Transforming Enterprise Teams to DevOps WorkflowsMandi Walls
Talk for IPExpo Manchester, May 19, 2016.
As large organizations become more interested in DevOps and the velocity it can offer, introducing new ways of working to teams with longtime habits and familiar workflows can be challenging. Shifting goals, new tools, and new skills create a stressful environment for technologists still trying to keep applications and services running. New tools should make work easier, not worse! This talk will cover some of the common pitfalls large organizations face when radically changing work as well as tips for technologists and managers for surviving the implementation of large changes.
5 Steps for a High-Performing DevOps CultureJumpCloud
As DevOps practitioners, we must strive to build an organization that is fast, safe, resilient, and continuously improving to best serve our customers. The results of this ensure quality, create competitive advantage, empower an energized and committed workforce, and uncover the truth.
Here are five steps you can implement for a high-performing DevOps Culture.

More and more teams are turning to DevOps as a way of working together to improve the efficiency and quality of software delivery and start adding more value to the business. But without having someone on the team with experience of putting it into practice, it's sometimes difficult to know how to get started.
Redgate Software invited Steve Thair, CTO at the DevOpsGuys, to deliver a one-hour training session on 'How to get started with DevOps'. Steve gave practical tips on how you can start implementing DevOps in your own organization.

How to Avoid Cloud Confusion, DevOps dilemma, Microservice MadnessBMK Lakshminarayanan
on 10 Dec 2019 as part of Global SKILup Day organised by DevOps Institute, I presented on topic "How to Avoid Cloud Confusion, DevOps dilemma, Microservice Madness" along with DevOps leaders, practitioners, authors and speakers.
The presentation covers three major areas of today's trend: Cloud, DevOps, Microservices and I presented on some practical "How to" #DevOps session as an invited speaker.
A DevOps Mario Developer Game Challenge with GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance)
To stay compliant, secure, you need to go faster. You may wonder how is that possible? Governance, Risk & Security — generally a bottleneck in most of the enterprises for their DevOps transformation. Wait, you have more to that story.
As we step into the eleventh year of the term “DevOps”, it is now mainstream in most organizations. It makes into the Strategy & Board meetings, CIO presentations, press releases and success parties.

Building work engagement is one of the biggest challenges nowadays. Especially in such a dynamic industry as ICT. Sabina focuses on psychological basis for motivating people in a complex environment, to finally explore ways of supporting DevOps culture in any company. Read on to find out how to foster cooperation, trust, feedback, risk-taking and experimentation.
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.

At present, DevOps has got several buzz words associated with it. Standards in terminology by bringing in concepts such that everybody speaks same language.
The increasing adoption of DevOps principles has led to greater integration between software development (both application and software engineering) and IT operations (both systems administration and infrastructure). In this online seminar, we will explore the DevOps approaches
Service Architectures At Scale - QCon London 2015Randy Shoup
Over time, almost all large, well-known web sites have evolved their architectures from an early monolithic application to a loosely-coupled ecosystem of polyglot microservices. While first-order goals are almost always driven by the needs of scalability and velocity, this evolution also produces second-order effects on the organization as well. This session will discuss modern service architectures at scale, using specific examples from both Google and eBay.
It covers some interesting -- and perhaps nonintuitive -- lessons learned in building and operating these sites. It concludes with a number of experience-based recommendations for other smaller organizations evolving to -- and sustaining -- an effective service ecosystem.

DevOps is Not Going to Work…Unless! How The Phoenix Project Simulation Can Help
Jan Schilt, Founder, GamingWorks
This presentation will explore how the business simulation game “The Phoenix Project” based on the book of the same name can greatly improve the success of your DevOps investment. As case studies reveal there are enormous benefits to be realized by adopting DevOps, however industry trends reveal that many will fail as a result of ‘Cultural and behavioral’ issues and failing to adequately address organizational change. We have seen with ITIL how many organizations failed to gain the promised benefits because they could not translate the theory into practice and the belief that a tool would solve all their issues. Let us not make the same mistakes with DevOps. In this presentation we will show you how a business simulation can increase the velocity of your adoption, create buy-in, improve communication and collaboration skills between Dev and Ops, and capture concrete, shared, improvement actions aimed at creating success.

I would like to talk about how we made this transition from the traditional setup where the devs did the coding and the sysops did the operation - what lessons we learned, how we convinced the sysop guys to give us permissions and so on
In this webinar we'll explore what is DevOps culture, why it's important, and how it differs from many typical organisational cultures and why. We'll see some simple things we can do to help nurture a DevOps culture within our organisations, and investigate some collaboration and team patterns which can help to change behaviour to encourage DevOps to flourish.

The Importance of Culture: Building and Sustaining Effective Engineering Org...Randy Shoup
Randy is a 25-year veteran of Silicon Valley, having led engineering organizations at eBay, Google, Oracle, and a number of other companies. Through the lens of his personal experience from hands-on engineer to architect to CTO, at organizations ranging from tiny startups to global giants, Randy will discuss several important aspects of engineering cultures, which both support and hinder the ability to innovate: hiring and retention, ownership and collaboration, quality and discipline, and learning and experimentation.
Randy will suggest some learnings about what has worked well -- and what has not -- in creating and sustaining an effective engineering culture. He will further offer some concrete suggestions on how other organizations -- both large and small -- can evolve their cultures as well.

required to transform yourself to be a next gen devops professional. And this is based on
real data, a devops skills report 2016 (to be published soon) by Initcron Systems.
Managing one or two unique machines in an ad-hoc manner is not a story that many people talk about nowadays. Today, small teams need to manage hundreds or thousands of nodes, serving a myriad of purposes, running any number of critical Dev and Ops workloads. And they have to do it in a way that still leaves time for unplanned and strategic work.

Webcast Presentation: Increasing Product Quality through DevOpsGRUC
In today’s fast paced marketplace, the demand for product quality and incremental updates is continually increasing. Competing industry goals such as rapid feature development and continual deployment create an environment where release management and risk mitigation can become tenuous.
DevOps – a contraction of “Development and Operations" – allows companies to unify the two facets of an organization’s technology department. This presentation covers how DevOps allows companies developing complex systems to integrate their development, testing and deployment processes. We believe in product innovation through rapid software development, and we lived DevOps through our experience as IBM Rational Developers.

Training Bootcamp - MainframeDevOps.pptxNashet Ali
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.
Course Objectives
By completing this course you will:
Have greater visibility of some of the key points of a cloud migration
Be able to confidently assess the requirements for your migration
Intended Audience
This course has been designed for anyone who works or operates in business management, business strategy, technical management, and technical operations.
Prerequisites
For this course, it's assumed that you have a working knowledge of cloud computing and cloud principles.
What You Will Learn about Cloud Migration
Introduction - This provides an introduction to the trainer and covers the intended audience. We will also look at what lectures are included in the course, and what you will gain as a student from attending the course.
Time Management – How time plays an important part in successful cloud migration. We discuss the key points to allow time for and how to use it to plan a phased migration.
Security – This lecture will give you the ability to ask the key security questions to the business before performing a migration to the Cloud.

Title: DevOps @ Amazon: Microservices, 2 Pizza Teams, & 50 Million Deploys a Year
Large organizations are increasingly turning to DevOps and Continuous Delivery principles, often with the goal of shipping better software faster. However, they're then faced with important considerations for scaling these processes across teams and in diverse environments while still maintaining the visibility and control necessary for compliance.
This presentation from Matt Meservey, Director of Product Management at SaltStack and Andrew Phillips, VP of DevOps Strategy at XebiaLabs discusses:
Practical advice and tips gleaned from the large organizations they have helped implement and scale DevOps and Continuous Delivery initiatives for

Organizations everywhere struggle with one specific, real problem- How fast we could deliver value to our customers. That is a critical measure. The Purpose of an organization is the fundamental reason why the organization exists. It is the most central component of core culture. The Purpose of an organization is not the answer to the question, "What do you do?" This typically focuses on products, services and customers. To clarify, it should answer the question, "Why is the work you do important?"
Businesses exist to make a profit. But they also exist to make a difference. Through work, individuals can make a difference. They can be part of a meaningful legacy.
As we step into the eleventh year of the term "DevOps", it is now mainstream in most organizations. It makes into the Strategy & Board meetings, CIO presentations, press releases and success parties. As most organisations are just scratching the surface, there is a lot to take on when it comes to any transformation initiatives. Primarily focusing on - Speed & Stability. Organizations have realized that - hundreds of deployments do not matter, but matters what - the "Value" to the
customer.
Overcoming Enterprise Disconnect With Value Streams and Flow MetricsBMK Lakshminarayanan
As we step into the eleventh year of the term "DevOps", it is now mainstream in most organizations. It makes into the Strategy & Board meetings, CIO presentations, press releases and success parties.
As most organisations are just scratching the surface, there is a lot to take on in any transformation initiatives. Primarily focusing on - Speed & Stability. Organizations have realized that - hundreds of deployments do not matter, but matter what - the "Value" to the customer.
In this presentation, BMK will share his study on most of the Enterprises' states, reflecting on how the pressure is more on "IT" to deliver value faster. However, the rest of the organization's operations and processes are still slow, e.g., funding the initiatives, Architecture, governance, etc.
Value Stream Management - helps to overcome this "Enterprise Disconnect":
* Instead of all working to achieve our own goals, we work towards organizational goals.
* Instead of working against each other and pushing our priorities/agenda, we all work together to achieve better customer and business outcomes.
*Instead of focusing on "project timeline & budget", we work towards delivering "Value."
*Instead of mapping our strategy to structure, we work towards regrouping and organizing our teams to map our plan & centred around "Customer" and "Value."
BMK's talk will cover and help you to explore and apply:
* Optimizing the organizational functions and processes "Flow."
* Make the work & flow visible to everyone.
* Measure what matters - the "Flow" with the help of Flow Metrics
* Finally - make the right thing, the easy thing.
BMK's known for speaking his heart content - originally authoritative; He shares his real-time experiences, learnings & his perspective as a practitioner with the wider community to amplify the "Community Learning Experience".
Session Name: Our DevOps Journey is Incomplete Without Data
Every company is a “Software Company”, “Software is eating the world”, in these similar lines I recently heard every company regardless of size it is a “Data Company”. True, somewhere or other every organisation produces, consumes, analyses, report Data & makes a decision, promotes, buy, sell, acquire, expand, down-size, so on based on Data. DevOps momentum has seen a rapid growth rate of new tools in the space of CI/CD, ARA(Application Release Automation), frameworks for enabling application delivery at pace. When it comes to Continuous Delivery, modern architecture patterns, practices like Microservices, our delivery teams face challenges with data. I want to discuss some of the challenges that I have gone through, ideas and some concrete pointers to help further to understand the “Data” problem in the DevOps space. If we could go as fast as only our weakest link, then Data, Data Management, Data Architecture, and associated practices need our attention and love.
My talk on "Cloud Confusion, DevOps Dilemma, Microservice Madness" at DevOps India Summit 2019. I discuss the mad rush in adopting these new terms and falling short in achieving the organisational goal.
For leading global technology company I presented on "Enterprise Journey to the Cloud" topic and discussing the barriers, speed breakers for the Enterprises and their Cloud-Journey.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.
