While many organizations have started to automate their software development processes, many still engineer their infrastructure largely by hand. Treating your infrastructure just like any other piece of code creates a “programmable infrastructure” that allows you to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud. This session will walk through practical examples of how AWS customers have merged infrastructure configuration with application code to create application-specific infrastructure and a truly unified development lifecycle. You will learn how AWS customers have leveraged tools like CloudFormation, orchestration engines, and source control systems to enable their applications to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud, create self-reliant applications, and easily recover when things go seriously wrong with their infrastructure.

Funny stories and anti-patterns from DevOps landscapeMikalai Alimenkou
During last several years DevOps became strong buzzword used almost in every project, team and company. But almost everywhere it is used in very funny and strange context. For example, existing ops guys are renamed to DevOps just to sell them to the client for more money. Or DevOps is used as new job title for some magically powerful person who is able to operate cloud environment and modern infrastructure related tools, leading team of old school ops and participating in management meetings. In this talk I’m going to review all different anti-patterns and bad practices in DevOps landscape using stories from my personal experience as Delivery Manager and independent consultant.

DEVNET-2015 DevOps In Depth - Damon Edwards on DevOps Kaizen: Building an Ent...Cisco DevNet
Damon Edwards will be discussiong DevOps Kaizen: Building an Enterprise’s Capability to Change -- There are plenty of aspirational DevOps stories about organizations achieving blistering speed and dazzling nimbleness. But when you look at your own organization everything feels complicated, contentious, and stuck. How do you get started? How do you overcome the silos, the legacy, the entrenched behaviors? This talk is about starting and sustaining a DevOps transformation in large and complex of organizations using a methodical -- and totally reasonable -- Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) approach. This talk isn't about mythical silver bullets. It's about real examples of enterprises that learned to fix themselves by taking a fresh look at proven techniques
Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Kanban method, including the history and motivation, the core principles and practices, and how these apply to efficiency and process improvement in software development.

Jan de Vries - How to convince your boss that it is DevOps that he wantsAgile Lietuva
- We all know that we could implement DevOps a lot faster if we only would have commitment from our boss. We all know that there is a shiny business case for almost every DevOps implementation
- And we all know that the whole company will reap the benefits regarding speed, agility and stability once we implemented DevOps. Actually, it provides good, fast and cheap at the same time. So, what are we waiting for? What is your boss waiting for? What is C-level waiting for?
- That’s something we will do research on in this workshop. We will also share our research on this from the recent past.
- The workshop starts with a presentation about 7 practices that a company should adopt to be able to apply DevOps.
- The technique that we use is called Appreciative Inquiry. To tackle a problem, it discovers the best practices that work, the reason they work and how these combined practices can be used to avoid the problem ahead and create a strategic change. The aim is to build – or even rebuild – organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn’t.
- So we want to know what your boss is afraid of and what you have already tried to convince him that he is better off with DevOps. You will leave the workshop with the combined Appreciative Inquiry insights of all the attendees
When Management Asks You: “Do You Accept Agile as Your Lord and Savior?” - Ci...admford
Updated version of my original Cyphercon talk. With more useful information regarding how to enact change and better visual representation of certain concepts. This talk was given at CircleCityCon 10 in 2023
When Management Asks You: “Do You Accept Agile as Your Lord and Savior?"admford
So you’ve been told that your organization is going to implement Agile methodologies across ALL of IT, and not just in development. And you’ve been given the responsibility to implement it in Security Operations, and without a clear plan or measurable objectives other than “make the team more efficient”. While one can complain that someone in the C-Suite heard of the book “Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time”, you still have a job to do. So the basics of Project Management, Agile, Scrum & Kanban are covered and how one can shoehorn these concepts into working in an operations context. Oh, and there will also be some finagling of where DevOps stands regarding Agile and Operations.
This session is an overview on what DevOps is (to me) and how it impacts traditional organizations the most. DevOps is way more than just continuous delivery! From an Agile (synergetic) mindset, DevOps takes a step beyond and focusses on automation, collaboration and learning. Apart from that I also look forward to what oppurtunities lie ahead when implementing DevOps.
On March 2nd I presented this DevOps Unraveled session for abt 40 IT-managers at business university Nyenrode. This was part of the Masterclass Agile management
(Dutch website http://www.executiveeducation.nl/open-programmas/programmadetails/masterclass-agile-management/sectie/introductie.html ).
How to become a great DevOps Leader, an ITSM Academy WebinarITSM Academy, Inc.

Slides from presentation by Alex Honor and Damon Edwards at DevOps Connect at RSA 2015 in San Francisco on April 20, 2015.
Abstract:
IT organizations are feeling the squeeze from seemingly conflicting business mandates. At one moment the message is “Go Go Go. DevOps, Lean Startup, Continuous Delivery… move faster and give more people access”. The next moment the message is “Be more secure. Compliance above all. Keep us out of the press!”. Damon Edwards and Alex Honor work with many enterprises who are facing these challenges. This talk is an in the trenches view of how these companies are responding and learning to go faster and be more secure.

18. “DevOps Kaizen”
• Kaizen: Japanese word for improvement
• Modern business context:
• Continuous improvement
• Systematic, scientific-method approach
• Total engagement of the workforce
• Valuing small changes as much as large changes

• DevOps context:
• Continuously improve the flow of work through the full
value stream in order to improve customer outcomes

I’m a really lucky guy... I get to do a lot of things that give me inside access to seeing how some of the most interesting companies in the world run. Where they are succeeding, where they are failing, what their hopes and dreams are... Two main things I’m up to right now.
doing a lot with Gene Kim lately
great job cataloging capabilities high performance… version control, infrastructure as code, dev do deploys…
But what is singular characteristic that is present in all high performers?
Or I should say… “getting good at getting better”
The unique trait of high-performing companies is that they are good at getting better.
Why is that?
Improvement is well known… it’s the scientific method taught in every grammar school.
But is that what we do? NO OF COURSE NOT.
THE SEARCH FOR THE SILVER BULLET… THE MAGIC FIX…. THEY ARE LOOKING AT THEIR ILLUSION OF CONTROL DOCUMENTS AND SAY “I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!”
Everybody is holding on to the big bang transformation dream
So what happens when you apply a big bang transformation project to a complex system where:
The work isn’t visible
People are working out of context
Inertia is pulling your org out of alignment
After enough years of seen the difference between companies who are good at getting better and those who are not… we’ve seen a common set of behaviors. We’ve been working on how to package it so that other companies can learn to work in this way.
Every time felt like the first time
How do you apply these?
Facilitator roles… run ceremony and do analysis/coaching often different roles
