DevOps is much more than tooling and technical details, it’s first and foremost a cultural and operational shift. This deck was given at www.devopscon.com, and covers some of the principles and best practices preached for by devops thought leaders such as John Allspaw, Jesse Robbins, Adrian Cockroft, Jez Humble and others.
We will go over the motivations for wix.com R&D to move to a CI/CD/TDD model, how the model was implemented and the impact on Wix R&D. We will cover the tools used (developed in-house and 3rd party), change in methodologies, what we have learned during the transformation and the unexpected change in working with product and the rest of the company.

WinOps Conf 2016 - Matteo Emili - Development and QA Dilemmas in DevOpsWinOps Conf
The quick rise of Continuous Delivery in the enterprise means that common problems are often approached the other way round. Concepts like Feature Flags and Testing In Production caused several headaches to developers and QA engineers, especially where they have a wealth of experience about traditional development.
There are some challenges and approaches which are very common, and they still scare newcomers. Let's have a look at a few of these, with the most common solutions.

AWS Summit Sydney 2014 | The Path to Business Agility for Vodafone: How Amazo...Amazon Web Services
As part of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA)’s company-wide mission to win back customers, the VHA Digital Products division, with the help of DiUS, built a strategic internal agile development and innovation capability. By leveraging AWS, VHA now has the powerful ability to be more responsive, to experiment, fail-fast and in turn, to deliver an improved customer experience across all digital touchpoints.
The microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API.
In this slide we have discussed, Monolithic application vs Microservices, applicable scenarios for adopting the architectural pattern, when we need microservices, what are the benefits, case study of an e-commerce platform by compartmentalizing the scopes into different sample microservices and Docker implementations.

Slam Dunk with Splunk and Stash Data CenterAtlassian
Splunk decided to switch from Perforce to Git, and needed a scalable solution for repository management. Since they were already knee-deep in the Atlassian stack, they chose Bitbucket Data Center (formerly Stash Data Center). Join Kurt and Christopher as they tell Splunk's story – from assessment and architecture, to configuration plans and results. If your team is switching to Git on any scale and looking to speed up your development lifecycle, this session is for you!
How to be Successful in the DevOps BusinessAtlassian
If you know enough to be "dangerous" with DevOps, then you may wonder how a trend so focused on automation fits with Atlassian. DevOps is unleashing the potential in many teams and there's far more to it than just automation – DevOps is a cultural movement that is changing the way teams collaborate. As the DevOps movement gathers momentum, there is an opportunity for savvy Atlassian Ecosystem developers to make a name for themselves with innovative DevOps add-ons.
In this session, Ian Buchanan takes a business view of the DevOps market to help you learn:
- How do I profit (more) from the DevOps market? What are some business implications of DevOps?
- What product opportunities are there in the Atlassian ecosystem? What kinds of add-ons will thrive in a DevOps world?
- Why is now the time to make a change to embrace DevOps as a market? What does it take to get started?

DCSF 19 Modern Orchestrated IT for Enterprise CMSDocker, Inc.
Wiley’s Education Services (WES) leverages a mix of CMS platforms across their 50+ student information sites for major universities throughout the world. Traditionally these sites have been housed as part of a multi-site CMS install on a single VM, and eventually across 2 VMs. Failure of either one of these VMs would mean an outage for one or all of the hosted sites. As Wiley’s leadership looked forward, they recognized the risks involved with their current design and identified Docker as a way to mitigate these risks.
WES began their investigation in to Docker to address issues of fault tolerance, consistency, and portability. They used this opportunity to modernize their workflows and reduce risk by promoting Docker images through their dev, preview, and production environments using CI/CD. This increased their confidence in deployments and reduced the need for maintenance windows. Early in the process, WES brought in BoxBoat as subject matter experts to accelerate their migration, and architect their Docker EE solution. Through the use of well-defined workflows and persistent storage, applications are continually redeployed and restored between environments with zero downtime and no loss of data. Additionally developers can pull down and run any of the sites independently with configuration that matches production. Join this sessions to learn about the challenges and triumphs that Wiley faced when orchestrating CMS deployments in Docker!
We'll discover the reasons why it is a risky bet to not *aim* to manage infrastructure and its configuration with idempotence and immutability at heart.
Sharing real world experience, we'll see why configurations should not be done by humans (it's like playing Djenga), and why what may work at the beginning does not work over a long period of time or scale (pet vs cattle problem).
About the idea of DevOps, why we implemented DevOps and what we did, what is important !
About our road from waterfall/ITIL and silo structures to DevOps/Agile culture.

Everything You Know is Not Quite Right Anymore: Rethinking Best Practices to ...Dave Olsen
We’re entering a new era where an increasing number of devices with wildly divergent features -- including phones, tablets, game consoles, and TVs -- are connected to the Internet. As the way people access the Internet changes, there is an urgent need to rethink how we use the web to communicate. This doesn't mean creating separate solutions for each device but rather preparing our existing content to meet this increasingly unpredictable future. Dave Olsen and Doug Gapinski will share and examine examples that show how responsive design will help institutions rethink and adjust for the future-friendly web.
Primary topics that are covered are: understanding the reality of web development today, example RWD design patterns, and understanding how to test and optimize the performance of your RWD website.

Jeffrey Snover - Empowering DevOps with Azure StackWinOps Conf
Azure Stack is the first product in a new category – the hybrid cloud platform. It is a radical new product that you can think of as delivering the cloud equivalent of a SAN. Delivering a set of IaaS/PaaS Services, APIs, PowerShell and tooling experiences that are consistent with Azure allows it to run solutions from the Azure Marketplace. This allows companies to focus their dev and ops teams on the things that move their business forward, building applications which drive customer value.
This session focuses on what Azure Stack is and is not. It articulates the key values it delivers and use cases it enables.

Retrospective on steroids - Toyota KataHåkan Forss
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
You have been doing agile for a few years now. With a regular cadence you have retrospectives and a lot of problems and great improvement opportunities are raised but you don't seem to really improve. Let us put your retrospectives on steroids. Start using Toyota Kata!
Building on the power of habits, Toyota Kata will help you build a daily continuous learning and improvement culture, a kaizen culture.
In this session, you will be introduced to the two main Kata* of the Toyota Kata, the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata. You will learn how the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata can become your “muscle memory” for continuous learning and improvements in your organization. These daily habits or routines will help you to strive towards your state of awesomeness in small experiments focused on learning. The Improvement Kata will form the habits of doing small daily experiments focused on learning and improving. The Coaching Kata will form the habits of the agile leaders for creating a culture of continuous improvement, adaption, and innovation.
In this session, Toyota Kata will be taken out of the manufacturing context and put it into the knowledge work context. You will learn how you can start applying the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata in a software development context as a compliment or a replacement of the agile retrospective.
Time to stop collecting problems and start forming new habits of learning and improving!
(*) Kata means pattern, routine, habits or way of doing things. Kata is about creating a fast “muscle memory” of how to take action instantaneously in a situation without having to go through a slower logical procedure. A Kata is something that you practice over and over striving for perfection. If the Kata itself is relative static, the content of the Kata, as we execute it is modified based on the situation and context in real-time as it happens. A Kata as different from a routine in that it contains a continuous self-renewal process.
VoxxedDays LU 2016 - Thoughtworks Go - Continuous Deployment made easy and freeyohanbeschi
ThoughtWorks, a company specialized in agile software development which employs people like Martin Fowler or Jez Humble (some would say "Two agile Gurus") and works on products like CruiseControl or Selenium, made their Continuous Delivery (CD) Platform, called Go, free and Open Source. During this talk we'll define what a CD pipeline is, and why Go make our life easier to build these pipelines compared to Continuous Integration servers twisted to become CD orchestrators.
The continuous innovation model - combining Toyota Kata and TRIZ Teemu Toivonen
Companies are facing increasingly tough competition in the global economy. Previously sustainable competitive advantage strategies are insufficient in the changed market conditions. The only sustainable advantage is continuous innovation at a faster pace than rival organizations. This requires a systematic approach to innovation and engaging staff on all levels to effectively take part in the innovation efforts.
Toyota Kata is proven and highly successful method for continuous improvement at the whole organization level. Toyota Kata was discovered by Mike Rother while he researched Toyota’s quality improvement methods. It is a holistic system method for improvement efforts which contains processes and behavioral patterns for strategically aligned goal setting, problem solving, coaching, management and training. It is a simple and teachable approach which also covers the management of improvement efforts. The downside of the approach is its focus on incremental improvement instead of breakthrough innovation.
The approach can be improved by adding TRIZ techniques like contradiction analyses, FAA, inventive principles and trends of evolution to various parts of the method. This approach will allow to keep the benefits of the Toyota Kata approach while changing the focus from incremental improvement to true innovation. The combined approach is also better suited for the more complex problems of today’s knowledge workers. Toyota Kata can also be used as method for introducing and training TRIZ to the organization in an effective and incremental way.
The combined method for continuous innovation can be further improved with the Lean Startup methods to validate the solutions. The Lean Startup experimentation approach is geared to design quick and inexpensive approaches for the market validations of service, management and software innovations.
Matt Callanan takes the 15 chapters of the famous "Continuous Delivery" book by Jez Humble & Dave Farey and distills it down into 1 hour of convincing arguments, walking through the pieces involved to make it happen including cultural challenges, automated testing, automated deployment & deployment pipelines. Not sure how to get started with DevOps? Finding it hard to convince colleagues & managers that CD is the way forward? Matt has used this presentation to help facilitate enterprise-wide adoption of Continuous Delivery. Slides from a presentation given at DevOps Brisbane March 2014.

How Continuous Delivery and Lean Management Make your DevOps AmazeballsNicole Forsgren
Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present the latest research that uncovers what really drives business outcomes of market share, profitability, and productivity as well as DevOps transformation awesomeness... Hint: these include continuous delivery (and what is most important when you do CD) and lean management (and what that means for us). This exciting research was done with Jez Humble and Gene Kim, and is promising exciting new projects in the space.
This is a presentation I gave to 100+ people at Rev1 Ventures in Columbus, OH. The presentation was about how to define DevOps. Like any new concept, there are multiple and sometimes competing definitions. I've found that implementations of DevOps can change but there are some very common anti-patterns. Lastly, I talk about how we implement DevOps at Bold Penguin.
De facto DevOps, de facto Agile. Today DevOps is the Manufacturing Revolution of Our Age. There is no escape for us. When got a DevOps, you got a DevOps.
DevOps simply is the combination of cultural philosophies,practices,and tools that increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity : evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes.
Two years ago at Devoxx UK we talked about DevOps, what it was, why it was important and how to get started. Boy, was it scary. Now we’re wiser. More battle-scarred. The large scale of the challenge for application writers exploiting cloud and DevOps is clearer, but so is the path forward. Understanding the DevOps approach is important, but equally you must understand specific deployment technologies, security issues, operational reliability, and how to drive organisational transformation. Whether creating simple applications or sophisticated microservice architectures many of the challenges are the same. Join us to learn how you can apply this within your team and company.
Do you need Ops in your new startup? If not now, then when? And...what is Ops?
Learn how to scale ruby-based distributed software infrastructure in the cloud to serve 4,000 requests per second, handle 400 updates per second, and achieve 99.97% uptime – all while building the product at the speed of light.
Unimpressed? Now try doing the above altogether without the Ops team, while growing your traffic 100x in 6 months and deploying 5-6 times a day!
It could be a dream, but luckily it's a reality that could be yours.
stackconf 2021 | How DevOps changed the way we operate softwareNETWAYS
It’s been more than a decade since the inception of devops. A lot has changed since then. We now live in a world where many traditional ops responsibilities distributed among teams. We are also seeing a dramatic change in how we do ops. Ops people are now writing code and testing them the way developers write business logic. But does this give enough context? Of course not. In this talk, we are going to cover how devops change the way we create and run software – and talk about what is next!
Recently I was asked to explain what dev-ops is at a large enterprise software vendor undergoing transformation.
In these slides, I present the concepts, tools and mindset that drive DevOPS.

Intro to DefectDojo at OWASP SwitzerlandMatt Tesauro
You’re tasked with ‘doing AppSec’ for your company and you’ve got more apps and issues than you know how to deal with. How do you make sense of the different tools outputs for all your different apps? DefectDojo can be your one source of truth and become the heart of your AppSec automation program.
DefectDojo grew out of a Product Security program 8 years ago and was created by AppSec people for AppSec people. In this talk, you’ll learn about DefectDojo and how to make the most of the many features it offers including its REST-based API. DefectDojo can be your one source of truth for discovered security vulnerabilities, report generation, aggregation of over 80 different security tools, inventory of applications, tracking testing efforts and metrics on the AppSec program. DefectDojo was the heart of an AppSec automation effort that saw an increase in assessments from 44 to 414 in two years. Don't you want 9.4 times more output from your AppSec program? It's time to ditch spreadsheets and get DefectDojo.
Orchestration tool roundup - OpenStack Israel summit - kubernetes vs. docker...Uri Cohen
It’s no news that containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running container workloads. However, where it usually becomes more complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers. What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome because you need to make one container aware of another and expose intimate details that are required for them to communicate which is not trivial especially if they’re not on the same host.
These scenarios have instigated the demand for some kind of orchestrator. The list of container orchestrators is growing fairly fast. This session will compare the different orchestation projects out there - from Heat to Kubernetes to TOSCA - and help you choose the right tool for the job.
Financial services front and back office applications require the use of various messaging standards and formats as well as an extremely scalable data ingestion and processing platform. This slide deck describes the benefits of GigaSpaces XAP in that specific context.
Deployment Automation on OpenStack with TOSCA and CloudifyUri Cohen
TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) is an emerging standard for modeling complete application stacks and automating their deployment and management. It’s been discussed in the context of OpenStack for quite some time, mostly around Heat. In this slide deck discusses what TOSCA is all about, why it makes sense in the context of OpenStack, and how we can take it farther up the stack to handle complete applications, both during and after deployment, on top of OpenStack.
Cloud stack collabiration conference - It's the app, stupid!Uri Cohen
Managing and deploying applications on CloudStack (or any other cloud for that matter) can be a daunting task. Resource provisioning, software installation and configuration, failure detection and handling, scaling and continuous delivery are just some of the processes that should be performed (read: automated) in order to do it properly. There are multiple tool chains that tackle some of these processes, each with its own focus and level of control. These can range from pure CM tools such as Chef or Puppet, which focus on repeatable and consistent configuration of servers, all the way to full blown PaaS environments that focus on developer productivity and hide many of the complexities of the underlying infrastructure.
In this session Uri will present the problem domain of application deployment and management on the cloud, the benefits and shortcomings of common approaches to it, and what (he believes) is still missing.
Changing organizational culture - a sweaty usecaseUri Cohen
You Thought Implementing Devops Is Hard? Try Building a Shower in Your Workplace
This is my ignite talk from devopsdays Tel Aviv, it is about hacking organizational culture, and how a seemingly impossible venture (building a fully functional shower in a place where there is no room or budget for it) can be made possible with a few simple (but determined) steps. It all started when I wanted to encourage people (including myself) to ride their bicycle to work, but needed a place to wash off our sweat after the intensive morning rides. By using this funny use case I’ll demonstrate a few tricks I used that are very relevant to driving change in any organization.
A Carrier grade PaaS aims to bring the network and application together. That means that application can easily deployed on multiple sites on different physical location as if it was one big data centre. Unlike regular cloud environment where application need to explicitly handle multi-zone deployments with Carrier PaaS the application workload and availability is handled through policy driven approach. The policy describes the desired application SLA and the Carrier PaaS maps the deployment of the application resources on the cloud node that best fit the latency, load or availability requirements.
Your Apps on the Cloud - What it really takes Uri Cohen
Presentation from the DLD Tel Aviv conference: Common myths about pushing apps to the cloud, and what are the drivers to the Cloudify Open Source Framework.
Trade and Event Processing at a Massive Scale - QCon NY 2012Uri Cohen
Efficient, low-latency and in-order trade processing has always been at the focus of financial institutions and investment banks. In a world where every millisecond counts, parallelizing the processing as much as possible is essential. This presentation describes the common patterns for parallelism when handling events at massive scale
DevOps Meets PaaS - NY Meetup with Chef (OpsCode)Uri Cohen
The concept of DevOps and recipes can go well beyond setup, to actually accelerate the entire lifecycle of your applications, from setup, to monitoring, through maintaining high availability, and auto-scaling when required.
Cloudify ties things together from an application perspective and prepares everything so that Chef can run on the proper nodes on the cloud, and then monitors and auto scales your app on any cloud
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
