal-based DevOps Intelligence solution, XL Impact calculates and tracks the health of your Continuous Delivery pipeline with integrated KPIs. It combines DevOps best practices with historical analysis, machine learning, and data from across your tool chain to show trends, predict outcomes, and recommend actions. Learn how DevOps Intelligence will help you optimize your delivery pipeline and drive ROI for your organizational transformation.
DevOps has landed and many organizations are now enjoying the promised benefits such as shorter times to market, more efficient delivery processes, great levels of innovation, and happier teams. But that isn’t the whole story. Sometimes these achievements are confined to limited numbers of perhaps digital or systems of engagement teams. Bringing the benefits to more challenging areas in the enterprise may be still pending. Growing pains may also be starting to emerge for example achieving the right balance between autonomous teams free to choose their own tools and ending up with too much sprawl and having missed the benefits of enterprise standards. Here are my own perspectives based on scaling DevOps adoption in Accenture and with our clients.
How does DevOps impact our tools? This presentation looks at how tools from development to release to monitoring fit together to deliver better for the whole team.

It’s the same everywhere you turn. Companies are trying to transform their digital experiences and increase customer engagement all while improving customer experience. This is giving rise to a whole new generation of modern applications that are built fast, scale out, are mobile-first and go global on public cloud infrastructure.
Developers building modern applications depend on:
- An evolving set of DevOps needs
- Modern architectural principles
- Pervasive use of open source frameworks and tools
Forrester Analyst, Jeffrey Hammond, and CloudBees DevOps Evangelist, Brian Dawson, discussed how developers are meeting the demand for speed without blowing budgets. They shared the best practices they have seen companies use to take full advantage of open source tools and frameworks.
Since the trend began more than five years ago, DevOps has seen dramatic changes, including the advent of container software such as Docker, security impacts and the rise of hybrid cloud computing. Additional considerations beyond speed are also driving today's enterprise DevOps adoption, including efficiency and business value.
And while large enterprises remain very interested in net-new, cloud-native applications, they are also giving more consideration to modernizing existing and legacy applications and their related processes.
In this on-demand webinar, hear from Jay Lyman, Principal Researcher, 451 Research and Sunil Mavadia, Director of Customer Success, XebiaLabs as they discuss these meaningful changes in the drivers, challenges and benefits as well as their potential impact on your organization’s DevOps journey.

Data-Driven DevOps: Improve Velocity and Quality of Software Delivery with Me...Splunk
Much of the value of DevOps comes from a (renewed) focus on measurement, sharing, and continuous feedback loops. In increasingly complex DevOps workflows and environments, and especially in larger, regulated, or more crystallized organizations, these core concepts become even more critical.
This session will show how, by focusing on 'metrics that matter,' you can provide objective, transparent, and meaningful feedback on DevOps processes to all stakeholders. Learn from real-life examples how to use the data generated throughout application delivery to continuously identify, measure, and improve deployment speed, code quality, process efficiency, outsourcing value, security coverage, audit success, customer satisfaction, and business alignment.
PuppetConf 2017: The Changing Role of Operations- Michael Stahnke, PuppetPuppet
The expectations and responsibilities for a modern operations team are high. Today, ops is expected to build and design delivery pipelines, have continuous statistic collection as a part of their monitoring services, and complement the development process with continuous integration and delivery practices, all while still maintaining critical back-office applications that most wouldn’t wish upon their enemies. How did it get that way? What separates the operations teams that lead from the ones who react? To dig in, we’ll consider a reactive team mired in fire-fighting and incapable of making headway, then watch as change that betters the team’s output and perception throughout the organization is slowly introduced. We’ll cover root-cause analysis efforts, bringing pain forward, experimentation, shifting left on quality, and selling automation and DevOps practices to management. This talk will not focus on tools, but rather procedural and cultural improvements that highlight the journey operations has undergone, and how we can prepare for the future.

PuppetConf 2017: Kubernetes in the Cloud w/ Puppet + Google Container Engine-...Puppet
Today there's a multitude of ways to get up and running with Kubernetes in the Cloud. In this talk we'll look at how easy it is to operationalize your K8s cluster deployments using the new gcontainer puppet module for Google Container Engine (GKE), Google’s Managed Kubernetes service. We'll walk you through an end to end deployment of a demo application using the gcontainer puppet module and the kubernetes module. We'll also take a deep dive into the unique value proposition that GKE brings to Kubernetes deployments, including security, scaling, federation, automated container builds, integrated private container registry and GPUs.
PuppetConf 2017: Hiera 5: The Full Data Enchilada- Hendrik Lindberg, PuppetPuppet
Separating data from code is just as important as it has always been for creating reusable code that can be conveniently configured for different situations. This has been possible to do in Puppet for quite some time, using Hiera and automatic parameter lookup. The new release of Hiera 5, introduced late in the Puppet 4.x series, brings new capabilities for data management. Data is no longer just global — it can be defined in an environment and inside a module. Plus, data integration no longer requires special backends — the point of integration is now a function. There are also new ways to reference data files. And there's so much more in Hiera 5. This talk introduces all the features of Hiera 5 now available in Puppet 5, and shows how they can be used. Integrators who want to write their own backends will also learn how to do that.
PuppetConf 2017: The Five Dirty Words of CI- J. Paul Reed, Release Engineerin...Puppet
"Blameless postmortems" and "learning from failure" are very en vogue in the technology industry right now. Both fall into that less-discussed category of "CI": Continuous Improvement. But for as much as we all talk about them, in many organizations and teams, the outcome of continual organizational learning and improvement remains elusive. Why is this? In this talk, we'll look at five "dirty words"* that are often thrown around during postmortems, retrospectives, and other learning exercises that not only make it difficult for teams to discuss learning, but promote activities and behaviors that are actually counterproductive to continuous improvement. We'll dig into the existing research on why this is — it turns out we're not the only industry struggling with this! — and look at some different language we can start using that can more ably facilitate sustainable Continuous Improvement in our work environments. *Not actually dirty words.
PuppetConf 2017: Deploying is Only Half the Battle! Operationalizing Applicat...Puppet
This demo-heavy session led by Puppet Certified Consultant Tim Odom and Tim Carr will focus on common integration patterns for operationalizing Puppet in IaaS deployments. In this session we’ll focus on how to integrate Puppet into IaaS orchestration platforms built from tools like ServiceNow, AWS CloudFormation Templates, Cisco UCS-D, and VMware vRealize Automation. We’ll demonstrate both on-prem and public cloud use cases and address how these integrations differ. Deploying, however, is only a very small part of an object's lifecycle. In the second part of our session we’ll address how we provide feedback of application state change to ServiceNow’s change management system and how that can be leveraged to escalate incident resolution and also automate parts of your compliance workflows. Finally, we’ll show how feedback loops can be leveraged to intelligently scale resources with approval patterns.
PuppetConf 2017: Reducing Environment Drift to 0 with Containers- Leigh Capil...Puppet
How different is your development environment from production? I will share some techniques we can all use to model production service topologies on developer machines, so we can iterate on the same kinds of services that we use in production. I'll also demonstrate using labels and scheduling containers on mock-infrastructure and the interesting wins this technique buys us. It’s hard to have guarantees with anything in a deploy pipeline. We’ve all faced unexpected issues with drift between our iteration environments (dev/test/qa) and our deployment target for production services. Issues stemming from these differences can be super hard to track, and they can cause nasty bugs running through what is often some of the most untested code around: error-handling and recovery-automation. I will talk through how we can use containers on developer laptops to mock out our production infrastructure. When you mock your infrastructure and make it easy to visualize and query what’s happening, you open up a channel for empathy and enable people to do wonderful things! With these techniques you can: * Develop new functionality with more confidence it will function as intended * Model and Test against different topologies (ie: mid-deployment, mid-failure!) * Deploy using the same automation you use to iterate (dev/ci) plus it’s all repeatable. This is especially useful if you do not own your production environment, and is a surefire way to reduce pain and error. Environment differences cause pain. You want 0 drift between your environments. Modern tooling lets us model our production data centers on our personal machines, so we can iterate more quickly, experiment with failure modes, and deploy with confidence.
PuppetConf 2017: Puppet Platform: A Path Forward- Eric Sorenson, PuppetPuppet
Puppet's open source components have had a long journey from a loose collection of projects to a versioned, coordinated platform. Where are we now and what's coming up in the future? In this talk, I'll review some history — ancient and modern — around open source Puppet, describe the current state of play for for the Puppet 5 Platform, and provide some roadmap guidance for the next six to twelve months. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the relationship between Puppet Platform and Puppet Enterprise, some technical details of recent feature developments they may have missed, and a few heartwarming anecdotes.

Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps TransformationsTasktop
IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company.
They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle.
In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
