DevOps best practices from industry leaders
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.
Learn how HP ties DevOps automation, monitoring information and ChatOps collaboration together to eliminate manual, error-prone work and keep critical services running
IT organisations are measured based on how they mitigate risk and ensure changes adhere to compliance policies. High-performing organisations pull Information Security earlier into the development process by automating compliance tests.
Becoming a high-performing, risk averse organisation is about two things:
• How frequently (and automatically & trivially) you can run compliance assessments;
• and once you discover vulnerabilities, how quickly you can then remediate them.
Are you ready to bridge the gap between DevOps & InfoSec?

From Chaos to Compliance: The New Digital Governance for DevOpsXebiaLabs
DevOps and related trends (cloud-native, digital transformation, etc.) are unquestionably mainstream, but they still come with difficulties. Many organizations are struggling with outdated governance models that slow down digital innovation, while not effectively reducing risk. Plan/build/run, stage-gated checklists, and approval boards are losing favor, but what will replace them? Risk management is still critical.
Special guest Charles Betz, Forrester Principal Analyst, joined Dan Beauregard, VP, Cloud & DevOps Evangelist at XebiaLabs, to discuss:
• The role of an integrated, end-to-end release pipeline in ensuring auditability and standards compliance
• The evolution and automation of change and release management and the decline of the Change Approval Board
• Chaos and resilience engineering as the basis for a new governance model
Supercharge Your Digital Transformation by Establishing a DevOps PlatformXebiaLabs
Although DevOps practices have gained wide adoption across industries, many organizations are still failing in their digital transformation efforts because they focus on tools over people and processes. You can avoid this trap by providing DevOps as a platform that is built and maintained by experts who provide standardized tools, templates, and processes to teams across the organization—regardless of those teams’ roles within the company, the type of applications or environments they work with, or the software delivery patterns they’ve adopted.
A centralized DevOps platform allows developers to leverage predefined delivery processes, so they don’t have to reinvent the wheel to get their apps into Production. It also helps ensure the right processes are followed and the right people are involved at the right times. A DevOps platform can provide both technical users and business stakeholders with end-to-end visibility into the software delivery process—promoting information sharing and collaboration across the organization.
Learn how to successfully implement a DevOps platform in your organization, so that every team gets the tools, templates, and visibility they need to deliver software faster than ever before.
Build a Bridge Between CI/CD and ITSM w/ Quint TechnologyXebiaLabs
DevOps heeft een grote sprong gemaakt in het verbeteren van het softwareleveringsproces. Het is echter verrassend hoeveel organisaties DevOps nog gescheiden houden van gevestigde IT-servicemanagement (ITSM) systemen zoals ServiceNow.

XebiaLabs Cloud & DevOps Evangelist, Dan Beauregard, and Director of DevOps Strategy, Vincent Lussenburg, discussed why DevOps is leading many organizations to move to the cloud and how to make this transition as seamless as possible in an enterprise environment.
Compliance und Sicherheit im Rahmen von Software-DeploymentsXebiaLabs
Viele Unternehmen kennen das Problem. Ständig müssen neue Software-Releases bereitgestellt und dabei immer mehr Anforderungen eingehalten werden, weil sich Sicherheitsrisiken und Compliance-Probleme stets auf mehrere Anwendungen, Teams und Umgebungen gleichzeitig auswirken. Nur wenn Risikobewertung, Sicherheitstests und Compliance bereits als Teil von Continuous Integration (CI) und Continuous Delivery (CD) integriert sind, lassen sich Fehlschläge und Verzögerungen vermeiden. Bei Verstößen gegen die IT-Governance drohen Produktionsausfälle und hohe Geldstrafen.
Das Webinar zeigt mit praktischen Beispielen, wie Sie Sicherheit und Compliance in den Abläufen in Ihrem Unternehmen implementieren können.
Different situations, different teams, and different requirements call for different ways to approach your software delivery initiatives. Your road to success might mean taking the highway or a shortcut to get the job done. However, regardless of your cloud, container, security, compliance, or ITSM goals, all roads eventually lead to the same destination…DevOps.
Industry thought leader and award-winning author Gene Kim, and XebiaLabs Vice President of Customer Success, T.j. Randall, will discuss various strategies IT teams can use to succeed with their DevOps journey without getting lost on the way.
Reaching Cloud Utopia: How to Create a Single Pipeline for Hybrid DeploymentsXebiaLabs
DevOps trends show that, in 2019, large enterprises are accelerating their migration to the cloud and defining goals for the number of applications to migrate over the coming year. To set themselves up for success, companies are not only looking for the right people and processes, but also the right technology for helping them transition to the cloud in a controlled fashion—without throwing compliance, auditability, and security out the window.
So how can organizations gain visibility into which versions of their applications live where, even when running on containers in some environments and on legacy infrastructure on others? And how can they reuse existing environment-specific configurations?
Avoid Troubled Waters: Building a Bridge Between ServiceNow and CI/CDXebiaLabs
DevOps has made great strides in reducing bottlenecks in the software delivery process. Yet, it is surprising how many organizations keep DevOps on a separate track from long-established IT service management (ITSM) implementations and systems such as ServiceNow. Consequently, development teams find it challenging to track features, user stories, and IT service requests across different tools for backlog management and ITSM.
But how do they make sure tickets are closed when the work is complete? How can they ensure compliance? And can they answer the ultimate question: Which feature actually made it into which release?
Shift Left and Automate: How to Bake Compliance and Security into Your Softwa...XebiaLabs
Organizations struggle to deliver more and more software releases while keeping up with ever-increasing security risks and compliance issues across many different applications, teams, and environments. The stakes of that struggle are high: when risk assessment, security testing, and compliance evaluation aren't built into the CI/CD pipeline, releases fail and cause delays, security vulnerabilities threaten Production, and IT governance violations result in expensive fines.
While it is important to reflect on the past, DevOps is all about what’s to come. Join industry thought-leader Gene Kim and XebiaLabs' VP of Product Development, Andreas Prins, for a special end-of-the-year webinar exploring six crucial focus areas for DevOps in 2019. Will next year bridge the gap between business and technology? Will organizations finally be able to use their vast amounts of DevOps data to more accurately predict delivery outcomes? Take a look into our crystal ball for an hour of software soothsaying before the clock strikes midnight.

It’s hard to believe, but DevOps has been around for nearly ten years. From its specialist “unicorn” origins to a broadly accepted set of principles adopted by companies of all sizes and stripe, it’s been one of the most transformative movements in information technology since the PC. What comes next? Forrester Principal Analyst and DevOps Lead Charles Betz shares his 2018 research and predictions for next year.

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).

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:

Transforming IT Operations for greater business
value
§ Current State of IT Operations is chaotic
§ What can we expect in 2014 and 2015?
§ IT budgets stay flat
§ Process lag among Dev, QA, Ops continues
§ Release management remains a challenge
§ Reasons?
§ IT is always firefighting
§ Not enough automation
§ Fragmentation of ops
6. 6
Transforming IT Operations for greater
business value
§ IT Ops requires a structural change
§ Traditional view of IT is about keeping the lights on
§ Ops teams spend a lot of time firefighting
§ The rate of change has quickened, ops teams are spread too thin
§ Traditional model of IT and Ops not sufficient
§ Agile and lean principles can help streamline operations
§ DevOps does just that
7. 7
Why DevOps? – Challenges for the Business
§ The changing business context
§ Exposure to multiple target platforms – Self hosted, Mobile, Public Cloud
§ Accelerated pace of development to cope with growing volumes
§ Businesses need a handle on development processes
§ IT needs to deliver value sooner, with constant or shrinking budgets
§ Need to ensure optimal performance and security of production apps
§ Business needs higher throughput from IT
§ DevOps brings Agile practices and thinking to operations
§ Helps remove slack from the value delivery chain
8. 8
Why DevOps? – Challenges for IT
§ The traditional separation between Dev and Ops not working
§ Defects caught in production take a long time to fix in development
§ Code in dev and production soon goes out of sync
§ Diminishing process visibility, need for better KM practices
§ High offshore attrition rate, lack of skilled resources
§ The rate of handoffs has increased
§ Operations can’t cope with the increased workload and ensure production stability simultaneously
§ Release automation solutions help make deployments more predictable
§ And provide diagnostic , troubleshooting information in case of failures
§ Increasingly operators are taking on development responsibilities and vice versa
§ A holistic approach to IT is needed, ITSM can serve as the glue between Dev and Ops
§ Also close the loop from the end user side by integrating defect tracking with the help desk
9. 9
What is DevOps?
§ DevOps is Agile Operations
§ DevOps goals
§ Better resource provisioning for production
§ Better collaboration between different teams
§ Better release management
§ Less production defects
§ More automation
§ Shorter release cycles
§ Continuous Delivery
§ Streamlined process from development to deployment – A pipeline!
§ Improved production performance management
10. 10
What is DevOps?
§ Dev is agile, operations needs to be agile too!
§ Integrated dev and ops
§ Invest in
§ People
§ Processes
§ Tools
§ Plan for Continuous Delivery
§ Reduce test backlog
§ Implement test automation earlier in the lifecycle
§ Templates & best practice guides
§ Increase accountability, reduce handoffs
11. 11
What is DevOps? – People
§ Organizational structure
§ Cross functional teams
§ Organize for micro agility
§ Move the ball together
§ Reduce handoffs
§ Skill development
12. 12
What is DevOps? – Process
§ Start early, plan ahead!
§ DevOps considerations should be incorporated at the requirements stage itself
§ A major chunk of the non functional requirements are indeed operational
aspects of the system
§ Production monitoring
§ Transaction logging, metrics collection
§ Security
§ Target platform configuration management
§ Availability
13. 13
What is DevOps? – Process
§ After the requirements and design stage, DevOps is about automation and
collaboration
§ Automate development activities such as
§ Builds
§ Tests
§ Deployment
§ Devs - Collaborate with Ops
§ Look at the application end to end
§ Post release
§ Monitor
§ Measure
§ Improve through iteration
§ Don’t forget – ITSM the glue! We need to close the loop from the end user side.
14. 14
What is DevOps? – Tools
§ What can be automated?
§ Builds – Build Management, Build Automation
§ Tests – Test Management, Test Automation
§ Deployments – Environment Provisioning and Deployment Automation
§ Release Coordination and Management
§ System Configuration and Roll-Out
§ Metrics Collection and Monitoring
§ Collate Metrics for capacity planning
§ Trend and Issue analysis
§ Share metrics among teams for better collaboration
§ Feedback helps improve performance
§ Performance Management
§ Organizations already have some pieces of the puzzle!
15. 15
What is DevOps? – Tools (Cloud)
§ Why DevOps in the cloud?
§ Clouds can be accessed through APIs and are therefore programmable
§ Infrastructure elements turn into programmable components and can be automated
§ Location transparency allows scaling or node failures to be handled more effectively
§ DevOps in the cloud is about automation and repeatable processes
§ Automation helps you scale effectively
§ Resources can be provisioned on demand
§ With DevOps + Cloud your resource requirements go down
§ Helps create self-healing systems
§ Dynamic Dev, QA, and Production Environments
§ Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment
16. 16
Continuous Delivery
§ To automate the deployment of changes, new versions of software to
production environments if they pass all quality checks.
§ DevOps is an idea, continuous delivery is an implementable process.
§ It’s a moving target for most organizations
§ Aim for continuous delivery and whatever you hit will be an improvement over
the status quo
§ Design apps for continuous delivery – manage system state in config files
§ Do UAT in production!
17. 17
The BIG picture – DevOps Adoption
§ DevOps will not work with the ‘hole in the floor’ approach
§ Stakeholder buy-in is essential to DevOps success
§ It is easy to get bogged down with definitions and buzzwords
§ Understand what DevOps means in the context of your organization
§ Understand why it’s required, and the problem that you are
trying to solve
§ Identify where the process bottlenecks are
18. 18
The BIG picture – The takeaway
§ To improve, you need feedback on what went wrong
§ To improve faster, you need faster feedback
§ Managing enterprise IT in the present context is about constantly improving/shortening the
feedback loops
§ Agile is for business agility
§ Enabling IT to deliver sooner, and exploit opportunities within their value-frame.
§ Enable IT to correct course in-flight with shorter feedback loops
§ Shorter feedback loops are possible by dividing the work in manageable chunks
§ Atomic accountability
19. 19
Some Numbers on Release Mgmt.
§ Faulty releases account for 70% of all production failures; 30% is faulty code.
§ DevOps and CD help achieve faster time to market by avoiding big bang
releases, and with the help of automation. Around 20% time saved. For greater
benefits orgs need service virtualization during testing.
§ Avoid faulty releases by 70% (see above), more importantly minimize the
business impact of a faulty release with automated rollback. Restore service
10-15x faster.
§ Release frequently in short increments 80-100% safer releases. NO more code
freeze!
20. 20
Case Study – a large global financial services
company
§ Company A was used to half yearly, big bang releases. Roughly 37-40% of all
releases failed on first deployment. Invariably the error would be due to a
manual error, such as missing config file entry, wrong path, wrong IP when
moving to production from staging and so on, at times the defect would take a
few hours time to locate and fix. In a few cases it would be a code error and it
would take longer.
§ The devs and operations team were scared of releasing code, they ran through
lengthy checklists, code reviews, the whole team spent 2-3 days preparing for
the release. For a 15 member team it meant wasting around 300 person-hours
per release.
§ With DevOps & CD (automation) the release prep time has come down to 20
minutes per release. They release more frequently, averaging 3 releases a
month, an 18x increase. Faults due to manual error have been eliminated.

▪ Ultimately, there’s only one metric that matters for most enterprises:
The Bottom Line
− But it’s surprisingly hard to gain useful information about the impact of a new feature on the bottom line
if changes are always Big Bangs
− One important goal of DevOps & Continuous Delivery is thus to enable smaller changes to be made
more regularly to allow for better analysis of the effectiveness of changes
− Of course, we need to have the ability to monitor business value generated by our systems in order to
make this possible!
