DevOps is Not Going to Work…Unless! How The Phoenix Project Simulation Can Help
Jan Schilt, Founder, GamingWorks
This presentation will explore how the business simulation game “The Phoenix Project” based on the book of the same name can greatly improve the success of your DevOps investment. As case studies reveal there are enormous benefits to be realized by adopting DevOps, however industry trends reveal that many will fail as a result of ‘Cultural and behavioral’ issues and failing to adequately address organizational change. We have seen with ITIL how many organizations failed to gain the promised benefits because they could not translate the theory into practice and the belief that a tool would solve all their issues. Let us not make the same mistakes with DevOps. In this presentation we will show you how a business simulation can increase the velocity of your adoption, create buy-in, improve communication and collaboration skills between Dev and Ops, and capture concrete, shared, improvement actions aimed at creating success.

Working for a company as old as Morse Code that is trying to make a wholesale pivot to digital education services in a market ripe for disruption from new entrants is a recipe for an exciting challenge. In this talk we discuss Pearson's approach to managing this shift in focus and how we have taken the start-up mentality to heart building a new team with a new approach to challenge and drive change from within. We will touch on how we see our emerging DevOps capabilities scaling in a global company of over 40,000 people and what a seismic shift in technology does to the varied silos of a large distributed enterprise. We will share what has worked for us to create an opportunity to drive change and where we see our next challenges as we launch our first production services.

DOES15 - Heather Mickman & Ross Clanton - (Re)building an Engineering Culture...Gene Kim
Heather Mickman, Senior Group Manager, Target
Ross Clanton, Director, Target
This talk will largely be a reflection on the DevOps journey at Target and the focus on (re)building an engineering culture at Target. In the DevOps community you hear a lot of talk about whether you should drive DevOps in to an organization tops down or bottoms up. Well, we did a hybrid of both. It definitely started at Target as a grass roots movement in a few small teams and started to gain broader grassroots momentum when we kicked off our first internal DevOps Days in February 2014. This enabled us to start engaging a community, finding out who had passion for this across our IT organization, and providing them a forum to connect, share, and learn about DevOps awesomeness. We fostered and grew this community by leveraging social media and guerilla marketing to start driving the conversation across our organization as well as demonstrating the success that teams were having. We then leveraged some of this early energy to engage more leader champions to start building the tops down support for DevOps. Now, having completed four DevOps Days conferences at Target, we will share more details on our approach, results, speakers, and topics.
We did much more than just hosting DevOps Days. We tapped in to that growing community to start testing and learning some different approaches and we have lots to share, both in terms of results we’ve achieved and how we’re focusing on changing culture and mindsets. From a technology perspective, we will discuss how we rapidly drove momentum on our automation toolchain across our IT organization. Our vision was to enable and empower all technologists to automate the things that they were accountable for. We pursued this vision in many ways, including Automation hackathons, establishing an embedding/coaching model for our deep SMEs to help teach, open labs, community based support, and even schemed some creative work models that we will share.
The end result of these various activities is driving full stack ownership that will ultimately enable the expansion of CI/CD across our Enterprise. This is the overarching theme and next step in our enterprise transformation. It is through this foundation we are building around culture, tooling, collaborative and flexible work models that will enable our acceleration in 2015. Moving forward, we are leveraging these learnings to shift to more of a full-stack product model for our technology delivery and management. We’re also transforming infrastructure from a model based on technology silos to an end to end infrastructure service model focused on enabling business agility.
These changes haven’t been easy. In fact, we’ve already had a lot of learnings on our journey. We will share some of those key challenges and lessons learned, specifically on talent, culture, and leadership.

An End to End Stack for a Container Age - Continuous Delivery London 2016Chris Jackson
With the growing popularity of micro services and containers there are a plethora of stories of success and failure, patterns and anti-patterns. This talk aims to give insight to one such implementation of containerised services at a 170 year-old FTSE100 organisation. We will touch on what it took to get a project like this off the ground, how we made technology choices that aligned to our strategy and what we discovered when working collaboratively with our development community around application readiness.
This represents the story to date of an in-flight engineering project to modernise the digital estate of a global enterprise organisation and how the scale of the operation is leading us to challenge some of the established beliefs around DevOps. Attendees will walk away with some advice on how to start similar initiatives in their organisation, how their technology strategy will impact their own tool/provider choices and what to look out for in the application space that can inhibit or support adoption.

Mr. Benjamin Wootton, Co-Founder, Sendachi
Over the last few years, we have worked on over 50 DevOps transformations, in many instances with large, global, traditional enterprise organisations.
During this time, we have gained hard won experience in how to be successful in modernising organisations to DevOps—changing working practices, re-structuring organisations, and re-platforming legacy technology stacks to benefit from infrastructure as code and other DevOps practices.
In this talk we will talk about our experiences and hard won lessons of how to be successful with a DevOps transformation, with many real world case studies referenced.
DevOps Enterprise Summit London 2016
The idea behind DevOps is to demolish the wall between development and operations, and encourage more collaboration and accountability between both groups so that everyone feels responsible for the code no matter where it is in the software development lifecycle. For better understanding of DevOps, we have answered the 5Ws of DevOps.

Succeeding with DevOps Transformation - Rafal GancarzOpenCredo
Many organisations are interested in adopting DevOps culture and practices but quite often they face some serious challenges after starting a DevOps transformation programme. These problems can be mitigated if organisations are well prepared for what’s likely to happen when their existing processes and culture are being altered during the DevOps transformation effort.
This talk aims to explore the common problem areas that can impact the success of the DevOps transformation, and will provide practical advice for dealing with these based on experiences from our past engagements. It will offer some insight into how organisations can prepare and manage the transformation programme, track and report the progress, and finally, ensure that the desired business outcomes are achieved.

To many people ITIL seems like the antithesis of Agile, with process-heavy, manual checks and approval gates a blocker to rapid delivery. However, at its core ITIL recommends iterative and continual improvement of software services based on the ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ (PDCA) cycle of Deming, an approach also central to DevOps. In this talk we’ll explore how – if implemented appropriately – ITIL and Agile can complement each other for a DevOps approach to iterative evolution of successful software systems.

Starting and Scaling DevOps In the EnterpriseSonatype
Gary Gruver, Gruver Consulting
In my role, I get to meet lots of different companies, and I realized quickly that DevOps means different things to different people. They all want to do “DevOps” because of all the benefits they are hearing about, but they are not sure exactly what DevOps is, where to start, or how to drive improvements over time. They are hearing a lot of different great ideas about DevOps, but they struggle to get every-one to agree on a common definition and what changes they should make. It is like five blind men describing an elephant. In large orga-nizations, this lack of alignment on DevOps improvements impedes progress and leads to a lack of focus.
This session is intended to help structure and align those improvements by providing a framework that large organizations and their executives can use to understand the DevOps principles in the context of their current development processes and to gain alignment across the organization for success-ful implem

Digital Transformation Mindset - More Than Just Technologyconfluent
Many enterprises faced with silo’ed, batch-oriented, legacy systems struggle to compete in this new digital-first world. Adhering to the ‘If it’s not broken don’t fix it’ mentality leaves the door wide open for native digital challengers to grow and succeed. To stay competitive, your organization must respond in real time to every customer experience transaction, sale, and market movement. But how do you get there? First, you must change your mindset.
As streaming platforms become central to data strategies, companies both small and large are re-thinking their enterprise architecture with real-time context at the forefront. Monoliths are evolving into microservices. Datacenters are moving to the cloud. What was once a ‘batch’ mindset is quickly being replaced with stream processing as the demands of the business impose real-time requirements on technology leaders.
Join Argyle, in partnership with Confluent, in our 2018 CIO Virtual Event: The Digital Transformation Mindset – More Than Just Technology. During the webinar we’ll learn how leading companies across industries rely on a streaming platform to make event-driven architectures central to:
• How data strategies and IT initiatives are improving the digital customer experiences
• How executives are reducing risk with real time monitoring and anomaly detection
• Increasing operational agility with microservices and IoT architectures within organizations

Innovation in the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Data WarehouseDataWorks Summit
Big Data adoption is a journey. Depending on the business the process can take weeks, months, or even years. With any transformative technology the challenges have less to do with the technology and more to do with how a company adapts itself to a new way of thinking about data. Building a Center of Excellence is one way for IT to help drive success.
This talk will explore Enterprise Holdings Inc. (which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car) and their experience with Big Data. EHI’s journey started in 2013 with Hadoop as a POC and today are working to create the next generation data warehouse in Microsoft’s Azure cloud utilizing a lambda architecture.
We’ll discuss the Center of Excellence, the roles in the new world, share the things which worked well, and rant about those which didn’t.
No deep Hadoop knowledge is necessary, architect or executive level.

DOES SFO 2016 - Kaimar Karu - ITIL. You keep using that word. I don't think i...Gene Kim
Let’s get this straight. ITIL is not about implementing dozens of processes, or about establishing a CAB to review every change request, or about the never-ending story of creating a CMDB. The ITIL framework has been designed to help IT organizations to move from being a black box technology provider – often viewed as a disposable cost centre – to becoming a service provider, and a true partner for the rest of the business. We know – we own the framework.
Unless your customer can achieve their objectives with the technology you run, and can get assistance when needed, no-one cares whether your architecture is built on a monolith, uses microservices, or can brag about being serverless. Agile as a mind-set covers the whole value chain, but common practices are limited to development only. DevOps as a philosophy covers the whole value chain, but common practices are limited to the deployment-focused intersection of development and operations only. Understanding the organisation's strategy, developing the product strategy, and dealing with customer issues are expected to be taken care of by someone else, as if by magic. Because of this, DevOps faces a risk of becoming the largest local optimisation exercise ever undertaken for way too many organisations
In tens of thousands of companies around the world, ITIL has helped to develop an organizational capability that has provided them with a competitive advantage. More than three million people have been certified, and ten times as many trained over the years. Yet, we have all heard the horror stories, too. So what is it that separates a successful adoption of ITIL from an unsuccessful attempt at implementing the framework? What are the common problematic practices and anti-patterns we have seen in the wild, and what does the guidance in ITIL really say? How can you move from a broken approach to IT Service Management to one that delivers value. Can you still use ITIL in the DevOps world? Do you even need to? Or, perhaps, the questions is whether DevOps can survive (in the enterprise) without embracing the service mind-set.
DOES SFO 2016 - Daniel Perez - Doubling Down on ChatOps in the EnterpriseGene Kim
HPE's Research Development & Engineering team has been on a fast-tracked DevOps journey over the past couple of years.
During our DOES 2014 talk we shared our deployment of ElectricFlow as a highly available and centralized self-service solution that has enabled HPE developers to quickly onboard onto ElectricFlow for build/test/deployment pipelines in a repeatable and cost-effective way.
At DOES 2015 we expanded on our investments into a comprehensive monitoring, self-healing, and accelerated deployment strategy across all of our applications to further bridge our Dev and Ops gap with greater visibility into our environments and to accelerate our time-to-market with repeatable and fully automated deploys.
Join us this year as we continue in this journey with our biggest transformation yet: the proliferation of ChatOps within our organization. We will discuss the decisions that lead us to these investments, the key lessons we have learned, and share our various Hubot integrations and capabilities.
DOES SFO 2016 - Greg Maxey and Laurent Rochette - DSL at ScaleGene Kim
t last year’s DOES conference, we introduced the new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for Electric Flow and painted a vision for how it could revolutionize application release automation (ARA) for very large enterprise implementations.
We are pleased to share with you our experiences and learnings from such a large scale implementation in a financial services company that we’ve been working on this past year. This is a very large implementation—hundreds of ‘platforms’, each containing hundreds of application components each targeting hundreds of ‘device types’, that is, thousands of components distributed across tens of thousands of end points in data centers across the world.
Because of regulatory and quality concerns, complex multi-environment stage testing and promotion systems with clear separation of duties must be enforced. While Electric Flow provided the core functionality to achieve these goals, there was a considerable amount of customization required to support legacy applications, tools and processes. All of the custom work done by the Electric Cloud professional services teams was done in DSL, that is, source code first. Customizations are maintained in a source control system and applied to the various staging environments through automated script execution managed by Electric Flow. While the Electric Flow UI was not used to author content, it was used to verify implementation and provide a convenient ways for the client to monitor progress of their application delivery. The result was a highly maintainable and scalable implementation that could be customized and adjusted on a moment’s notice. Indeed, the project has been managed in a lean agile manner with three week sprints.

DOES SFO 2016 - Greg Padak - Default to OpenGene Kim
Large enterprises have hierarchical organizations to define areas of responsibility and drive better accountability. Those structures often block cross-team interactions and knowledge sharing that slow innovation and agility. We will discuss strategies that use open platforms to drive meaningful development outcomes through collaboration and productivity across the enterprise.
DOES SFO 2016 - Michael Nygard - Tempo, Maneuverability, InitiativeGene Kim
Tempo. Most people are familiar with it in the musical sense. It’s the speed, cadence, rhythm that the music is played. It drives the music forward - and pulls it back. But there’s more to tempo than a musical beat. In war, like in business, tempo - the speed at which you can transition from one task to the next - is a critical component for victory.
No single person nor department owns tempo. Somebody can’t just shout, “I now control the tempo,” and take charge. If you operate at a faster tempo than your cycle time allows, then you’ll get thrashing. The rate of tempo emerges organically as companies move around that action loop of sensing, deciding and acting.
Tempo emerges from the convergence of architecture, infrastructure, organization, and mindset. All these things have to align to achieve tempo. None of them can be changed in isolation.
In this talk, we will look at different models for transforming an organization to high tempo and high performance. We'll see how that can get derailed and what to do about it.
DOES SFO 2016 - Alexa Alley - Value Stream MappingGene Kim
Value Stream Mapping can streamline development processes and workflows. This talk will cover how Hearst has done internal Value Stream Mapping workshops to improve team collaboration and release times.
In this talk, I will discuss Value Stream Mapping and how it has helped transform internal processes for businesses within Hearst to adopt a DevOps culture. I’ll walk through the successes and learning experiences we’ve gained by holding VSM sessions at different businesses, in varying verticals at Hearst. We will review real examples of workflows, release times, benefits to the contributors and business, and how the collaboration has helped teams. While there are great successes, I will also share where we saw room for improvement and how we continually make changes to bring the most value to our teams. The most important value is how these have helped to start building a DevOps mindset in a company of over 25,000 employees.
DOES SFO 2016 - Mark Imbriaco - Lessons From the Bleeding EdgeGene Kim
DevOps news is dominated by discussions about tools, and with good reason. It's not unusual for the amount of infrastructure-related code in a system to approach or even exceed the amount of code dedicated to the actual problem the system is solving, even in small systems. As our systems scale in size and complexity, we invest an ever increasing amount of resources into building solutions to help manage our our complex technical systems. And rightly so.
What's often overlooked, however, is the human component of our systems. All too often our approaches to tools, processes, and systems management attempt to remove humans rather than empower them.
I'll make the case that humans are not a source of entropy to be safeguarded against in our systems, but rather a fundamental source of resilience and even efficiency. We'll discuss ways that we can use this point of view to our advantage when constructing our systems to move faster without sacrificing safety. We'll look at things like tools and our interactions with them, team collaboration, and even organizational structure and policies.
We've had plenty of talks about building for web scale, cloud scale, and even planetary scale. Let's spend some time talking about designing for human scale.
DOES SFO 2016 - Topo Pal - DevOps at Capital OneGene Kim

DOES SFO 2016 - Cornelia Davis - DevOps: Who Does What?Gene Kim
Within the IT organizational structures that have dominated the last several decades roles and responsibilities are fairly standardized. But with the dramatic changes that DevOps practices and supporting toolsets bring, many are left feeling a bit off balance - it’s no longer clear who is responsible for even things as “straight-forward” as development or operations.
In this talk I will take traditional roles that are distributed across fairly standard IT structures and sort them into a new organizational context. What is the role of the Enterprise Architect? Who does capacity planning and how? How can change management step out of the way all while still satisfying the requirements of safe deployments? How do agile teams interface with personnel responsible for maintaining legacy systems? I’ll leave the audience with a blueprint for a new organizational structure.
DOES SFO 2016 - Avan Mathur - Planning for Huge ScaleGene Kim
Installing one CI server or configuring a deployment pipeline for a specific application might be easy enough. However, as enterprises look to scale their DevOps adoption and optimize their software delivery practices across the organization (to support additional teams, product lines, application releases, processes and infrastructure) -- software delivery pipeline(s) need to scale to support enterprise workloads.
For some enterprises, this means having a pipeline that can withstand the velocity and throughput of thousands of product releases, supporting tens of thousands of developers and distributed teams, hundreds of thousands of infrastructure nodes, multitudes of inter-dependent application components, or millions of builds and test-cases.
This scale poses unique challenges and implications for your pipeline design. This talk covers best practices for analyzing and (re)designing your software delivery pipeline – regardless of your chosen tool-set or technologies. Obtain tips and tools for ensuring your pipelines and DevOps infrastructure have the right architecture and feature-set to support your software production as it scales, while also ensuring manageability, governance, security, and compliance.
Learn best practices for how to:
1) Plan for scale: how to project for the types of performance indicators/vectors you’d need to scale across.
2) How to design of your pipeline and supporting infrastructure and operations (such as data retention, artifact retrieval, monitoring, etc.).
3) Design your pipeline workflows and processes to allow reusability and standardization across the organization, while also enabling flexibility to support the needs of specific teams/apps.
4) Design your pipeline in a way that enables fast rollout- easy onboarding thousands of applications, across hundreds of teams
5) Incorporate security access controls, approval gates and compliance checks as part of your pipeline and have them standard across all releases
6) Ensure your architecture support HA, DR and business continuity.
As organizations invest in DevOps to release more frequently, there’s a need to treat the database tier as an integral part of your automated delivery pipeline – to build, test and deploy database changes just like any other part of your application.
However, databases (particularly RDBMS) are different from source code, and pose unique challenges to Continuous Delivery - especially in the context of deployments. Often, code changes require updating or migrating the database before the application can be deployed. A deployment method that works for installing a small database or a green-field application may not be suitable for industrial-scale databases. Updating the database can be more demanding than updating the app layer: database changes are more difficult to test, and rollbacks are harder. Furthermore, for organizations who strive to minimize service interruption to end users, database updates with no-downtime are a laborious operation.
Your DB stores the most mission-critical and sensitive data of your organization (transaction data, business data, user information, etc.). As you update your database, you’d want to ensure data integrity, ACID, data retention, and have a solid rollback strategy - in case things go wrong …
This talk covers strategies for database deployments and rollbacks:
• What are some patterns and best practices for reliably deploying databases as part of your CD pipeline?
• How do you safely rollback database code?
• How do you ensure data integrity?
• What are some best practices for handling advanced scenarios and backend processes, such as scheduled tasks, ETL routines, replication architecture, linked databases across distributed infrastructure, and more.
• How to handle legacy database, alongside more modern data management solutions?
DOES SFO 2016 - Marc Priolo - Are we there yet? Gene Kim
2 years ago at DOES14, I presented “Vision Versus Execution: Implementing Continuous Delivery”. I shared how we achieved a big Continuous Delivery win – increasing software test coverage and delivery velocity and efficiency.
Since then, we have been busy scaling DevOps, Continuous Delivery and Lean principles across teams and practices throughout Urban Science. This rollout included both a cultural aspect, as well as an implementation of a centralized, shared, self-service automation solution for our teams – enabling them to “opt-in” to an automated pipeline.
In this talk I will present anecdotes and learnings gathered through our experience over the past two years and discuss the challenges and the value of scaling DevOps across the organization.

Aimee Bechtle of Capital One’s Card Technology Advanced Engineering team will share how they have utilized Distributed Dojos to transform to a workforce skilled in DevOpsSec, public cloud and automation. Their Distributed Dojo strategy was formed when they needed to quickly and efficiently meet the challenges of a large cloud migration but were limited by local resources. Reaching out to a prominent retail chain they learned how draw from their engineering talent to form short-term, highly focused delivery teams. These teams now work cohesively across multiple locations to solve the challenges introduced when migrating such a large-scale, complex infrastructure to the cloud. They will explain how within weeks several Dojo teams were formed and releasing automation that not only supported Card Technology’s DevOpsSec and cloud mission, but provided associates with new skills that could be proliferated throughout the company.

After an initial DevOps transformation as a company, we had to grapple with how to scale and grow the talent and workforce to build a NextGen DevOps-minded company of 18,000+ people. We have built a number of programs to expand awareness, encourage growth mindsets, and drive workforce development. We will share the different ways we are working to "Build Brilliant Teams" to drive our DevOps transformations.
DOES SFO 2016 - Kevina Finn-Braun & J. Paul Reed - Beyond the Retrospective: ...Gene Kim
At DOES15, we presented the work we'd done at Salesforce to take their SRE teams to the "blameless cloud." We worked with various roles in the SRE teams so they could start asking the right questions about failure, and through the postmortem and retrospective process, begin to make lasting changes in _how_ Salesforce worked with and remediated identified failures.
But DevOps espouses less siloed thinking and more shared responsibilities, so we found postmortems within the SRE organization weren't enough. As Salesforce was moving toward a model of "service ownership," teams along
the entire software delivery value stream needed to start to understand their roadblocks to remediation and what aspects of the complex system they worked in were impeding their ability to "own their service."
We'll discuss the second phase of our work in helping these operations _and product_ teams gain a deeper understanding of service ownership, and why
just "DevOps'ing it up" wasn't quite enough on its own to help. plus we'll introduce an expanded model from last year's talk that incorporates human factors and complexity theory. These additions helped prime the teams to more effectively grapple with the challenges facing them on the road to true service ownership.

An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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!

HPE IT’s DevOps journey
Unicorns
•Pockets of awesome
Ashish: Isn't that cool? This is the future we have been dreaming of as kids.
That future is here. IOT, Composable infrastructure, Big Data, Machine Learning: all of this is now coming together so that humanity can collaborate better than ever before.
Rafael: we were competing based on capital, now we are competing with companies which did not exist 2 years ago. This has ripple effects on how we innovate and how we deliver value.
Olivier: key figures on what HPE IT is
1400 apps supported by IT, 2500 in total to run HP
900 IT projects active in 2015
7k Dev + Ops
Rafael: We started our DevOps journey
Rafael:
Let’s look at two of our apps. You know, we are well in our Journey. We started to do DevOps in an organized manner across HPE IT late 2014. We have a number of assets which are adopting the DevOps model, accept the end to end ownership, and we have more knocking at the door every day, which is awesome.
In our progress report, there are 2 assets that we will highlight:
MyComp mobile:
The most used mobile app by our 10,000 HP sales people. They see where they are with objectives and their compensations. Any improvement here, helps sales, and thus revenues
HPE Support Platform 2.0:
HP’s new generation support platform where machines, equipment's, support specialists, IT directors, are all meshed into a gigantic social network. We serve 18,000 customers with this platform. Improvement here drives customer satisfaction up. And that’s what we are about
Olivier:
As we started our DevOps transformation, we needed to agree on a common understanding.
We are going to highlight 3.
1. Common language - Manifesto
2. Transparency (thru) ChatOps – nothing is hidden inside the silos
3. Common Objective
Ashish:
Collaboration is easier said than done. At the end of the day, we are all part of an organization….
We often hear: “DevOps is a re-org”. Although in spirit we agree, in practice, for an enterprise of our size, this is not very practical. Or not in one go.
Our organization was, and still is, a classical silo organization.
Our organization was, and still is, a classical silo organization.
Ashish: transparency
Bot capabilities / ecosystem interactions
Magic of ChatOps – not just transparency – now, you are interacting with the ecosystem
Example – Monitoring…
3. Fun aspect
Our organization was, and still is, a classical silo organization.
Olivier:
At HPE, we do not have conversations about tools anymore, we have conversations about pipelines.
Basically looking at the tool landscape from an holistic, end-to-end perspective.
We are also very much convinced that one size does not fit all. Given the breadth of our portfolio, we basically need to have custom pipelines for each asset.
How do we do that?
Concept of CD pipeline: move good changes as quickly and as automatically as possible and reject bad changes as quickly and as automatically as possible.
As we have freedom regarding the pipeline, we also have several (couple of ) “anchor points”, which are non-negotiable, such as:
Source code management platform
Change record service
Coding the process in the CD pipeline…
Flexible CD pipeline – we don’t define every tool/aspect of pipeline (not perceptive). Some aspects non-negotiable. Standardize some, example: – source code management. (see notes above).
The 1st anchor point is Source Code Management.
It’s an anchor point because we want all of the code of HPE to be shared – when applicable – across our employees. It’s a social coding model.
Very critical as everything is progressively threated as code: the application, the configuration, the data model, the infrastructure.
It is also a corner stone in integrating pieces of our pipeline.
Characteristics:
- one change = one deploy – at least in test
-light weight peer reviews
- ChatOps integration
Change service records:
When we entered the DevOps kickoff meeting, we had a pretty intense process which we call the “RfC” process. Changes where being submitted, and approved. But they were reviewed & approved for the wrong reasons. For template conformance: an entry in this particular field, and that “UAT oK” checkbox checked.
So, after working with the Change management team, we came up with a way to codify and automate, on top of our CD pipeline, the change management process.
- Much closer to the System of Records
- Fully traceable
And because the feedback loop is extremely important, teams have been big on telemetry. At HP we have many enterprise monitoring solutions. For myComp, the one that is used the most is AppPulse mobile, which shows lots of useful data.
What screens users navigate to
What OS version do perform or which one do we have to dig deeper and chase performance issues
Best of all, we have integrated this as a FunDex score, which is a composite metric of UI performance, stability and resource consumption like battery and cellular data
All this data is in the hand of the integrated DevOps teams, not only the Operations team anymore. And this drive the right behaviors for the DevOps teams. Everybody fights to influence the FunDex score!
Rafael:
IT leadership is accustomed to imposing standards and control. DevOps requires flexibility to innovate, so leaders must strike that balance.
Keep developers “in the channel” but allow some experimentation at the edges
Rafael:
We talked a lot about technology. But the biggest enabler for us has been people. You’ve seen that with our ChatOps environment.
The other dimension is trust. And verification.
Empower teams:
- With empowerment comes pains – not only benefits
Team composition, DevOps guru, set new boundaries, …
Anchor points (Minimum Viable Process)
Change Record service
Others: security scan, …
Trust has been a foundation, and a real departure from our previous IT culture. But we found that trust has been the one element that is making a world of difference.
