Why Scrum sucks - and what to do about it
- The document discusses why the Scrum framework for agile product development can be problematic. At the product level, issues include not knowing the final product, delivery timeline, or costs. Organizationally, Scrum is meant to transform organizations, not just deliver products, requiring constant change and skilled, motivated people. This leads to loss of headcount and power within organizations.
- The document proposes using an "Agile Equator" to balance the needs of agile development practices with more traditional waterfall methods through constant information sharing. This helps fulfill requirements on both sides of the "equator".
- In summary, while Scrum aims to be more agile, it can create uncertainty at the product level and require significant

Spiller was concerned that architectural animation was replacing the design process with a focus on creating flashy videos. While animation can help explain designs to clients, Spiller argued it should not drive the design process itself. Some architects feared animation prioritized aesthetics over thoughtful space planning. However, new presentation tools need not harm traditional design if used to complement rather than replace established methods.
The Role of GitOps in IT-Strategy v2 - July 2022 - Schlomo Schapiro
What is the role of GitOps in IT strategy? This talk gives an overview and puts GitOps into the context of current challenges in IT strategy.
Main aspects are continuous delivery, policy as code, automated governance, compliant-by-default work environments, acceptable means of compliance and a comprehensive automation of all development and operations related processes with the goal of true hands-off operations.
The result places GitOps as a major building block of any modern IT strategy. GitOps helps building essential key IT capabilities. It creates the motivation to truly “fix the basics” via sustainable solutions to enable creating higher level automation solutions. With GitOps engineers can focus much more on business value and spend less effort on boring IT topics.
The GitOps Journey - Schlomo Schapiro - Berlin DevOps Meetup 2021-11
I will show why GitOps is a major waypoint in the journey from old-style Dev vs. Ops data center operations towards a truly automated hands-off operations future. GitOps is the technological core required for compliance automation, large-scale operations, and lowering the cost of compliance & governance as well as lowering the cost of internal tooling.
GitOps will give us a future, where we all take a step back, watch the bots do the admin job, and where we Dev, Ops, everybody work on improving the bots and invent new automation solutions.
Schlomo Schapiro is an Agile IT and Open Source enthusiast dedicated to advancing an agile mindset and a DevOps-orientated culture in IT. He works as Principal Engineer at Forto in Berlin, is author of several Open Source projects, conference speaker and regularly publishes blog and magazine articles.

The Role of GitOps in IT-Strategy - November 2021 - Schlomo Schapiro - Contin...
GitOps is an approach to infrastructure automation that uses Git as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure definitions and configurations, and uses continuous integration and delivery tools to ensure that running systems match what is defined in Git. Adopting GitOps practices can help address many IT strategy requirements by driving greater automation of IT processes. This includes enabling hands-off operations where there are no manual changes to production environments and compliance and governance are automated. GitOps provides an ideal interface for compliance automation through a centralized place where all changes are passed in a machine-readable format.
Schlomo Schapiro - Why I like to use the proprietary Cloud services without f...
The document discusses why the author prefers to use proprietary cloud services without additional abstractions. It notes that cloud services provide fully managed infrastructure including server hardware, storage, networking, operating systems, and more. This allows the author to focus on developing applications quickly without having to manage complex infrastructure themselves. The author believes additional abstractions are not needed and adds unnecessary complexity when the cloud services already provide native APIs and tools to control the infrastructure and deploy applications.

Automated Governance - Continous Lifecycle 2019 - Schlomo Schapiro
Video: https://youtu.be/U4cHbXYy1FQ
How to combine traditional IT governance with continuous delivery? Not At All!
A highly automated continuous deployment environment creates a whole new world of challenges for companies to meet their compliance and governance requirements. Traditional - manual - processes don’t manage to keep up with quick and frequent releases.
The solution to this conflict of interests is the automation of all compliance checks and the automated certification of every software delivery into production. Sounds obvious and simple, but it is difficult to implement.
The talk shows how we tackle this topic at DB Systel and how we create solutions for automated compliance certification.

Compliant by Default - Digitaler Wandel - 14.08.2019 - Schlomo Schapiro
Wie passt klassische IT Governance zu Continuous Delivery? Gar nicht!
Eine hochgradig automatisierte Continuous Deployment Welt stellt die Firma vor ganz neue Herausforderungen im Bereich Compliance und Governance. Klassische - manuelle - Prozesse kommen den schnellen und häufigen Releases gar nicht mehr hinterher. Die Lösung ist die Automation aller Governance prüfungen und die automatisierte Zertifizierung jeder Softwarelieferung. Das klingt banal und einfach, ist im Detail jedoch nicht einfach umzusetzen.
Der Vortrag zeigt am konkreten Beispiel der DB Systel, wie wir das Thema angehen und Lösungen für die automatisierte Zertifizierung geschaffen haben.
DevOps ist normal - DevOps Essentials 2019 - Schlomo Schapiro
Video: https://vimeo.com/348556177
DevOps ist normal – oder etwa doch nicht? Wer kann das schon für seine Firma guten Gewissens sagen?
Während sich die übliche DevOps-Diskussion um das Wie dreht, adressiert Schlomo die Frage, wann DevOps normal geworden ist und was dafür passieren muss, damit alle dieser Meinung sind.
Von einer neuen DevOps-Definition ausgehend stellt der Vortrag eine einfache Argumentationskette für DevOps vor, in der die DevOps-Transformation mit Fahren lernen verglichen wird. So wie es heutzutage normal ist, dass die meisten Erwachsenen einen Führerschein haben, so normal sollte DevOps in jeder IT sein. Diese Analogie lässt sich auch in einem Aufzugsgespräch verwenden, um das Management von der Normalität des DevOps-Ansatzes zu überzeugen.
Mit der DevOps-Definition gelingt es den Teilnehmern, jede DevOps-Diskussion zu gewinnen und damit DevOps zur neuen Normalität zu machen. Am konkreten Beispiel der DB Systel zeigt der Vortrag, wie mit dem Thema DevOps-Teams konstruktiv umgegangen werden kann.

The Devops Driving School - DevOps Gathering 2019 - Schlomo Schapiro
How to convince your company that DevOps is a transitional mode of operations and the means to a goal instead of goal in itself. What comes after DevOps is “done”?
DevOps is like learning to drive and a “DevOps Team” is like a motor cycle driving school. You learn in theory and practice to survive amongst “live traffic”, where other road participants are not very considerate. You have to comply with a lot of regulations. From early on you drive your motor cycle alone and the driving instructor follows you in his car keeping a safe distance. He talks with you via radio and tells you where to pay attention and how to drive. But you drive all alone and by yourself - amongst live traffic. If you hit a tree and die, it is your own fault. If you cause a crash, it is your own fault. Same about learning DevOps. You are responsible for your product in production with “live traffic” and real customers. If you crash your server, it your own fault. If your code quality causes harm to the company, it is your own fault. Your DevOps Coach sits next to you and talks to you while you type away at your screen, like a driving instructor. In the end you prove your driving skills, get your license and ride happily singing full speed into the sunset. Same about DevOps, after a training period you work alone. You build it - you run it. You go full speed ahead and deliver value over value. Who has a bumper sticker claiming “I have a driving license”? That’s why “DevOps Team” is a passing thing and once you qualify you are just an Engineering Team who are fully responsible for their product end to end. No need to put a claim to what is normal, because DevOps is normal.

Open Source Contribution Policy at DB Systel - Schlomo Schapiro - AK Open Sou...
DB Systel established an open source contribution policy to formalize how employees can contribute to open source projects. The policy was designed to balance open source participation with legal and compliance requirements. It establishes an Open Source Steward to govern the contribution process and requires line manager and product owner approval for contributions, with an additional approval for large contributions. The policy aims to standardize the contribution workflow, track contributions centrally, and allow for early and frequent releases through a public review process. Next steps include defining small contributions that don't require review, whitelisting approved projects, and adapting the policy based on experience.
Compliant by Default - Continuous Delivery at DB Systel - 16.10.2018 - Schlom...
This document discusses continuous delivery at DB Systel. It argues that continuous delivery improves company efficiency and ability to deliver customer value. Continuous delivery requires a customer obsession, devops approach, use of cloud platforms, and treating all roles like developers as "customers" by providing tools that are quick, simple, tested, secure and compliant. The result is improved productivity for all teams and a focus on continuous delivery through automation. It recommends starting with goals and identifying impediments to replace with automation, while ensuring company concerns around security and compliance are addressed.

This session presents current developments and projects at DB Systel, the IT company of Deutsche Bahn.
Kubernetes - Shifting the mindset from servers to containers - microxchg 201...
Kubernetes: Shifting the mindset from servers to containers
With Kubernetes pods and containers several fundamental assumptions of server operations don't apply any more. Some Linux services like SSH even disappear and are provided by Kubernetes instead.
This talk explores the mindset shift that developers and admins of Linux servers have to do in order to fully take advantage of the power of a Kubernetes cluster:
* Servers turn into pods
* Linux application services turn into containers
* Standard services like cron and SSH disappear completely
* How to separate between initialization, run and maintenance phases
* Building pods with multiple containers that work together
Following practical examples from real migration projects participants gain a new understanding of the role of services, init scripts, cron jobs and other standard Linux components. Key takeaways are a better understanding of how to model a complex system on top of Kubernetes and practical tips for migrating servers into Kubernetes containers.
Successfully adopting Kubernetes requires a big change in how developers and admins think about servers - bigger than any change before. Bigger than the change brought by VMs. This talk shows why it pays to change traditional concepts and to embrace the new world of Linux services modularization that Kubernetes stands for.
See Using Kubernetes with Multiple Containers for Initialization and Maintenance (http://blog.schlomo.schapiro.org/2017/06/using-kubernetes-with-multiple.html) for more information and a demo.
Root for all - measuring DevOps adoption - microxchg 2018 - Schlomo Schapiro
Root for All - Measuring DevOps Adoption
DevOps is about culture and mindset more than about technology - but how do you measure success? How do you know if your company really "does" DevOps?
It turns out that root access to production servers is not only the proverbial holy grail but actually serves as a fact-based measure for the trust and automation levels in an organization.
This talk explores the connection between root access and automation on one hand and DevOps mindsets, cross functional teams and shared responsibility on the other hand. Based on practical experiences, the talk provides concrete suggestions for achieving true DevOps happiness. As a result you will know why in the end there is no harm at all in granting root access to everybody.
Key takeaways are solid arguments that you can use to convince your boss and your peers to take a different approach on root access demonstrating how shared responsibility works for real.
See Root for All - A DevOps Measure? (http://blog.schlomo.schapiro.org/2017/06/root-for-all-devops-measure.html) for more background information.
GUUG FFG 2017 - DevOps for Everybody - A Workplace Strategy for the Digital Age
How should our internal IT look in order to be a driving force for a company’s success in the digital age? This proposal is based on all my learnings from the previous 15 years and especially the Agile and DevOps revolution in IT. It takes the concept of a Product Development Organization to apply everywhere and provides a sure path to increase productivity and improve culture through technology. Transforming Corporate IT into a Workplace product takes internal IT out of the proverbial basement and puts it in the front of the internal value chain. Most of the standard tooling for product development also fits the Workplace product. This proposal is written for a typical company that employs both modern web technologies like G Suite and cloud services as well as traditional technologies like Microsoft Office and data centers.

This document summarizes a presentation on DevOps for Everybody given by Schlomo Schapiro. The presentation discusses how DevOps principles originally developed for IT departments can be applied more broadly in organizations to foster closer collaboration between different teams. It provides examples of how challenges like automation, shared responsibilities, and infrastructure management that teams outside of IT face can be addressed using DevOps solutions. The presentation concludes by offering a vision of how adopting a DevOps mindset can help create a digital workplace strategy and culture of seamless integration across an entire company.
OSDC 2016 - Hybrid Cloud - A Cloud Migration Strategy
Do you use Cloud? Why? What about the 15 year legacy of your data center? How many Enterprise vendors tried to sell you their "Hybrid Cloud" solution? What actually is a Hybrid Cloud?
Cloud computing is not just a new way of running servers or Docker containers. The interesting part of any Cloud offering are managed services that provide solutions to difficult problems. Prime examples are messaging (SNS/SQS), distributed storage (S3), managed databases (RDS) and especially turn-key solutions like managed Hadoop (EMR).
Hybrid Cloud is usually understood as a way to unify or standardize server hosting across private data centers and Public Cloud vendors. Some Hybrid Cloud solutions even go as far as providing a unified API that abstracts away all the differences between different platforms. Unfortunately that approach focuses on the lowest common denominator and effectively prevents using the advanced services that each Cloud vendor also offers. However, these services are the true value of Public Cloud vendors.
Another approach to integrating Public Cloud and private data centers is using services from both worlds depending on the problems to solve. Don't hide the cloud technologies but make it simple to use them - both from within the data center and the cloud instances. Create a bridge between the old world of the data center and the new world of the Public Cloud. A good bridge will motivate your developers to move the company to the cloud.
Based upon recent developments at ImmobilienScout24, this talk tries to suggest a sustainable Cloud migration strategy from private data centers through a Hybrid Cloud into the AWS Cloud.
Bridging the security model of the data center with the security model of AWS.
Integrating the AWS identity management (IAM) with the existing servers in the data center.
Secure communication between services running in the data center and in AWS.
Deploying data center servers and Cloud resources together.
Service discovery for services running both in the data center and AWS.
Most of the tools used are Open Source and this talk will show how they come together to support this strategy:
AWS credential provider for employees and data center servers: http://immobilienscout24.github.io/afp/
Cloud Formation automation: https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/cfn-sphere
Compliancy with European privacy laws: https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/aws-monocyte
WARNING is a waste of my time
How many log levels do you know? How many log levels are actually useful? What is the practical difference between WARNING and NOTICE?
I believe that in a world of automation, I need only two log levels:
ERROR and everthing else.
ERROR means that I as a human should take action. Everything else is irrelevant for me. All the other log levels are IMHO a remnant of the past from the last century. This ignite talk looks at the WARNING problem from both a Dev and an Ops perspective in order to find a useful definition for the age of automation.
See http://blog.schlomo.schapiro.org/2015/04/warning-is-waste-of-my-time.html for blog article with more info.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
