As companies grow they can - paradoxically - become slower. This session talk about about how Amazon addressed this by moving to a microservices architecture and a DevOps culture more than 10 years ago. Learn how AWS managed services and serverless architectures can help you maintain team focus and speed of innovation.

5. The software delivery model has drastically changed

6. DevOps: Culture + Practices + Tools

7. back to 2001, the amazon.com website
was an architectural monolith.

• Single-purpose

• Highly decoupled
• “Microservices”

10. • Two-pizza teams
• Autonomy
• Full ownership
• Full accountability
• Aligned incentives

14. • Self-service
• Technology-agnostic
• Encourage best practices
• Single-purpose services

15. • Deployment service
• No downtime deployments
• Health tracking
• Versioned artifacts and
rollbacks

16. In 2009, we ran a study to find
out where inefficiencies might still
exist

18. Pipelines
• Continuous delivery
• Automated release

• Faster and more reliable

• >90% of teams

25. How can others do this? And what is DevOps
anyway?

26. First, we need to understand a little bit
about software release processes

27. • Integration
tests
• Load testing
• UI tests
• Penetration
testing
Release processes
Source Build Test Production
• Check in
source code
• Peer review
• Compile code
• Unit tests
• Style checkers
• Code metrics
• Bake images
• Deployment
to production
environments

28. Release processes levels
Source Build Test Production
Continuous integration
Continuous delivery
Continuous deployment

29. AWS CodeDeploy
• Easy and reliable deployments
• Scale with ease
• Deploy to any server
Test
CodeDeployv1, v2, v3
Production
Dev
application
revisions
deployment groups

30. AWS CodePipeline
• Connect to best-of-breed tools
• Accelerate your release process
• Consistently verify each release
Build
1) Build
2) Unit test
1) Deploy
2) UI test
Source Beta Production
1) Deploy
2) Perf test
Gamma
1) Deploy canary
2) Deploy region 1
3) Deploy region 2
1) Pull

31. AWS CodeCommit
• Use standard Git tools
• Scalability, availability, and durability of Amazon S3
• Encryption at rest with customer-specific keys
git pull/push CodeCommit
Git objects in
Amazon S3
Git index in
Amazon
DynamoDB
Encryption key
in AWS KMS
SSH or HTTPS

32. What is DevOps?
DevOps = efficiencies that speed up this lifecycle
developers customers
releasetestbuild
plan monitor
delivery pipeline
feedback loop
Software development lifecycle

33. Listen to your customers

34. Security AND speed?
Infrastructure is code
• Code can be tested before
every release
• Blueprints can be shared
and enforced
• No manual changes in
production

35. Automate EVERYTHING

36. Infrastructure-as-code workflow
code
version
control
code
review
integrate
“It’s all software”
• Create templates of your infrastructure.
• Version control/replicate/update templates like code.
• Integrates with development, CI/CD, management
tools

37. Don’t reinvent the wheel!

38. Get your disaster recovery & backups
in checks

39. Monitoring &
Logging Continous
Integration/Delivery
With great power, comes some complexities.
Communication &
Collaboration
Microservices &
APIs Management
Infrastructure as
Code
