Six months ago, Confluence Cloud’s reliability for enterprise tenants was at an all time low. This is the story of how we turned things around - starting with the fundamentals of measuring everything, re-defining metrics to be insightful of actual customer pain, auditing end-to-end resilience. The most challenging part however, has been building the reliability habit. Beyond just devops best practices, this means empowering teams to own product stability front and center through practices and tools.

Slides from my DevOpsExpo London talk "From oops to NoOps".
They tell you in these conferences that DevOps is not about tools, but about culture. And they are partially right. I am going to tell you that it’s not only about culture or tools but also abstractions.
It is a lot about how you see software and its value. About our mental model of what software is: how it runs, evolves, and interacts with the other facets of an enterprise.
We used to view software as code. As a state of code. Now we think about software as change, as a flow. A dynamic system where people, machines, and processes interact continuously.
At Platform.sh we spend a bunch of time asking ourselves not “How do you build?” - or even “How do you build consistently?” - but rather “What does it mean to consistently build in a world where change is good?” A world that lets you push security fixes into production as soon as they’re available because you don’t want to be an Equifax but you do want stability.
In this presentation, I will go over what we think software is and why having the right ideas about software will help you get your culture right and your tooling aligned, as well as gain in productivity, and general happiness and well-being.
Agile and Startups - What can go wrong - a Case study (Presented at ExpoQA 20...Vipin Jain
I recently got this wonderful opportunity to present a case study "Agile and Startups - What can go wrong" at ExpoQA, Madrid. The talk is about how startups think, build on the idea and try to sell it, until it is influenced by external factors like market and competitors. A lack of strong product owner didnt help as well. Agile, is a technology and is prone to failure as well, until it is practiced right.
With the advent of microservices , containers and on demand computing and the rate at which code is getting churned out every single day we need to automate or perish. DevOps or Build at Scale and how to have a hands free approach like autonomous cars is what companies need the most today. It is no longer OK to say we build it someone will test it and certify it , it needs to happen in real time and all at once the Build, Automate and Test in a continuous pipeline. How can companies stay on top by effectively making use of Automation shall be looked at in this talk.
Agile methodologies have quickly become central to the way we create and refine digital products. These rapid cycles of building, measuring, and learning are great for refining an already innovative product but these tools are being increasingly called upon to produce innovation itself and they suck at it.
In this high-level, philosophical talk, Scott draws from 25+ years of experience in digital product strategy and design to take a critical and sometimes controversial look at processes that claim to promote innovation but too often fail to deliver.
He also highlights some principles and practices that seem to promote real innovation and help it survive the perilous journey from the minds of innovators to the hands and hearts of users.
Rethinking an organization in an Agile manner is a challenge that affects every organizational aspects and is surrounded by risks that must be appropriately managed.
Beyond the used methodologies and frameworks, the goal is always to develop a mindset that allows the organization to " stand on their own feet" and embrace antifragility.
In this talk we will describe a concrete transformation experience in a company working on the medical sector, with the operational office in Italy, and how it has been completely revolutionized. We will talk about successful changes and the less fortunate experiments, how the company developed its Way of Working (WoW) in agile manner, even going so far as to reorganize of the internal physical spaces. We will also take a look at how the aspects of the Program were developed: from the Portfolio to the Risk Management System, up to the revision of the Quality procedures.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Internet of Things (IoT) sottende la possibilità di connettere tra di loro oggetti e luoghi concreti, sfruttando le infrastrutture di rete esistenti
AgileIoT mette al centro il bisogno del cliente, armonizzando competenze, approcci e tecnologie differenti, grazie alla definizione di un main-set comune di strumenti che rendono economicamente sostenibile la creazione di una soluzione Internet of Things.
La Filosofia di AgileIoT è quella della bottega rinascimentale, ovvero la cellula in cui veniva fatto tutto quanto necessario alla realizzazione di una nuova opera: dalla progettazione alla commercializzazione, passando per la formazione e la produzione.
Non si tratta di completare un progetto software o hardware, bensì di realizzare una soluzione intelligente che sfrutta entrambi per risolvere un’esigenza in modo efficiente ed efficace.
Ridurre all’essenziale il tempo dedicato alla fase di analisi in favore di un rapido avvio delle attività di sviluppo della soluzione.
Più semplice è la soluzione che si realizza, maggiori saranno le possibilità di farla evolvere in funzione delle esigenze degli stakeholder.
Oltre a sfruttare le pratiche tipiche del mondo Agile, AgileIoT introduce la CES Oriented practice (Cloud, Energy e Security oriented practice), ponendo al centro delle attività gli aspetti di adattabilità e scalabilità, unitamente a quelli di sicurezza ed energia.
AgileIoT pone sin dalle prima fasi l’accento sugli elementi CES che devono essere esplicitamente analizzati al fine di definirne i criteri di riferimento e i livelli di qualità a supporto delle successive fasi di engineering e deployment.
