Presentaion done at Devops Day Bologna 2018. We talk about DevOps as Dev + Ops, and the evolution of this movement, mainly on the ops point of view. We’ll arrive to today new paradigm “NoOps”, to try to answer a question: “Is this the end of the operations team ?”

Idi2018 - Serverless does not mean Opsless
- 1. Serverless does not mean Opsless THE DEVOPS EVOLUTION Riccardo Capecchi & Piermarco Zerbini
- 2. DevOps Movement Evolution Today we talk about DevOps as Dev + Ops, and the evolution of this movement, mainly on the ops point of view. We’ll arrive to today new paradigm “NoOps”, to try to answer a question: “Is this the end of the operations team ?”
- 3. Disclaimer We’ll show some of the tools, best practice and procedures we have used, or heard of, in these years.

- 6. DEV vs OPS
- 7. DEV VS OPS - The “Dev” Guy
- 8. DEV VS OPS - The “Ops” Guy
- 9. Developers life From requirements to business ● Gather requirements from non technical people ● time to market ○ the delivery day is always... “yesterday”
- 10. Developers life Software delivery ● IT department is a services’ provider ● The latest version of code and libraries are required ○ system packages are “too old” ● Manual tests ● SCM as “backup server” ● Restricted access ○ “I can’t do it by myself and you should do it for me”
- 11. Sysadmin life: IT Infrastructure Datacenter management ● Hardware setup ● Networks ● Bare metal and hypervisors ● Hands on partition tables and lvm ● Storage Server ● Backup/Disaster Recovery ● Law Compliance
- 12. Sysadmin life: IT Infrastructure Datacenter management :) ● Inventory management ● Capacity management ● Costs ● Asset Management ● IPAM ● Credentials?
- 13. Sysadmin life: Operations Operations :) ● Bash ● cssh/parallel ssh ● network utilities ● Versioning configurations ○ cp apache.conf apache.conf_date ○ rsync data between environments ● Direct access to all servers and devices ○ cssh/parallel ssh ○ rdesktop ○ serial port ● Repetitive activities ● Sarcasm
- 14. Sysadmin life: do you remember ? Operations - Deploy the code ● Tarball ● SCP/SFTP ● Backup ● Cross the fingers ● Deploy
- 15. Sysadmin life: do you remember ? Operations - Deploy the code.. or not? You don’t have to deploy if you are developing like a PRO...duction :)
- 16. Sysadmin life: do you remember ? Operations - To Analyze the logs ● all files only in local disks ○ disk is full ● raw logs, human parser ● compliant with laws? ● accessible only by sysadmins ● grep is the more advanced tool ● Metrics ? Which metrics ?
- 17. Sysadmin life: do you remember ? Operations - To Analyze Alerts ● Mail from: ○ Monitoring server ○ Crontab ○ Applications ○ Your boss ● Static thresholds ● Remember to put checks in downtime before starting the maintenance ● Any reactions to alerts? ● Pager by night
- 18. Sysadmin life: do you remember? Operations - Day by Day
- 20. DevOps Devops is ● Culture ● Lean ● Automation ● Measurement ● Sharing Devops is not ● Tools ● A job position ● A new team ● A new name for an old team
- 21. DevOps Devops best practices ● Automate everything ○ IAC ○ Config mgmt ○ Pipelines ○ Git ● Working together ○ sharing knowledge ○ sharing responsibilities ○ sharing code ○ talking ○ Operations
- 22. Cloud and Sysadmin Evolution The Cloud It could really change the work of a sysadmin: ● Cloud provider configuration ○ Security ○ IaC ● Capacity and Costing Review ● To avoid vendor lock-in ? All the “not cool” stuff are still present: ● Alert ● Backup ● Logging
- 23. Welcome to a serverless world
- 24. Serverless Bare Metal Deploy in days Lives far too long Virtualization Deploy in hours Lives for years Docker Deploy in seconds Lives for days Serverless Deploy Instantly Lives for seconds
- 25. From monolith to Functions Are you really “serverless ready”? ● sessions ● costs ● performances
- 26. Serverless means NoOps ? “NoOps (no operations) is the concept that an IT environment can become so automated and abstracted from the underlying infrastructure that there is no need for a dedicated team to manage software in-house.” http://searchcloudapplications.techtarget.com/definition/noops
- 27. Is DevOps useful in a serverless world?
- 28. Basic Serverless Service A simple serverless architecture ● Api gateway: Provides an HTTP/S API endpoint that is fully configurable. ● Lambda : Run whatever logic is needed to answer the request. ● You can choose your data tier on aws with RDS, or Dynamo
- 29. Serveless without DevOps approach NO-OPS is great ● Developers will only focus on code development ● The cloud provider will take care of all the operations
- 30. Serveless without DevOps approach NO-OPS is great… BUT... ● Someone has to ensure that issues are not introduced when the configurations are changed. ● Someone needs to set all cloud provider configurations. ● Someone should handle the alerts ● Someone should manually deploy the code ● Who is that guy?
- 31. Is DevOps useful in a serverless world?
- 32. DevOps is useful - Real world Service The real world In the real world you’ll probably have one or more functions, but you’ll have also to rely on other cloud services, database and external services.
- 33. DevOps is useful - to handle the code Complexity As Twin Tech Innovations pointed out: “For each non-trivial route (piece of functionality) added to a software system, the number of lines of configuration code needed to maintain the project grows at a steep linear rate when using a serverless architecture.”
- 34. DevOps is useful - to handle the code Serverless coding = more lines of code.
- 35. DevOps is useful - to handle the code Serveless + DevOps: ● to automate packaging ● to write your code dependencies ● to automate your deployment procedures
- 36. Serverless for Sysadmin Serverless can also be a new tool for sysadmins, instead of use the old way (Virtual Machine with cron) we can use functions to: ● Dynamically manage our Auto Scaling Group ● Dynamically manage our Security Group ● Improve checks
- 37. Serverless for Sysadmin - an example An example of a FaaS useful for an “ops” team is the project auto-spotting When installed and enabled on an existing on-demand AutoScaling group, AutoSpotting clones one of your on-demand instances from the group with a spot instance that is cheaper, at least as large (automatically considering memory, CPU cores and disk volumes) and configured identically to it. Once the new spot instance is ready, it is attached to the group and an on-demand instance is detached and terminated to keep the group at constant capacity.
- 38. Serverless for Sysadmin - an example It continuously applies this process across all enabled groups from all regions gradually replacing your on-demand instances with much cheaper spot instances. For your peace of mind, you can also configure it to keep running a configurable number of on-demand instances given as percentage or absolute number.
- 39. Conclusions ● DevOps is part of the company culture: it’s made by people of different teams working together and, of course, with the agreement of the managers. So it doesn’t matter if you choose serverless or another technology. ● The DevOps best practices are useful to improve the value of your code and the time-to-market ● The DevOps approach will help you to integrate your serverless environment with legacy or external services ● The DevOps approach will provide to you a better no-ops
