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?

See how the latest advances in DevOps innovation will help you meet your DevOps goals faster! The first goal-based DevOps Intelligence solution, XL Impact calculates and tracks the health of your Continuous Delivery pipeline with integrated KPIs. It combines DevOps best practices with historical analysis, machine learning, and data from across your tool chain to show trends, predict outcomes, and recommend actions. Learn how DevOps Intelligence will help you optimize your delivery pipeline and drive ROI for your organizational transformation.
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
DevOps isn’t just for the “unicorn” companies out there like Google and Apple. DevOps practices are rapidly hitting the mainstream as more organizations realize the need to behave like software companies and improve how they work in order to deliver better value to customers.
If you’re sold on the value of DevOps but having trouble getting buy-in from your peers and managers, or if you’re not sure where to get started, this webinar is for you. Based on findings from the 2016 State of DevOps Report, our friends at Puppet share a roadmap for driving DevOps adoption within your organization.
We cover:
- How to build the business case for DevOps
- The cultural changes required
- Ways to align incentives and teams to improve collaboration
- Key technical practices of high-performing teams
- Where to start
DevOps, the fusing of software development (Dev) with IT operations (Ops) is growing in popularity. A maturing of the agile software development methodology, DevOps unites developers and IT operations to release high quality code into solidly performing environments more rapidly than is possible with traditional developer-to-ops handoffs. It solves a basic problem that arises with agile methodology, namely that quickly producing new code is of little use if it cannot be deployed on reliable infrastructure.
We nvestigate the ways that DevOps can generate a return on investment (ROI) for an organization that makes DevOps part of its IT strategy. DevOps certainly has great potential for business impact, with beneficial effects reaching far beyond the IT department. The ability to release high quality code efficiently confers benefits on both the income and expense sides of a business, measurable in hard dollars as well as intangible advantages such as increased brand equity.
Getting DevOps to pay off is far from a push-button process, however. CloudMunch offers a number of suggested practices based on its experience in DevOps with large enterprises. Business success with DevOps involves choreographing between people, organizational culture and the DevOps platform and tools. The paper explores practices related to setting up DevOps so that everyone on both Dev and Ops teams can get early, instant feedback on project work. In addition, it looks at practices to ensure that DevOps tools and processes can access the entire application lifecycle, which is critical to DevOps work.
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
As companies have adopted faster development methodologies a new constraint has emerged in the journey to digital transformation: data. Data has long been the neglected discipline, the weakest link in the tool chain, with provisioning times still counted in days, weeks, or even months. In addition, most companies are still using decades-old processes to manage and deploy database changes, further anchoring development teams.
That DevOps and Agile bring benefit is self-evident; these slides explore how the key benefits can be quantified such that a business case can be built.
How does DevOps impact our tools? This presentation looks at how tools from development to release to monitoring fit together to deliver better for the whole team.
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.

Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps TransformationsTasktop
IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company.
They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle.
In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.

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.

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.

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:
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.

We renamed our testing
team and called it DevOps.
Can we fire all our sysadmins and
make devs “full stack engineers”?
This is for startups,
not real businesses.
Our company does ITIL, so
no DevOps for us.
Nobody even knows
what DevOps is.
I bought six units of DevOps from
my vendor. Did I do it right?

Establish trust within and across teams
Ok to “trust but verify”
19. @rseroter #Agile2017
Continuous learning,
improvement
Requires introspection, identifying root
cause of problems

eliminate specialties
Compress management hierarchy,
break up functional silos
Establish new workspace layout
27. @rseroter #Agile2017
Team standups
Brief opportunity to orient the team
Share milestones, blockers, help
needed
Share continuous improvement
activities with the group
Leaders must set an example
28. @rseroter #Agile2017
On-call engineering
Rotate team members through on-call
Responsible for service support
Puts the focus on the customer
Encourages instrumentation and
continuous improvement
Keeps the rest of the team focused
29. @rseroter #Agile2017
Agile planning of small batches
Ship often, get fast feedback
Product owner maintains backlog, team
decides when sprint is “full”
Tasks scoped to max of two days work
Scope doesn’t change
Team always ships at the end of a
sprint
30. @rseroter #Agile2017
Continuous integration
Daily check-ins to master branch
Some form of TDD is critical
Offers fast feedback, smaller problem
surface to investigate
“Green” builds are good, “red” should
not be feared
31. @rseroter #Agile2017
Treat infrastructure as code
All interactions with infrastructure done
via source-controlled artifacts
Make infrastructure work visible work
Establishes standardized processes
that are repeatable
Eliminate wasteful snowflake
environments
32. @rseroter #Agile2017
You build it, you run it
Long-lived service teams vs. project
teams
Develop customer empathy, foster
continuous improvement
Helps prevent overloaded releases
Improves stability of key services
33. @rseroter #Agile2017
Comprehensive telemetry
No guesswork during service
interruptions
Heavily instrumented environments,
with event-driven notifications
Need baselines to identify anomalies
Over-alerting causes fatigue
35. @rseroter #Agile2017
Standard tools and processes
Avoid unique toolchain across teams
Empower teams to suggest
improvements to standard tools
Automation is often, but not always, the
answer
36. @rseroter #Agile2017
Continuous delivery,
deployment
Should be boring process that doesn’t
cause service downtime
Consider what it takes to fully package
software for deployment
Partner with security and compliance
groups
Operations skills come in handy here
37. @rseroter #Agile2017
Show-and-tell sessions
Help others learn from your success
and failure
Create possibilities for reuse across
teams
Visibility helps other teams coordinate
their own milestones
Encourages experimentation and
continuous learning
38. @rseroter #Agile2017
Variations of DevOps
SREs maintain large systems at Google,
consult others
Platform Ops is about teams that
improve and operate platforms used by
others
41. @rseroter #Agile2017
The DevOps toolchain
Collaboration
Planning
Source control
Issue tracking
Configuration management
Development environments
Packaging, artifact management
CI / CD
Application platforms
Monitoring
42. @rseroter #Agile2017
Collaboration
Connect your teams
Improves situational awareness
Chat rooms, knowledge repositories
Quick collaboration prevents waiting
waste
Examples: Slack, Microsoft Teams,
GitHub Wikis
43. @rseroter #Agile2017
Planning
Improved visibility of upcoming work
Dynamic tools, not static documents
Easy to see bottlenecks, breakdown in
flow
Also makes sense to include bugs, toil
in planning view
Examples: Pivotal Tracker, Trello, Jira
44. @rseroter #Agile2017
Source control
Possibly the most important tool in a
DevOps environment
Store code, config, scripts
Avoid transportation waste of moving
code around unnecessarily
Change history is important
Examples: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket,
Subversion
45. @rseroter #Agile2017
Issue tracking
Single way to collect, triage, and
respond to issues
Avoid info lost in transit
Helps improve the feedback loop
Product defects likely tracked
elsewhere
Examples: ZenDesk, GitHub issues,
Jira
46. @rseroter #Agile2017
Configuration management
Enforce state of compute resources
Treat infrastructure as code, and avoid
configuration drift
Changes applied systematically
Sometimes used as infrastructure build
tools
Examples: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt,
CFEngine, BOSH
47. @rseroter #Agile2017
Dev Environments
Consistent developer experiences
No more “works on my machine”
Mix of configuration management and
supportive environments
Cloud IDEs a fit here
Examples: Vagrant, Cloud9, Eclipse
Che
49. @rseroter #Agile2017
CI / CD
Keep code “inventory” small and get
fast feedback on code changes
Call out to code scanning, quality
components
Visible status drives accountability
Pipeline-based models are popular
Examples: Concourse, Jenkins,
CircleCI, Bamboo
50. @rseroter #Agile2017
Application platforms
Modern runtimes that simplify
deployment and ops at scale
Provide APIs for deploying and
managing apps
Designed to reduce toil and automate
lifecycle activities
Examples: Cloud Foundry, AWS
Elastic Beanstalk. Azure App Service
51. @rseroter #Agile2017
Monitoring
DevOps happiness may hinge on your
approach here
Need views of system health, not just
server/app health
Improves transparency, helps reduce
MTTR
Examples: New Relic, Dynatrace,
Datadog, ELK
52. Use DevOps principles and approaches
to deliver more customer-centric
software, faster.
