5 Keys to Building a Successful DevOps Culture featuring Mandi WallsSerena Software
DevOps is not just about tools and processes, it’s about people and their interactions. It requires a cultural shift that impacts every level in the organization and requires everyone to contribute.
Agile Principles are more Software Development focused. There is need for Organizations to look for Software Development Agility nothing but DevOps. In order to achieve Organization operational efficiency the complete Organization needs to be DevOps complaint.
Take away for orgnizations on What is that they need to do?
At present, DevOps has got several buzz words associated with it. Standards in terminology by bringing in concepts such that everybody speaks same language.
Large organizations are increasingly turning to DevOps and Continuous Delivery principles, often with the goal of shipping better software faster. However, they're then faced with important considerations for scaling these processes across teams and in diverse environments while still maintaining the visibility and control necessary for compliance.

Enterprise DevOps in the Age of Docker & MicroservicesXebiaLabs
Tim Buntel & Sunil Mavadia discuss the following in this one-hour webinar:
What containers and microservices mean for existing software delivery processes.
Important considerations for successful adoption of containers and microservice architectures as part of the enterprise release pipeline.
How to ensure that security, compliance and governance standards are maintained when you finally do introduce them.
IT organisations are measured based on how they mitigate risk and ensure changes adhere to compliance policies. High-performing organisations pull Information Security earlier into the development process by automating compliance tests.
Becoming a high-performing, risk averse organisation is about two things:
• How frequently (and automatically & trivially) you can run compliance assessments;
• and once you discover vulnerabilities, how quickly you can then remediate them.

Monitoring Attack Surface to Secure DevOps PipelinesDenim Group
A web application’s attack surface is the combination of URLs it will respond to as well as the inputs to those URLs that can change the behavior of the application. Understanding an application’s attack surface is critical to being able to provide sufficient security test coverage, and by watching an application’s attack surface change over time security and development teams can help target and optimize testing activities. This presentation looks at methods of calculating web application attack surface and tracking the evolution of attack surface over time. In addition, it looks at metrics and thresholds that can be used to craft policies for integrating different testing activities into Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for teams integrating security into their DevOps practices.

Achieving Secure DevOps: Overcoming the Risks of Modern Service DeliveryPerforce
DevOps and Continuous Delivery practices are attracting the attention of many organizations looking to increase the speed of their application delivery, yet doing so the wrong way can risk both quality and security. In this webinar, Forrester analysts Kurt Bittner and Rick Holland will share their insights on how DevOps and Security teams can work better together to meet these challenges, along with best practices for bringing greater security to product development and delivery.
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.
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.
Minimum Viable Architecture -- Good Enough is Good Enough in a StartupRandy Shoup
I have spent the last decade building large-scale systems at eBay and Google -- and talking publicly about it -- and this presentation is about why a startup should completely ignore what I said! In an early-stage startup, it is not only not worth architecting for a future of massive scale; it is actively counterproductive. This presentation from the SF Startup CTO Summit outlines the common architectural evolution of a startup through the search, execution, and scaling phases, and discusses the appropriate technologies and disciplines at each phase. It ends with some real-world examples from eBay, Twitter, and Amazon to illustrate the point.

Integrating SAP into DevOps Pipelines: Why and HowDevOps.com
Teams practicing DevOps don’t usually have to spend much time thinking about applications like SAP, and SAP often remains a DevOps-free zone that is resolutely difficult to change. But SAP systems enable critical operational processes and in an increasingly interconnected technology stack, need to adapt at high speed if a business is going to be truly agile.
DevOps expertise from outside SAP teams is helping to accelerate change in SAP so that digital transformation of products, processes and business models isn’t held back by dependence on slow, unresponsive ‘systems of record’. In this webinar we’ll look at why it’s important to include SAP in cross-application CI/CD pipelines, and how to do so. Join us to learn:
Why DevOps teams should care about SAP
Key SAP differences that DevOps teams need to understand
How to get started with DevOps for SAP and successfully integrate SAP into wider DevOps pipelines

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

AMAZON ELASTICCONTAINERSERVICE
Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, fast, container management service that
makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances.
WhiteHedge Solution
Ø We explored a number of Docker
orchestration tools: Kubernetes, Docker
Swarm and Amazon ECS.
Ø ECS lets you launch and stop container-
enabled applications with simple API calls
Ø Allows you to get the state of your cluster
from a centralized service
Ø Gives you access to many familiar
Amazon EC2 features.
Ø No need to maintain any software to
manage cluster on our side as ECS is a
free service.(If you are using EC2
instances)
Problem
Ø How to orchestrate and autoscale Docker
containers on Amazon EC2?
Challenge
Ø We run application inside docker containers on
EC2.
Ø We automated docker image creation using
Jenkins and scripts.
Ø We automated deployment using Amazon
CodeDeploy.
Ø However autoscaling docker images on EC2 is an
open problem today.
Ø How could we orchestrate and autoscale docker
containers in production?
42. WhiteHedge

APPLICATIONPERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Application Performance Management (APM) is the monitoringand management of performance
and availability of software applications.
WhiteHedge Solution
Ø We setup and configured the monitoring
solution for the client using Datadog
Ø System monitoring and Application
monitoring
Ø We setup automated alerts in the form of
phone calls, emails and chat notifications
Ø Alerts were triggered when the
application went down or was
unresponsive, when the system
parameters looked unhealthy (CPU,
Memory, etc.) or when the application
produced too many errors.
Ø The application health was shown
graphically on the Datadog dashboard
Problem
Ø Getting an insight into how the application
performed was needed to take key business
decisions
Challenge
Ø While the client developed and continuously
deployed the software, there was no feedback
mechanism in place
Ø It was important to know if the application was up
and responding
Ø We had to design a mechanism which would help
in debuggingissues in the system
43. WhiteHedge
DevOps@WhiteHedge.com
APPLICATIONMONITORING
Application monitoring is a process that ensures that a software application processes and
performs in an expected manner and scope.
WhiteHedge Solution
Ø We realized the need to do code
augmentation to gather the HTTP request
processing time metric.
Ø We had to ensure that this code
augmentation does not affect the overall
performance of the system.
Ø We chose to do this using Datadog.
Ø Our application was in NodeJS. We used
module.
Ø The metrics were sent from code using
the node-dogstatsd module to local
Datadog agent using UDP.
Ø Local Datadog agent sent the metrics to
Datadog server using Python.
Ø The Datadog UI and scripts were used to
display the metrics in the desired format
Problem
Ø Our client wanted an insight into how the
application was performing in terms of the time
needed to process an HTTP request.
Challenge
Ø Many monitoring solutions offer out of the box
support to track HTTP response times by sending
dummy HTTP requests to the system.
Ø Our challenge was to come up with stats which
give the response times for each real (production)
request into the system.
44. WhiteHedge
DevOps@WhiteHedge.com
MONITORING USINGZABBIX
Open source and enterprise-level software designed for real-time monitoringof millions of
metrics collected from tens of thousands of servers, virtual machines and network devices.
WhiteHedge Solution
Ø System monitoring plays a great role in
offering clients a complete, robust
solution to their needs.
Ø After research and testing, WhiteHedge
decided to utilize Zabbix as the backbone
of their monitoring services.
Ø Using Zabbix the WhiteHedge team is
able to detect issues quicker and reduce
the response times for failed services and
applications.
Ø Fully customized alerts, specific to each
server/ service monitored have been
implemented by the WhiteHedge team to
maximize uptime for their clients’
environments.
Situation
Ø Our client was looking for an easy-to- set-up
and user-friendly monitoring software,
preferably on Linux platform with back-up
support available 24/7.
Ø And the software still had to have the
capabilities to implement custom checks.
45. WhiteHedge
DevOps@WhiteHedge.com
CLOUDMIGRATION
Moving data, applications or other business elements from on premise to cloud
or from one cloud environment to another.
WhiteHedge Solution
Ø After studying the existing architecture and the business
requirements WhiteHedge proposed a cloud-based
architecture which leverages the Amazon’s Elastic
Compute Cloud (EC2) and other associated services.
Ø WhiteHedge applied Phase Driven Approach to Cloud
Migration
Business Challenge
Ø Physical hardware components rapidly
approaching end of life.
Ø Increasing downtime due to network failure in
data center.
Ø Increasing operational expenses year over
year.
Ø Cloud experts helped our client to migrate to the
AWS cloud without downtime.
Ø WhiteHedge helped our client to keep the cost
structure at low level.
Ø WhiteHedge put focused efforts that resulted in
efficient turnaround with qualitative delivery.
Ø Integration of third party tools such as Puppet to
get work done.
