2 years ago at DOES14, I presented “Vision Versus Execution: Implementing Continuous Delivery”. I shared how we achieved a big Continuous Delivery win – increasing software test coverage and delivery velocity and efficiency. Since then, we have been busy scaling DevOps, Continuous Delivery and Lean principles across teams and practices throughout Urban Science. This rollout included both a cultural aspect, as well as an implementation of a centralized, shared, self-service automation solution for our teams – enabling them to “opt-in” to an automated pipeline. In this talk I will present anecdotes and learnings gathered through our experience over the past two years and discuss the challenges and the value of scaling DevOps across the organization.

DOES SFO 2016 - Greg Maxey and Laurent Rochette - DSL at Scale

t last year’s DOES conference, we introduced the new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for Electric Flow and painted a vision for how it could revolutionize application release automation (ARA) for very large enterprise implementations. We are pleased to share with you our experiences and learnings from such a large scale implementation in a financial services company that we’ve been working on this past year. This is a very large implementation—hundreds of ‘platforms’, each containing hundreds of application components each targeting hundreds of ‘device types’, that is, thousands of components distributed across tens of thousands of end points in data centers across the world. Because of regulatory and quality concerns, complex multi-environment stage testing and promotion systems with clear separation of duties must be enforced. While Electric Flow provided the core functionality to achieve these goals, there was a considerable amount of customization required to support legacy applications, tools and processes. All of the custom work done by the Electric Cloud professional services teams was done in DSL, that is, source code first. Customizations are maintained in a source control system and applied to the various staging environments through automated script execution managed by Electric Flow. While the Electric Flow UI was not used to author content, it was used to verify implementation and provide a convenient ways for the client to monitor progress of their application delivery. The result was a highly maintainable and scalable implementation that could be customized and adjusted on a moment’s notice. Indeed, the project has been managed in a lean agile manner with three week sprints.

Embedding a Shift Left Culture in your Enterprise

Gerald Bachlmayr

The Shift Lift scope has broadened during the Age of the Customer. As well as testing it brings other activities forward in the software development lifecycle to enable faster release cycles. For larger enterprises this can be a big cultural challenge. In this talk we will explore the new Shift Left and how you can get business stakeholder buy-in to set up your team for success and gain a huge return on the upfront investment.

The adoption of tools for the provisioning and automatic configuration of "Infrastructure as Code" (eg Terraform, Cloudformation or Ansible) reduces cost, time, errors, violations and risks when provisioning and configuring the necessary infrastructure so that our software can run . However, those who have begun to make intensive use of this technology at the business level agree to identify the emergence of a very critical problem regarding the orchestration and governance needs of supply requests such as security, compliance, scalability, integrity and more. Learn how The Digital.ai DevOps Platform (formerly XebiaLabs DevOps Platform) responds to all these problems and many more, allowing you to continue working with your favorite tools.

The Cloud Journey in an Enterprise - CoDe-Conf - Copenhagen October 11, 2018

Hypermedia-Driven Orchestration in Microservices

The notion of "affordances" has played seminal role in transforming our understanding of usable service design. It is key in hypermedia architectural style and enables us to build resilient systems “at the scale of decades”. With the microservice architectural style, we can build systems that have higher degrees of freedom than those having monolith architectures. In such systems, effective orchestration and choreography are crucial. During this presentation, Irakli Nadareishvili, Director of API Strategy, API Academy, explores hypermedia-enabled approach that leads to loosely-coupled, evolvable service design. Seating is limited and available first come-first served. For more information, please visit http://cainc.to/Nv2VOe

DOES15 - Heather Mickman & Ross Clanton - (Re)building an Engineering Culture...

Heather Mickman, Senior Group Manager, Target Ross Clanton, Director, Target This talk will largely be a reflection on the DevOps journey at Target and the focus on (re)building an engineering culture at Target. In the DevOps community you hear a lot of talk about whether you should drive DevOps in to an organization tops down or bottoms up. Well, we did a hybrid of both. It definitely started at Target as a grass roots movement in a few small teams and started to gain broader grassroots momentum when we kicked off our first internal DevOps Days in February 2014. This enabled us to start engaging a community, finding out who had passion for this across our IT organization, and providing them a forum to connect, share, and learn about DevOps awesomeness. We fostered and grew this community by leveraging social media and guerilla marketing to start driving the conversation across our organization as well as demonstrating the success that teams were having. We then leveraged some of this early energy to engage more leader champions to start building the tops down support for DevOps. Now, having completed four DevOps Days conferences at Target, we will share more details on our approach, results, speakers, and topics. We did much more than just hosting DevOps Days. We tapped in to that growing community to start testing and learning some different approaches and we have lots to share, both in terms of results we’ve achieved and how we’re focusing on changing culture and mindsets. From a technology perspective, we will discuss how we rapidly drove momentum on our automation toolchain across our IT organization. Our vision was to enable and empower all technologists to automate the things that they were accountable for. We pursued this vision in many ways, including Automation hackathons, establishing an embedding/coaching model for our deep SMEs to help teach, open labs, community based support, and even schemed some creative work models that we will share. The end result of these various activities is driving full stack ownership that will ultimately enable the expansion of CI/CD across our Enterprise. This is the overarching theme and next step in our enterprise transformation. It is through this foundation we are building around culture, tooling, collaborative and flexible work models that will enable our acceleration in 2015. Moving forward, we are leveraging these learnings to shift to more of a full-stack product model for our technology delivery and management. We’re also transforming infrastructure from a model based on technology silos to an end to end infrastructure service model focused on enabling business agility. These changes haven’t been easy. In fact, we’ve already had a lot of learnings on our journey. We will share some of those key challenges and lessons learned, specifically on talent, culture, and leadership.

DOES SFO 2016 - Kaimar Karu - ITIL. You keep using that word. I don't think i...

Let’s get this straight. ITIL is not about implementing dozens of processes, or about establishing a CAB to review every change request, or about the never-ending story of creating a CMDB. The ITIL framework has been designed to help IT organizations to move from being a black box technology provider – often viewed as a disposable cost centre – to becoming a service provider, and a true partner for the rest of the business. We know – we own the framework. Unless your customer can achieve their objectives with the technology you run, and can get assistance when needed, no-one cares whether your architecture is built on a monolith, uses microservices, or can brag about being serverless. Agile as a mind-set covers the whole value chain, but common practices are limited to development only. DevOps as a philosophy covers the whole value chain, but common practices are limited to the deployment-focused intersection of development and operations only. Understanding the organisation's strategy, developing the product strategy, and dealing with customer issues are expected to be taken care of by someone else, as if by magic. Because of this, DevOps faces a risk of becoming the largest local optimisation exercise ever undertaken for way too many organisations In tens of thousands of companies around the world, ITIL has helped to develop an organizational capability that has provided them with a competitive advantage. More than three million people have been certified, and ten times as many trained over the years. Yet, we have all heard the horror stories, too. So what is it that separates a successful adoption of ITIL from an unsuccessful attempt at implementing the framework? What are the common problematic practices and anti-patterns we have seen in the wild, and what does the guidance in ITIL really say? How can you move from a broken approach to IT Service Management to one that delivers value. Can you still use ITIL in the DevOps world? Do you even need to? Or, perhaps, the questions is whether DevOps can survive (in the enterprise) without embracing the service mind-set.

DOES16 San Francisco - Damon Edwards - The Talent You Need is Already Inside ...

The Talent You Need is Already Inside Your Company Damon Edwards, Co-Founder, SimplifyOps, Inc “Buy vs Build” is a decision made all throughout an enterprise. We vigorously debate either position when it comes to our technology and tools. But what about our people? Conventional wisdom holds that, if an enterprise seeks a transformation, it must go into “buy” mode and acquire as much talent as possible from the outside. However, in reality this is an expensive strategy with a low success rate. Putting aside the obvious problem of there being a very limited number of “the best” to spread across an entire industry, the “buy” strategy is still largely based on hope. You hope that the new people will bring the right ideas that will automatically spread. You hope that the new people will have experience that can be translated to your business. But, more often than not, the hope of the income new is undermined and overwhelmed by the same systemic issues that caused your current problems. This talk is about a tactical set of actions that leaders can take to find and fix their company’s systemic issues. If you fix the system, you’ll be able to de-risk the new. If you fix the system, you’ll find a truth that just isn’t discussed: the talent you need to succeed is already inside your company. DevOps Enterprise Summit San Francisco 2016

Influencing Higher Education to Create the Future DevOps Workforce Charles Betz, Coordinator, Minnesota State Digital Curricula Initiative "Where will we find the talent?" The feedback loops are slow for higher education, and institutions are only now beginning to respond to the opportunities of DevOps. How can we accelerate this process? This fast-paced talk will cover both macro- and micro-scale efforts. Over the summer, 11 faculty from Minnesota teaching colleges worked with industry thought leaders to draft a report, “Digital Curricula: Toward next-generation IT education.” The report (including a survey on current digital workforce) compiled hundreds of learning objectives from leading digital and DevOps practices, for instructors and commercial trainers around the world to use in course development. This report (free and sponsored by the Advance-IT Center of Excellence in the Minnesota State University System) is being distributed this October to hundreds of computing and IT faculty across the 6th-largest education system in the U.S. and will be presented here for the first time to an industry audience. As a worked example at the course level, the University of St. Thomas offers a survey course on IT delivery, using a “flipped model” with recorded lectures and experiential labs. An open source, 8-node, software-defined virtual cluster based on open technologies is used to illustrate continuous delivery, infrastructure automation, and Agile concepts for the course’s 12 open source lab sessions, as well as collaborative topics such as product management, work management, and operations. Come hear discussion of the motivations, teaching philosophy, technical practices, and results of this pioneering course. DevOps Enterprise Summit San Francisco 2016

DOES16 London - Gareth Rushgrove - Communication Between Tribes: A Story of S...

Communication Between Tribes: A Story of Silos, Devops and Government Gareth Rushgrove, Senior Software Engineer, Puppet; previously UK GDS In any large organisation silos exist, protective of their domain and particular specialism. Devops conversations often turn to how to break down those silos, to encourage multidisciplinary working and move from thinking about the requirements of the IT department or the security group to thinking about the needs of end users. This talk, based on my experience working across the UK Government as an early member of the Government Digital Service, will discuss: How being able to speak the language of a specific discipline, be it information security or service management or software development, is the first step to breaking down barriers The importance of understanding stereotypes (including of yourself) when it comes to communicating across silos The problems caused when policy documentation becomes separated from the owner of that policy The usefulness of software as a shared interface to a shared problem It’s often too easy when talking about silos to believe the answer is for one side to give in, for Devops to succeed that you have to allow the IT group and the software group to fight until only one remains. This talk will hopefully talk about a better way forward. DevOps Enterprise Summit London 2016

Time Theft: How Hidden and Unplanned Work Commit the Perfect Crime Dominica DeGrandis, Director, Training & Coaching, LeanKit Invisible work competes with known work. Invisible work blindsides people, leaving teams unaware of mutually critical information, until it’s too late. Married to this problem, is the question, how does one plan for, or allocate capacity for the invisible? It’s tough to analyze something you can’t see. Incognito work doesn’t show up in metrics. Hidden work stalls and blocks important priorities and masks dependencies. Risk accumulates from work delivered late and started late. The solution is to put conditions in place that allow unplanned work to be seen and measured -- particularly high risk work involving far-reaching decisions. This talk shows you how to do just that.
