1) DevOps is an approach to software development that aims to reduce the time between developing code and delivering it to production by encouraging collaboration between development and operations teams.
2) Software delivery is critical to business success but many companies do not leverage it effectively, experiencing delays and issues. DevOps aims to address these challenges through principles like continuous delivery of iterative releases using automated and repeatable processes.
3) IBM's DevOps solution provides capabilities for continuous software delivery through an integrated lifecycle and tools that help plan, develop, release, deploy, monitor, and optimize software.

Mobile to mainframe - The Challenges and Best Practices of Enterprise DevOps IBM UrbanCode Products
Delivering software is complex. Systems being developed are made up of multiple components, which in turn interact with other systems, services, application servers, data sources and invocations of 3rd party systems. In an Enterprise this complexity is further enhanced by the cross-platform nature of the infrastructure typical enterprises have. While the customers may be interacting with Systems of Engagement using Mobile and Web Apps, the core capabilities of the enterprise that the customers access are in Systems of Record that are running on large datacenters and more than likely Mainframe systems. Keeping these complex systems up and running and constantly updated with the latest capabilities is a task that requires constant coordination between the lines of business, various cross-platform development, QA and operations teams.
DevOps addresses these development and deployment challenges. The goal of DevOps is to align Dev and Ops by introducing a set of principles and practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery. Cross-platform enterprise Systems take the need for these practices up a level due to their inherent complexity and distributed nature. Such systems need even more care in applying DevOps principles as there are multiple platforms to be targeted, in a coordinated manner, each with its own requirements, quirks, and nuanced needs. This talk takes a look at the DevOps challenges specific to Cross-platform Enterprise Systems and present Best Practices to address them.
by Roberto Pozzi - This round table represents a unique chance to meet the main solution vendors and learn directly from their specialists how PaaS adoption can streamline continuous delivery processes and increase team focus and productivity to dramatically improve time to market. Continuous delivery is an agile approach to software delivery that helps to achieve frequent and reliable releases through team collaboration and full automation. Platform as a service (PaaS) is a cloud computing paradigm that enables rapid deployment of applications without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure.

Presentation I held @Codemotion Roundtable on Continuous Delivery & PaaS.
How can you bring value at speed in an ever changing context?
You have to concentrate on what is really valuable, remove waste from your processes and eliminate all your Technical Debt.
Main principles you have to follow are:
- Dev & test in production like environment
- Deliver continuously, experiment continuously
- Validate quality continuously
- Collaborate and be open to feedback
How can you do this without adopting a PaaS approach? Not impossibile but very hard.
Applying DevOps for more reliable Public Sector Software DeliverySanjeev Sharma
Government agencies and contractors must build the competency to deliver software with greater predictability, quality, speed and frequency. The alternative of higher costs and late delivery is no longer acceptable - politically, economically or justifiably. This session will share findings from client experiences and lay out the DevOps approach that is help agencies and their contractors address the challenges inherent in software application delivery.
A DevOps Primer: Whole Team Approaches for Better Software QualityTechWell
With fingers wagging and eyes squinting, they query Why didn’t you find this problem during testing? How many times have you tried to defend yourself with things like We can’t test everything or It’s a corner case? Everyone knows you can’t improve quality with testing alone, so what can you do? Marianne Hollier shares practices and tools that help improve your test effectiveness and overall software quality. Learn how early collaboration across your whole team can remove bottlenecks and surprises. See how capturing and agreeing on interfaces between dependent systems can eliminate common issues that occur when systems are finally integrated for testing and nothing works. Understand how service virtualization and test automation go hand-in-hand to get your testing effort started earlier to achieve higher coverage more quickly. Join Marianne to learn how continuous integration and continuous deployment can get your test environments ready to test immediately after a new build is made—with no wasted time.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Another cultural and process gap is that operational orgs and development orgs have very different notions of what it means to be “done, with quality”. Some of these different concerns are described in the text under the ops and dev people above.
