Cloud Migration services from your on-premise environment can sometimes be very simple and other times an extremely complicated project to implement. For either scenario, there are always considerations to bear in mind when doing so. This course has been designed to highlight these topics to help you ask the right questions to aid in a successful Cloud migration.
Within this course, we look at how timing plays an important part in your project's success and why phased deployments are important. Security is also examined where we focus on a number of key questions that you should have answers to from a business perspective before your Cloud migration. One of the biggest decisions is your chosen public cloud vendor, how do you make the decision between the available vendors, what should you look for when selecting you will host your architecture, this course dives into this question to help you finalize your choice.
Understanding the correct deployment model is essential, it affects how you architect your environment and each provides different benefits, so gaining the knowledge. I look at how you can break this question down to help you with your design considerations. We also cover service readiness from your on-premise environment and how to align these to the relevant Cloud services. Your design will certainly be different from your on-premise solution, I discuss the best approach when you start to think about your solution design, some of the dos and some of the don’ts.
Once you have your design, it’s important to understand how you are actually going to migrate your services ensuring optimum availability and minimal interruption to your customer base, for example looking at Blue/Green and Canary deployments. Cloud migration allows for some great advantages within your business continuity plans, as a result, I have included a lecture to discuss various models that work great within the Cloud.

Continuous Testing: A Key to DevOps SuccessTechWell
As IT organizations adopt a DevOps strategy, continuous testing (CT) becomes a key ingredient of the DevOps ecosystem. CT enables faster release cycles, more changes per release, upfront isolation of risks, and reduced operations costs. The approach to scale the traditional automation testing infrastructure, test environments, and test data management requires a culture shift using new tools and techniques. Sujay Honnamane discusses a CT strategy for aspiring and already implemented DevOps organizations. Sujay shares examples of tools, techniques, and practical solutions that include continuous integration using the Jenkins CI server, service virtualization through CA Lisa tools, automated code coverage analysis to create impact-based tests, automated test script load balancing for effective use of test environments, and faster test cycles, providing a holistic approach/workflow for CT. Sujay and his teams have successfully implemented CT for several clients in their DevOps journey to achieve a repeatable and highly predictable software delivery process.

Devops - Continuous delivery patterns with serverless stackcksiva09
The key pattern introduced in continuous delivery is the deployment pipeline. This pattern emerged from several projects where teams were struggling with complex, fragile, painful manual processes for preparing testing and production environments and deploying builds to them. Team already worked to automate a significant amount of the regression and acceptance testing, but it was taking weeks to get builds to integrated environments for full regression testing, and our first deployment to production took an entire weekend.
Dev ops for cross platform mobile modeveast 12Sanjeev Sharma
Mobile Apps are not stand alone applications running on a mobile device anymore. Apps today are complex systems with back-ends hosted on clouds, with application servers, databases, API calls to external systems, and of course a powerful app running on a mobile device. Mobile App development and deployment is further complicated with todays need for supporting multiple mobile devices, with multiple OSes, multiple versions of the OSes, multiple form factors and varied network, CPU, GPU and memory specs.
DevOps - the new and growing movement 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. Mobile apps take the need for these practices up a level due to their inherent distributed nature. Multi-platform mobile apps need even more care in applying DevOps principles as there are multiple platforms to be targeted, each with its own requirements, quirks, and nuanced needs.
This talk will introduce attendees to the basic practices of DevOps and then take a look at the DevOps challenges specific to cross-platform Mobile apps and present Best Practices to address them.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1

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).

Editor's Notes
Lets talk about the second major challenge we often hear – how to meet end user expectations for application response times (performance) .Here are some of the sources of this challenge:Difficult to understand what slows apps down. Once your applications have been pushed out to production, you’ll hear about it if your end-users are unhappy. When apps gain traction and then fail to perform as expected, it can be difficult to understand the source of scalability issues. This is particularly true in siloed environments where dev and ops teams lack a common view of app performance. Working together, they need to understand: what it takes to scale an app quickly to meet demand spikes, how performance can be optimized across all stages of the request/response cycle, and if it occurs, what is slowing an application down after it moves into production. So this comes down to a few questions: 1) how does your organization become aware of performance problems before they impact the users? 2) how do you identify the cause of the performance issues rapidly? 3) how do design your infrastructure to scale to handle varying load based on usage cycles?Complex to optimize performance across all stages of the request/response cycle . The great thing about a PHP request is that there are lots of ways to optimize its performance at various levels – more places to potentially squeeze a bit more speed out of your code. And of course you need the ability to monitor and see exactly how applications are performing, ideally applications that have been built and tested from the ground up with scalability in mind.Hard to scale apps quickly to meet demand spikes To deliver the best possible service to customers during peak traffic, DevOps efforts must be aligned with this goal [and supported by a common application platform that delivers on-demand scalability and fault tolerance]. Its helpful to think about infrastructure and application requirements for auto-scaling both on premise and in the cloud.
Lets move to another challenge we frequently hear and a true challenge – how to maintain quality in the face of these frequent release cyclesThe best practicesZend has seen for maintaining quality include:Prevent/avoid reinventing the wheel - the key here is to adopt frameworks and best practices. This is a situation where standardization helps.Ensuring developers have best in class skills/methodologies. You want your devs to have the best of tools and and easy processes.Avoid the scenario where developers spend too much time on non coding tasks. Unfortunately this is too often the case that devs spend too much time doing documentation for release and up to 30% of their time can be spent on troubleshooting apps even once they are in production.
