DevOps seeks to tear down barriers between development and operations that lead to slower change and worse quality. Implementing a DevOps Team that adds yet another silo to an organization can be counterproductive. Rebranding infrastructure or operations teams as "DevOps" doesn't help, either. However, scaling DevOps benefits from a dedicated team. This session looks to answer key questions when building a team to enable DevOps transformations. What are common DevOps team structures? Are there existing groups that can lead the transformation? Who should I include on the team? What should its charter be?
This deck is from a session delivered at IBM Interconnect 2015.
Al Wagner from IBM presents how to avoid deployment failures, reviewing such topics as: Deployment models like canary, blue/green and rolling that can help prevent major production outages; How to pinpoint deployment failures in your process and correct them; Pulling together a basic failure response plan; and How you can roll forward while improving your deployment process.

Citrix Troubleshooting 101: How to Resolve and Prevent Business-Impacting Cit...eG Innovations
One of the most challenging tasks for a Citrix administrator is when a user calls in complaining of a Citrix problem: logon is slow, session is getting disconnected, application launch is slow, session itself is slow, etc. So, how does a Citrix admin go about solving these issues? A Citrix infrastructure has many tiers and dependencies. Where do you start looking, what do you analyze, and how do you triage?
Watch this webinar by George Spiers, Citrix CTP and EUC Architect, who shares his real-world experience to help you learn the art of Citrix troubleshooting. You will find out how to:
• Methodically go about finding the scope, magnitude of impact, and source of the problem
• Troubleshoot common Citrix problems like slow logons, slow app/desktop launch, disconnecting sessions, frozen sessions, etc.
• Investigate issues in the supporting infrastructure (network, AD, virtualization, etc.)
• Optimize the Citrix environment for maximum performance
At the end, we discuss how automated monitoring can help accelerate performance troubleshooting.

VDI Performance Assurance With Monitoring and TestingeG Innovations
Virtual desktop and VDI initiatives promise a variety of benefits - but the underlying IT architecture adds complexity and risk. Virtual desktop users expect application delivery to be as fast and reliable as their physical desktop experience. A single failure in the service infrastructure can bring virtual desktop performance to a crawl, and significantly impact user productivity and business processes.
Both performance monitoring and performance testing tools address this challenge by helping to create, deliver and maintain the best possible performance for virtual desktop users. However, the approach of the two solutions differ. Where load testing helps to predict and prevent infrastructure performance using simulated user behavior, performance monitoring helps to prevent and, when needed, solve performance problems by diagnosing the behavior of real users and the underlying VDI infrastructure in production environments. A combined approach of using both types of toolsets is the best model for optimal performance assurance.
Join our live webinar with performance management experts Srinivas Ramanathan (CEO, eG Innovations) and Jeroen van de Kamp (CTO, Login VSI) and find out:
- Why performance management of virtual desktop infrastructures is key
- How performance testing and monitoring solutions compare
- How performance monitoring tools complement performance testing tools
- How to combine monitoring and testing for perfect performance assurance
- A real world example of how to leverage best of breed solutions for total performance assurance

Your Applications Are Distributed, How About Your Network Analysis Solution?Savvius, Inc
Watch the full OnDemand Webcast: http://bit.ly/wcappdistributed
Corporate computing has crossed the threshold to highly distributed, and it doesn’t matter if your corporation has 50 or 50,000 employees. The reasons are many, including cloud usage, SAAS subscriptions, or just highly distributed enterprise networks and users. Have your network analysis capabilities evolved with your corporate computing infrastructure?
Traditional network analysis and troubleshooting solutions were centralized, and back when all corporate computing assets were located in and routed through a central data center this approach worked well. But with more and more applications migrating from your data center to remote locations (cloud or otherwise), your ability to monitor, analyze and troubleshoot mission critical application performance is compromised by a centralized network analysis approach. It’s imperative that you also distribute your network analysis capabilities. More than that, you need to evolve from a "point and shoot" network troubleshooting approach to a distributed, 24x7 network monitoring approach. Distributing your network analysis capabilities and monitoring 24x7 allows you to respond to network issues before they become full blown problems and to analyze and troubleshoot issues proactively vs. reactively. Join us to examine the technologies and approaches to best deal with today’s highly distributed network applications.
In this webcast, we will cover:
Current trends in enterprise application distribution
Key performance indicators when monitoring overall application performance
Network analysis architectures for today’s distributed application environment
Benefits of employing distributed, 24x7 solutions for application and network performance monitoring
What you will learn:
How to effectively use network analysis solutions for application performance monitoring
How to deploy network analysis solutions to ensure adequate coverage of your network
Why "point and shoot" network troubleshooting approaches are no longer enough
Webinar: Enterprise Trends for Database-as-a-ServiceMongoDB
Two complementary trends are particularly strong in enterprise IT today: MongoDB itself, and the movement of infrastructure, platform, and software to as-a-service models. Being designed from the start to work in cloud deployments, MongoDB is a natural fit.
Learn how your enterprise can create its own MongoDB service offering, combining the advantages of MongoDB and cloud for agile, nearly-instantaneous deployments. Ease your operations workload by centralizing your points for enforcement, standardize best policies, and enable elastic scalability.
We will provide you with an enterprise planning outline which incorporates needs and value for stakeholders across operations, development, and business. We will cover accounting, chargeback integration, and quantification of benefits to the enterprise (such as standardizing best practices, creating elastic architecture, and reducing database maintenance costs).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!

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.

4. Mobile is growing fast
• There were more smartphones and tablets sold in 2011
than desktop PCs, laptops and netbooks combined.
• 20% of web traffic in the US comes from smartphones
and tablets
4 JDS
5. Smartphone Sales by Operating System
• Android is the
dominant mobile
phone operating
system
• BUT!!
– The most popular
handset is iPhone
(especially in .au)
– Google Play has
less than ¼ of the
revenue of Apple’s
App Store
– iPad has more market share than all Android tablets combined
– App sales are negligible for other stores (Nokia Ovi Store,
Blackberry App World, Windows Phone Marketplace)
5 JDS
6. Mobile in the Enterprise
• Growth of “bring your own device”
(BYOD) for internal apps – mostly
web apps and email
• Devices for field service/delivery workers
(probably not running iOS or Android)
• Mobile versions of public-facing websites
(http://m.yoursite.com.au)
• Mobile App projects
– Free apps to reach more customers. E.g. banking app, supermarket app
(not monetised through app sales)
– Projects initiated by the Business, instead of the IT department
– Very small budgets, almost always outsourced (to small, agile companies)
– Less maturity than typical Enterprise projects (minimal non-functional
requirements, security testing, performance testing)
• Large IT projects sometimes have a small mobile component
6 JDS
7. Mobile performance is important
• Bounce-rates increase dramatically as response times
increase
• 1 star reviews in App Store “this app sucks”
7 JDS
8. Factors in Mobile Performance
• Mobile device • Network • Data Centre
– Varying hardware ‒ The “last mile” ‒ Load
‒ The Internet balancers, se
– Mobile app code rvers

10. Apps behaving badly
• Bandwidth hog
– “Your app gave me a huge phone bill!”
• Storage hog
– “Your app is using up all my storage!”
• Drains battery
– Location-based apps, data use patterns
(polling keeps activating the transmitter)
• Leaks memory
• Doesn’t handle network connectivity
problems gracefully
• Slow startup or unresponsive user interface
10 JDS
11. Be careful with WebView
• Tempting shortcuts:
– Write parts of your app in JS + HTML, and display in a
WebView, instead of using native code.
– HTML5 vs Cross-platform vs Native
– Make sure you pick the technology with
the right trade-offs for your application
• Mobile WebKit has a 300ms delay on
firing click events after a tap.
– Work-arounds exist, but impose trade-offs
• Cross-platform mobile development frameworks
(PhoneGap, Trigger.io, Appcelerator, etc.)
– Can be hard to make non-native apps feel “snappy”
– Overhead imposed by JavaScript to Native bridge
11 JDS
12. Profiling tools for developers
• DDMS (Android) or Instruments (iOS)
– View memory usage and allocation (find leaks), threads, process
resource usage, slow methods, network usage, radio state (test
outage conditions).
• JavaScript
– Profile it on a desktop
browser (FireBug for
Chrome/Firefox, Web
Inspector for Safari)
– Use JSLint to ensure
strict code
“correctness”
12 JDS
13. Case Study: SnappyCam+
• Takes lots of photos very fast
(great for action sequences)
• Camera performance was the
central feature of the app
• Bottleneck: JPEG compression
– Existing compression libraries were too
slow
– Researched academic papers on JPEG
compression algorithms
– Implemented compression algorithm
highly-optimised for CPU architecture
– Hand-crafted assembly code for the
ARM NEON SIMD co-processor

15. Sloooow network
• Mobile data speeds are
highly variable and can
be very slow (like a
modem)
• Websites have become
bloated with the
widespread adoption of
broadband Internet
• You can’t improve the
network, but you can
optimise your mobile
app/website for slow
networks
15 JDS
16. Shunra NetworkCatcher Express Mobile
• Free iPhone/Android app to check network performance
from your current location.
• Benefits:
– Measure real-world
mobile network
conditions
(bandwidth,
latency, packet
loss)
– Generates an NTX
file to use with
Shunra
PerformanceSuite
or Shunra vCat
16 JDS
17. WAN Emulation
• Most testing done while connected to
– Your office Wi-Fi
– Fast, metropolitan 3G internet
• Use a WAN emulator to measure response times under
different network conditions
17 JDS
18. Optimising for slow networks
• Minimise data transfer
– Create a mobile version of your website, and serve images scaled for
small mobile screens
– Use the HTML5 Application Cache or local storage
• Minimise “chattiness”.
– Multiple sequential requests multiply
the effect of network latency.
• Pre-fetch data to make it seem fast
• Use YSlow! for your mobile website
– Ensure content is cachable (correct
headers, etc.)
– Make files smaller (compress with Gzip,
minify JS/CSS files)
– Minimise HTTP requests
– Be aware of slow, third-party sites (e.g. ad networks, analytics)
18 JDS
19. Case Study: Smart Electricity Meters
• DPI mandated that all manually read electricity meters
be replaced with smart meters by the end of 2013.
• All meters must report usage (in 30 minute intervals) to
AEMO by 6am the following day.
• Problems at one electricity distributor:
– WiMAX (4G) teething problems
• Patchy data coverage. Meters not
“phoning home” reliably
• Unresponsive meters (requiring site visits)
– “Thundering herds”. Trying to avoid all the
meters sending their data at the same time
• Limited bandwidth on base station
• Servers cannot handle 700,000 concurrent connections

21. Performance Testing 101
• Define Workload Model
– Identify key business processes
– Define Peak Hour transaction volumes for each business process
– Define number of concurrent users, network properties
• Organise Production-like test environment (with monitoring)
• Develop Scripts
– Note: scripts send same traffic as device, so no phones are needed to
run the load test. But response times will not include client-side time.
– Record business processes
• Execute tests
– Peak load, Stress/Break, Soak
– Failover, interface outages, etc.
• Tune, Test, Tune, Test, etc.
– Problems due to code, capacity,
or configuration

22. Difficulties recording mobile apps
• Record device or simulator/emulator on office network
• Probably can’t install recording agent on mobile device
• Most apps are just making web service calls
Application Type Recording Method
Mobile website • Record from desktop PC with standard
browser. Use a User Agent Switcher add-on.
Mobile app (HTTP) • Use a recording proxy
Mobile app (HTTPS) • Security features prevent use of a recording
proxy (i.e MITM attack). Some workarounds.
• Use packet capture, decode with SSL cert.
Mobile app (WebSockets • Beware! Poor tool support.
or other new protocols) • Be careful with new technologies
• Scoping question: what protocols does the
app use?
22 JDS
23. Example: Recording a mobile app (using
HTTPS) with LoadRunner
1. Server-side packet capture while performing business
process (e.g. using WireShark)
2. Export private certificate (from test environment)
3. New script > Mobile Application - HTTP/HTML
– Recording type: Analyze traffic
4. Select PCAP file,
set up filters, import
certificate
5. Generate script
6. Add transaction names,
correlate values, etc.
23 JDS
24. WAN Emulation under load
• Users on slow network connections have different load
characteristics on front-end servers
– Hold sockets open longer
– Cause more active TCP sessions on load balancer (licensing
limits, memory limits for session table)
– Cause more open connections to web servers (thread/process
limits, O/S TCP limits, requests queue waiting for a connection)
• During load testing
– Emulate network conditions for each virtual user individually
(bandwidth is not shared by virtual users)
– Emulate worst-case to find connection limits on servers
