(True DevOps is all about) creating better softwareSoftware Guru
“DevOps” has developed a broad definition that’s come to mean “whatever the things are we do that makes IT better.” While it’s annoying to have to spend the first 10 minutes of any conversation calibrating on what “DevOps” means, this points towards a broader need: organizations are desperate to improve how they create, deploy, and manage their custom written software. The goals of DevOps align perfectly with this need, though as organizations who try to “scale” DevOps are finding, DevOps doesn’t solve all of your problems. This talk will cover this framing of DevOps and then walk through several case studies of how (mostly large, but some medium and small) organizations are failing and succeeding at applying DevOps. In doing so, this talk provides advice for high level planning and then daily tactics for not only “doing the DevOps,” but improving the way organizations manage their stable of software.

Vital Trends in Digital Experience and Transformation in 2016 | Dreamforce 20...Dion Hinchcliffe
Here's the deck I presented at the Emerging Tech Trends track at the Hilton Union Square at Dreamforce 2016 last week. Updates on trends from last year and new trends both are included. A thorough list of what your organization should be considering from both a technology standpoint and as a business.
The 2016 State of Cloud IT Report by BetterCloud
The Cloud Changes Everything
Work as we know it is transforming. Today, all businesses are technology enabled, regardless of size, industry, or location. But merely using technology no longer guarantees you remain competitive. As digital natives flood the global workforce, businesses are met with a decision: resist new norms or provide the latest technology to their employees.
We are in the midst of a technological shift not seen since the launch of Microsoft Office and the invention of the Internet. The world of IT is at a tipping point, and at the center are IT professionals experiencing once-in-a-career shifts in their roles and responsibilities. For years, IT has been mischaracterized as solely an internal support team; if something breaks, IT is there with the fix. In 2016, IT professionals are beginning to offload their routine work to cloud software and service providers, giving them more time to focus on strategic work.
The skills required to be a successful IT professional in the modern, cloud-first workplace are far different than they once were. Cloud IT is coming of age, and it’s going to affect every organization and IT professional in the world, much faster than you think.

DevOps - The Future of Application Lifecycle Automation Gunnar Menzel
Development to Operations (DevOps) will have a profound impact on the global IT sector in the near future. Realizing DevOps’ full potential, IT vendors have been agile enough in providing new products and services under the label “DevOps inside”, at an ever- increasing pace. However, with the growth in product choices, conflicting definitions and competing services, customers often encounter confusion, while making complex purchase decisions. They often seem to be unsure about how to deploy DevOps and get the most out of the solution.
While not trying to delve deep into DevOps, the Whitepaper tries to answer the following key questions:
What is DevOps?
What is DevOps trying to achieve?
How will DevOps achieve this?
How best to make use of the new developments?
Its aim is to help the reader:
Understand the DevOps concepts
Understand its current value and restrictions

1 INTRODUCTION
Fast pace of science progress in solid state electronics led to incredible progress of computer devices that on its turn demanded software to control and manage the power of computer calculations and usage.
Software engineering emerged in the beginning of 20th century and by the end of it became separate state of art science, activity and the profession for millions. There are about 18.2 million software developers worldwide, a number that is due to rise to 26.4 million by 2019, a 45% increase, says Evans Data Corp. in its latest Global Developer Population and Demographic Study (P. Thibodeau, 2013). Along with growing number of software developers (software development firms, projects and people involved), increased the need for effective management of software development process. This demanded new approach and methodology from business researchers and managers. In the last several decades there was huge number of research, both in IT field and business management dedicated to this area.
Popularity of agile software development methods started about decade ago and at present these methods are employed by many big, medium size and small companies. Still growing attention to agile methods from software development specialists confirm these methods filled the lack of management techniques for software development that emerged and developed extremely fast along with speedy advancement of hardware in IT area. Great number of research done in areas such as changes in performance of software development using agile methods or scaling agile for large companies and teams. Also one of modern trends is an attempt to apply agile methodology for project management, marketing, sales and other activities. Goal of this article is to explore influence of application agile methods in software development to agility of whole company and business. Presented work based on secondary data taken from a multiple sources, the work performed as an exploratory study and a review of existing research in the area.
2 AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Definition of an adjective agile in English is: able to move quickly and easily or able to think and understand quickly (Oxford Dictionary, 2015). The most often contemporary use presented by the following sentence: Relating to or denoting a method of project management, used especially for software development, that is characterized by the division of tasks into ...

La crise du Covid-19 bouleverse en profondeur la manière dont les développeurs travaillent et nous rappelle l'importance de l'outillage et des méthodologies pour leurs permettre de collaborer à distance.
De ce fait, la connexion entre les équipes business et les équipes techniques devient plus qu'indispensable pour s'aligner sur des objectifs communs permettant de répondre à un rythme business toujours croissant.
Dans cette session, nous vous partagerons les résultats d'une nouvelle étude menée par McKinsey en avril 2020, qui montre la corrélation entre l'agilité des équipes de développement et le rythme de la transformation numérique des entreprises et comment l'innersource peut vous aider à développer l'agilité de vos équipes.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

9. Public Procurement Is Changing “ Government will apply agile methods to ICT procurement and delivery to reduce the risk of project failure. Agile methods allow projects to respond to changing requirements and ensure that the solutions meet business requirements.” Government ICT Strategy The Cabinet Office , 2011 “ The Government ICT Strategy states that 'Where appropriate, Government will procure open source solutions .' To support this, Action 3 of the Strategy says that 'To create a level playing field for the use of innovative ICT solutions, the Government will publish a toolkit for procurers on best practice for evaluating the use of open source solutions.'” The Cabinet Office , 2011
10. Agile @ Salesforce.com “ With revenues of more than $450 million and 2,000 employees in 2006, Salesforce.com had noticed the frequency of its releases had dwindled from four a year to one a year. Customers were getting less and waiting longer to get it; something needed to be done. The company decided to transition to Scrum. During the first year of making the switch , Salesforce.com released 94% more features, delivering 38% more features per developer, and delivered over 500% more value to its customers” Mike Cohn, Succeeding With Agile
11. Open Source @ Yahoo “ One of Yahoo's Hadoop clusters sorted 1 terabyte of data in 209 seconds , which beat the previous record of 297 seconds in the annual general purpose (daytona) terabyte sort benchmark. The sort benchmark, which was created in 1998 by Jim Gray, specifies the input data (10 billion 100 byte records), which must be completely sorted and written to disk. This is the first time that either a Java or an open source program has won. Yahoo is both the largest user of Hadoop with 13,000+ nodes running hundreds of thousands of jobs a month and the largest contributor, although non-Yahoo usage and contributions are increasing rapidly .” Ajay Anand, Yahoo Developer Network
12. Going Lean “Several changes, or cultural shifts , are required to use Scrum. The first is to forget predictive , waterfall thinking . The second is to realize that self-management is a much better practice for productivity and creativity . The third is to understand that cross-functional teams produce more robust products. All of these changes are extremely difficult” Ken Schwaber
13. Going Lean “ The company's failure was the result of thinking that the implications of adopting Scrum would be restricted to only the development organization. The executives who initiated this transition thought that educating and supporting developers would be sufficient . They failed to consider how Scrum would touch the work of salespeople , the marketing group, and even the finance department. Without changes to these areas organisational gravity pulled the company back to where it had started.” Mike Cohn, Succeeding With Agile
14. Going Lean “Even in 2006, IBM had seen enough evidence that agile approaches to development could bear substantial fruit... The trouble was, the take-up rate for additional agile projects within IBM could have been impeded by myriad factors: organizational barriers , comfort with existing established approaches , process inflexibility , and a lack of broad experience with lean and agile methods, to name a few.” Mary and Tom Poppendieck, Leading Lean Software Development
