The Rise of DataOps: Making Big Data Bite Size with DataOpsDelphix
Kellyn Pot'Vin Gorman presented this talk on May 23, 2018 at Data Summit 2018. Database Trends & Applications covered her talk in the following article https://t.co/J6dk30iPkc
An examination at the nexus of agile delivery and architecture, including a hypothesis that Architecture-as-a-Product vs. Information Systems Change-as-a-Product is a key determinant how the agile mindset applies to the practice of architecture.
The presentation concludes with a review of the subject as covered in select industry sources, in particular The Open Group's Open Agile Architecture standard.
Presented to the Perth Solutioniser School Meetup on the 14th of April, 2021.
Businesses are speeding up development and automating operations to remain competitive and to get large organizations to scale. Project based monolithic application updates are replaced by product teams owning containerized microservices. This puts developers on call, responsible for pushing code to production, fixing it when it breaks, and managing the cost and security aspects of running their microservices. In this world operations skill-sets are either embedded in the microservices development teams, or building and operating API driven platforms. The platform automates stress testing, canary based deployment, penetration testing and enforces availability and security requirements. There are no meetings or tickets to file in the delivery process for updating a containerized microservice, which can happen many times a day, and takes seconds to complete. The role of site reliability engineering moves from firefighting and fixing outages to buiding tools for finding problems and routing those problems to the right developers. SREs manage the incident lifecycle for customer visible problems, and measure and publish availability metrics. This may sound futuristic but Werner Vogels described this as “You build it, you run it” in 2006.
This session was held by Vladimir Brenner, Partner Account Manager, Disruptors & AI, Intel AI at the Dive into H2O: London training on June 17, 2019.

Ensuring Cloud Native Success: The Greenfield JourneyVMware Tanzu
Speaker: Coté, Director, Technical Marketing, Pivotal
Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.

You can watch the replay for this Geek Sync webcast in the IDERA Resource Center: http://ow.ly/4ab250A5qUq
Continuous delivery is all the hype in software development. However, databases are being neglected as DBAs just don't seem to trust database automation.
This is not surprising when you consider the number of incidents and instances of downtime that were caused by out-of-process updates, code overrides and other database glitches.
In this session, we will explain what continuous delivery for databases is all about, why DBAs are so mistrusting, and ways to overcome that mistrust and conquer database automation.

Abstract:
For many years software engineers have put enormous effort to develop best practices to deliver stable and maintainable software. How R users can benefit from this experience? I will try to answer this question going through several concepts and tools that are natural for software engineers but are often undervalued by R users.
I will start with a description of the deployment process because this is the ultimate step that exposes all weaknesses. You will learn about structuring R project, using abstractions to manage model’s features, automating models building process, optimizing the performance of the solution and the challenges of the deployment process itself.

Pay pal paypal continuous performance as a self-service with fully-automated...Dynatrace
PayPal's ongoing leadership as an industry innovator requires faster development cycles and increased adoption of continuous testing practices. For special efforts, the development teams needed more frequent feedback about application performance, scalability limitations and variances between builds. Accelerating the frequency of performance simulations would help increase the rate of innovation and improve the quality of code delivered to production.
In this session we'll review some the automation techniques that helped PayPal Credit increase testing feedback from a monthly effort to a nearly-continuous daily activity. We'll spend time looking at the benefits of a fully-automated, actionable performance feedback loop that delivers performance feedback to developers in hours rather than weeks or months. Additionally, we will take a closer look at how these changes impacted the culture of development and operations, improving both the quality of critical thinking about performance and the value delivered back to the business.
This "Secret Sauce" session will include conceptual learnings and hands-on demonstration:
- What a continuous performance environment looks like and the benefits it brings to your DevOps team
- How to create a parallel pipeline for on-demand performance feedback using JIRA, Rundeck, JMeter and Dynatrace
- Where and how to leverage performance feedback to optimize flow
- How to get engineers on-board and excited about building better performant code
Thinking DevOps in the era of the Cloud - Demi Ben-AriDemi Ben-Ari
