This document summarizes a presentation on architecting for continuous delivery. It discusses what continuous delivery is, the importance of deployability and testability, and how microservices can help enable continuous delivery. Microservices make the system easier to build, test and maintain through better encapsulation and lower coupling. They also allow independent deployment of components and enable collaboration between teams. The document notes that organizations and systems should have structures that match, and that one team per service is an effective model. It emphasizes that operations at scale require resilience, security, and the ability to deploy reliably to unreliable platforms.
Today, organizations of all shapes and sizes depend on feature-packed application releases to keep end users productive and happy. In their new book, The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations, Gene Kim and his co-authors shared ways that high-performing organizations use DevOps principles to enable reliable deployments - and boring releases!
Gene Kim, CTO, DevOps researcher and co-author of the DevOps Handbook and The Phoenix Project, and Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud shared their tips for overcoming the challenges of DevOps and Continuous Delivery at scale. During the webinar, they discussed:
- The business value of DevOps
- How to eliminate “deployment anxiety” and increase business agility
- Lessons learned from large scale DevOps transformations
- The advantages and disadvantages of practicing DevOps in large organizations
The Coming Earthquake in IIS and SQL Configuration ManagementJules Pierre-Louis
A marketing-free, engineering-led webinar: What was “state of the art” in IIS configuration management has changed a lot in just a few years. It is about to change a lot more. Hear DevOps and IT automation practitioners and visionaries outline recent IIS configuration management evolution and contrast that to the coming revolution. Q&A afterwards.
KEYNOTE | WHAT'S COMING IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS OF DEVOPS? // ELLEN CHISA, bolds...DevOpsDays Tel Aviv
Fifteen years ago, we'd barely started to use S3, and ten years ago DevOps was the new thing. Today, we can add a new tool, technology, or trick every week, and more and more work is shifted into the application developer's workflow. If security, resiliency, and incident response become part of product teams, where will we be ten years from now, and what should we do today to get ready?
DevOps Friendly Doc Publishing for APIs & MicroservicesSonatype
Mandy Whaley, CISCO
Microservices create an explosion of internal and external APIs. These APIs need great docs. Many organizations end up with a jungle of wiki pages, swagger docs and api consoles, and maybe just a few secret documents trapped in chat room somewhere… Keeping docs updated and in sync with code can be a challenge.
We’ve been working on a project at Cisco DevNet to help solve this problem for engineering teams across Cisco. The goal is to create a forward looking developer and API doc publishing pipeline that:
Has a developer friendly editing flow
Accepts many API spec formats (Swagger, RAML, etc)
Supports long form documentation in markdown
Is CI/CD pipeline friendly so that code and docs stay in sync
Flexible enough to be used by a wide scope of teams and technologies
We have many interesting lessons learned about tooling and how to solve documentation challenges for internal and external facing APIs. We have found that solving this doc publishing flow is a key component of a building modern infrastructure. This is most definitely a culture + tech + ops + dev story, we look forward to sharing with the DevOps Days community.

Leverage DevOps & Agile Development to Transform Your Application Testing Pro...Deborah Schalm
Discover how Sona Srinivasan, Senior Architect of Cisco IT’s Global Architecture and Technology Services group, helps transform an IT DevOps strategy to a Security DevOps strategy, with IBM Security's assistance. Cisco is presently implementing continuous security and agile methods throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), and specific examples of current initiatives will be reviewed in this session.
Much attention is focused to the technology aspects of DevOps, including how to automate security testing. But DevOps is as much a cultural movement as anything else, with a strong focus on feedback loops and continuous improvement. How can organizations implement these aspects of DevOps culture when integrating security, given the massive shortfall in skilled information security personnel? This talk discusses organizational and cultural aspects of DevOps with an emphasis on the role of “security champions”—developers cross-trained in information security basics—in executing a successful DevSecOps transformation.

To successfully implement continuous delivery in an enterprise, there are specific needs and obstacles which must be addressed. In this webinar, we’ll address the pain points that most enterprises face, and how they can be overcome.
(Talk given at Continuous Lifecycle London 2016)
Continuous Delivery techniques and practices are often misunderstood. This session will explore some Continuous Delivery anti-patterns based on work 'in the wild' with a wide range of organisations across different industry sectors:
- Believing that "Continuous Delivery is not for us"
- Ignoring the database
- Thinking that a deployment pipeline is just a series of chained jobs in Jenkins
- Not funding the build/test/deployment capability properly
- No effective logging or application metrics
By avoiding these pitfalls, we can increase the effectiveness of our software delivery efforts.
At Ustream the teams developing the streaming technology stack are also responsible for operating it. This means we have our monitoring and alerting in place (including those based on error logs I mentioned above, but many others too) which alert the engineers themselves. 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
CI/CD Best Practices for Your DevOps JourneyDevOps.com
The journey to realizing DevOps in any organization is fraught with a number of obstacles for developers and other stakeholders. These challenges are often caused by key CI/CD practices being misunderstood, partially implemented or even completely skipped. Now, as the industry positions itself to build on DevOps practices with a Software Delivery Management strategy, it’s more important than ever that we implement CI/CD best practices, and prepare for the future.
Join host Mitchell Ashely, and CloudBees’ Brian Dawson, DevOps evangelist, and Doug Tidwell, technical marketing director, as they explore and review the CI/CD best practices which serve as your stepping stones to DevOps and a successful Software Delivery Management strategy.
The webinar will cover CI/CD best practices including:
Containers and environment management
Continuous delivery or deployment
Movement from Dev to Ops
By the end of the webinar, you’ll understand the key steps for implementing CI/CD and powering your journey to DevOps and beyond.
DevOps is an increasingly useful tool for achieving business objectives, enabling your teams to work together to improve the efficiency and quality of software delivery. However, despite its growing popularity, there is still a lack of clarity over what DevOps actually means, how organizations should do it and what's the best way to get started.
DevOps 101 takes a brief look at the history of DevOps, why it started, what problems it is intended to solve and how you can start implementing it.
The slides were delivered by James Betteley, Head of Education at the DevOpsGuys in a one-hour webinar. The full recording is available here - https://youtu.be/4gC3WpbetKs?t=2s
James has spent the last few years neck-deep in the world of DevOps transformation, helping a wide range of organizations optimize the way they collaborate to deliver better software, faster. James was joined by Elizabeth Ayer, Portfolio Manager, from Redgate Software. Elizabeth looks after a range of Redgate products that help teams extend their DevOps practices to SQL Server databases.

Security Implications for a DevOps TransformationDeborah Schalm
If your organization is undergoing a DevOps transformation, you’re probably thinking about where security fits in. All too often, we tack on security testing at the end of the delivery process, which means significant problems go undetected until development is complete. As we adopt DevOps principles and practices, we enable a natural solution to this problem: ensure that security experts are involved throughout the delivery process.
In this webinar, DevOps.com and Puppet defined a reference implementation of DevOps from the ground up, by illustrating how the software delivery process evolves at a hypothetical startup. Once we've laid a technical foundation for DevOps, we discussed the implications for security. We also discussed:
Benefits for and challenges to security during a DevOps transformation
How to craft a DevOps-ready security practice
Refinements of a standard DevOps workflow to address security needs

Over the years, application security (appsec) has made progress, but it has also made some considerable mis-steps. Appsec focuses almost solely on developer awareness and secure development training as remediation. This isn’t sustainable and arguably does little good. There is a better way, but we have to separate ourselves from the core assumptions we have made that got us here.

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.
