Structuring the right team for DevOps without Re-Organization. I presented this at DevOps Fusion 2015. Tips include rapid feedback loop, value stream analysis, etc.
At AWS re:Invent, we have launched support for blue/green deployments for services hosted using AWS Fargate and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). Blue/green deployments help you minimize downtime during application updates. They allow you to launch a new version of your application alongside the old version and test the new version before you reroute traffic to it. You can also monitor the deployment process and, if there is an issue, quickly roll back.
In this workshop, you will create a new service in AWS Fargate that uses AWS CodeDeploy to manage the deployments, testing, and traffic cutover for you.
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration
Your Journey to Cloud-Native Begins with DevOps, Microservices, and ContainersAtlassian
Everyone is excited about cloud-native applications. And for good reason! They're scalable, resilient, portable across cloud environments, and make it easier to incorporate customer feedback quickly. But there's a catch: cloud-native applications fundamentally change the way you provision, deploy, and manage your infrastructure.
That's where DevOps, microservices, and containers come in. This session will show you how to combine them to create a highly-automated continuous delivery platform. By streamlining the process to resemble factory assembly lines, you can adapt quickly to market changes and keep your customers happy – without burning your team out.

Jira & Ansible: Streamlining Jira Server Administration for the EnterpriseAtlassian
In 2017, Yelp had over 40 Jira administrators. Their environment had hundreds of orphaned workflows, screens, and schemes with very little oversight into who was doing what with their Jira Server instance.
Their team turned to Ansible to empower Yelp's engineers to create and archive projects, update categories, project leads, keys, and archive projects without having access to administrative rights and sensitive functions. Learn how they secured and simplified their environment, reduced turnaround time for Jira requests, and made their lives as admins much easier (and how you can, too!)
In 2009 Patrick Dubois coined the term "DevOps" when he organised the first "DevOpsDays" In Ghent, Belgium. Since then the term has become a term to explain the collaboration between all organisational stakeholders in IT projects (developers, operations, QA, marketing, security, legal, …) to deliver high quality, reliable solutions where issues are tackled early on in the value stream.
But reality shows that many businesses that implement "DevOps" are actually talking about a collaboration between development, QA and operations (DQO). Solutions are being provided but lack the security and/or legal regulations causing hard-to-fix problems in production environments.
In this talk I will explain how the original idea of Patrick to include all stakeholders got reduced to development, QA and operations and why it's so difficult to apply security or compliance improvements in this model. I will also talk about ways to make the DQO model welcoming for security experts and legal teams and why "DevSecOps" is now the term to be used to ensure security is no longer omitted from the value process.
Finally we'll have a vote if we keep the term "DevOps" as an all-inclusive representation for all stakeholders or if we need to start using "DevSecOps" to ensure the business understands can no longer ignore the importance of security.

DOES15 - Sherry Chang - Intel’s Journey to Large Scale DevOps Transformation Gene Kim
Sherry Chang, Enterprise Architect, Intel
Is it possible to transform large enterprises with 100’s of in-flight projects across myriad technology stacks and entrenched processes, requiring massive workforce re-skilling? In this session, I’ll share approaches we employed to increase the likelihood of success through DevOps adoption by:
-Offering of a common Continuous Delivery Service, similar to industry offerings from Codeship.io, CloudBees, and others
-Establishing a Maturity Model to help teams incrementally adopt DevOps practices
-Coaching teams through Kaizen sessions to eliminate bottlenecks and waste in their value stream
Developing and delivering applications in a repeatable way, with the expected quality is a great challenge these days. In order to maximize business value at-the-speed-of-business, initiatives are being driven both by the development or delivery teams and by operations. They each have their own focus and specifics, but in essence they are both centered around: Collaboration and integration, automation, standardization and governance.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
