Title: DevOps @ Amazon: Microservices, 2 Pizza Teams, & 50 Million Deploys a Year
Devops is about 3 things: 1) Automation of IT 2) Cross disciplinary teams and 3) Learning from production. These 3 elements support organizations directly in becoming digital, client-driven and data-oriented enterprises.
To successfully deliver your IT project: build your team, build your Agile it...Jean-François Nguyen
Today, we are hearing a lot talking about digital company but many of those same companies are forgetting what is a digital company. Back to basics, It's simply a company dealing with IT projects. So, here is my lessons learnt regarding 'How to deliver successfull IT projects' from my 15 years spent as an IT project manager and my 5 years spent as a Lean & Agile coach.
Learn about the benefits of writing unit tests. You will spend less time fixing bugs and you will get a better design for your software. Some of the questions answered are:
Why should I, as a developer, write tests?
How can I improve the software design by writing tests?
How can I save time, by spending time writing tests?
When should I write unit tests and when should I write system tests?
this presentation contains agile engineering practices which are used by software community.
These practices provides agility in the software development. Applying agile software development without these practices is not easy for software developers.
Agile Principles are more Software Development focused. There is need for Organizations to look for Software Development Agility nothing but DevOps. In order to achieve Organization operational efficiency the complete Organization needs to be DevOps complaint.
Take away for orgnizations on What is that they need to do?
At present, DevOps has got several buzz words associated with it. Standards in terminology by bringing in concepts such that everybody speaks same language.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

include ensuring conformance to one or more standards, such as ISO 9000 or a model such as CMMI.
SQA encompasses the entire software development process, which includes processes such as requirements
definition, software design, coding, source code control, code reviews, software configuration management,
testing, release management, and product integration. SQA is organized into goals, commitments, abilities,
activities, measurements, and verifications.”
5. And the agile
manifesto
says…
• customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of useful software
• welcome changing requirements, even late in development
• working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months)
• close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
• projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted
• face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)
• working software is the principal measure of progress
• sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace
• continuous attention to technical excellence and good design
• simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential
• self-organising teams
• regular adaptation to changing circumstance

8. Back to earth….
DevOps is about
• bridging the gap between software development and operations
• collaboration – we all want an easy life, right?
• creating capabilities – do it first then help others to do it
• lean delivery – optimum automation
• rapid feedback – are we doing what we said?
• continuous innovation – it’s never good enough
DevOps IS NOT just about technology
• DevOps is about how you use technology to improve process, change culture and drive organisational
change
9. DevOps
Enables……
DevOps enables
• agile ways of working (but works with Waterfall too!!)
• consistent delivery of code
• process visibility
• software configuration management
• lean governance
By applying
• clearly defined principles
• lean ways of working
• automation
• continuous innovation
10. DevOps
Principles
• everything in source control – have a defined branch/merge strategy
• everything as code
• everything is uniquely identified
• build binaries once
• control key environments
• just enough governance and process – delivered through automation
• Security, Test & Quality built in
• path to Production is defined and managed
• we care about process and principles as much as tools and technology
• toolset must be fully integrated
• measure everything
• feedback fast- fail fast, fail cheap!
• automate everything – minimise human intervention – CD is the end game!
11. Engineering
pre-requisites
• understand your stories before you start coding
• don’t bite off more than you can chew
• developers own the code
• design for automation – build, test, deploy
• have a defined branch/merge strategy
• no tests = no code –GIVE ME TEST AUTOMATION!!
• don’t break the build – execute unit & integration tests
• make comments meaningful – reference JIRA tasks
• build once, deploy often – only deploy from artefact store
14. A brief
history…..
• Formed in 2012 as part of MCFP
• .com Delivery Function supporting
• ~ 30 Product Teams
• 11 AT&T environments
• ~ 400 AWS instances
• 35 .com components
• Defined & Implemented Group DevOps model
15. What we’ve
achieved in .com
• DevOps toolset & automation provides the only mechanism to build & deliver code to controlled
environments
• >600,000 builds with security & quality scanning built in
• >1,400 automated build/deploy jobs
• >20,000 automated deployments
• >4,000 self-serve deployments
• 2 continuous delivery microservices – lost count of the number of deploys!
17. When we
started
• Security were sceptical
• Engineers accumulated piles of tech debt
• ‘no time to write unit tests…..’
• ‘we’ve got loads of manual testers paid for…………’
• ‘…..and build/deploy engineers’
• Config management – what config management?
• ‘I need to fix code in the environment…..’
• ‘…don’t have time to do test automation….’
• ‘…but I need to know that I’ve got defects immediately so I can fix ‘em’
• ‘…..and the release note tells you everything you need to know…’
18. Yup, really..
• Security were sceptical
• Engineers accumulated piles of tech debt
• ‘no time to write unit tests…..’
• ‘we’ve got loads of manual testers paid for…………’
• ‘…..and build/deploy engineers’
• Config management – what config management?
• ‘I need to fix code in the environment…..’
• ‘…don’t have time to do test automation….’
• ‘…but I need to know that I’ve got defects immediately so I can fix ‘em’
• ‘…..and the release note tells you everything you need to know…’
• Senior Management didn’t get it
19. The sell
Build a PoC – AWS is awesome for this
• Make Security your best friend – we hooked HP Fortify into the build process
• Automate the build – show engineers the reduction in effort
• Build in quality scans, run unit tests (??!!??) – rapid feedback
• Automate the deploy – bring the engineers along!
Senior Management don’t get it, so demonstrate
• significantly reduced deployment times
| Jun 2012 (Shopping, no automation) – 1.5hrs build, 14hrs deploy
| Mar 2013 (Shopping, some automation) – build 30 mins, 4hrs deploy with outage
They bought in!
| FYI - Mar 2015 (Shopping full automation) – 15 mins build, 2 hours deploy, zero downtime
20. Then scale…
• build to your principles – there will be battles, don’t compromise!
• work with the Engineering teams – use tangible benefits to change their mind
• raise need for test automation – need de-prioritised
• demonstrate lean governance through tooling
• answer the who, what, when, how, why questions
• demonstrate ‘build once, deploy often
• metrics identify bottlenecks – in our case, lack of test automation
• raise need for test automation – get a few nods but no action
• give the teams ‘self serve’ capabilities
• demonstrate Continuous Delivery PoC
• raise the need for test automation
21. And watch the
rush…
BDD
TDD
Embedded Testers
Devs in Test
What’s our test coverage?
What tools?
In honesty, we don’t mind. We just want the experts to give us robust automated test suites that we can hook into our
delivery pipe and distribute the results

28. Summary
DevOps can be considered ‘Mature Agile’
• we care about the full SDLC (cradle to grave)
• we want to deliver light touch governance through our tooling – actually we
like the challenge
• we want to drive best practice through automation
• get a kick out of demonstrating the ‘art of the possible’
And we really do get the need for maximum automated testing available as early in
the lifecycle as possible
• And we shout about it. Loud.
Agile WoW – but also works with Waterfall
Software Config Mgt – can treat ‘everything as code’
IaaS is key to this!
Stockley - new projects adopt the wow, check old projects for fit
Need the practices in place to stabilise the quality, format and structure of artefacts feeding into the delivery pipe – remember ‘crap in, crap out’

An example of the information retained following a self serve deploy, integral to our SCM
Our focus to date has been on the ‘Ops’ side of DevOps – building and stabilising capabilities, responding rapidly to dev requests
Now focus is around enabling Dev Teams to self serve the capabilities – deployment, build/deploy jobs, environment provision etc.
Prevent DevOps from becoming a bottleneck
Self serve cloud environments is on the backlog for Q2 15/16
