DevOps 101
A 40 minute introduction to DevOps for the Wellington DevOps Meetup, March 2021.
Rob forgot to talk about DevSecOps, which was a fundamental topic, and the general concept of "Shift left". Only so much you can fit in an hour, but they are good topics to research further.
Rob also mentioned some books
IT Revolution DevOps Forum is the best sources of free ebooks about Devops. It costs you an email signup, but it is worth it.
Team of Teams, Stanley McChrystal - good for business agility.
(See also Brave New Work, by Aaron Dignan, as Rob's favourite primer on new ways of working)
The Phoenix Project, by Gene Kim et al. - KoolAid intro to Devops, convinces most people.
Devops Handbook, gene Kim at al - good general refence
Continuous Delivery, Humble and Farley - still the definitive textbook
The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande - in praise of checklists

The 12 Agile Principles
The 12 Agile Principles document outlines 12 foundational principles derived from the Agile Manifesto's 4 basic statements. The principles emphasize delivering value to customers through working software, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery in short iterations, collaboration between business and development teams, self-organizing motivated teams, face-to-face communication, measuring progress through working software, sustainable development pace, technical excellence, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement. The document provides explanations and examples for each principle.
Shifting to a DevOps Mindset
DevOps is popping up in tech circles all over the place. Do you know what it is? How to take advantage of it's benefits? Or where to start. In just a few minutes you can kick-start your shift to a DevOps mindset.
Pourquoi l'agile c'est absurde
The document discusses why agile is absurd. It first defines what is meant by "absurd" and then presents the agile manifesto which values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. It then lists the 12 principles behind the agile manifesto which focus on satisfying customers, embracing changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and developers, self-organizing teams, face-to-face communication, and continuously improving effectiveness.
Accelerate using DevOps and CI/CD.
This document summarizes key points from the book Accelerate about achieving high performance through DevOps practices. It discusses that high performing teams deploy code more frequently with shorter lead times and change fail rates. They use trunk-based development and loosely coupled architectures. Implementing continuous delivery, monitoring, and a lean approach improves software delivery, quality, and reduces burnout. Culture capabilities like learning and collaboration also impact performance. Overall, DevOps practices can double organizational metrics like profitability and productivity. The document advocates transforming through understanding these practices.

The Talent You Need is Already Inside Your Company
Damon Edwards, Co-Founder, SimplifyOps, Inc
“Buy vs Build” is a decision made all throughout an enterprise. We vigorously debate either position when it comes to our technology and tools. But what about our people? Conventional wisdom holds that, if an enterprise seeks a transformation, it must go into “buy” mode and acquire as much talent as possible from the outside. However, in reality this is an expensive strategy with a low success rate. Putting aside the obvious problem of there being a very limited number of “the best” to spread across an entire industry, the “buy” strategy is still largely based on hope. You hope that the new people will bring the right ideas that will automatically spread. You hope that the new people will have experience that can be translated to your business. But, more often than not, the hope of the income new is undermined and overwhelmed by the same systemic issues that caused your current problems. This talk is about a tactical set of actions that leaders can take to find and fix their company’s systemic issues. If you fix the system, you’ll be able to de-risk the new. If you fix the system, you’ll find a truth that just isn’t discussed: the talent you need to succeed is already inside your company.

DevOps Enterprise Summit San Francisco 2016
Taking DevOps to the Org Chart
In order to realize the full potential of DevOps, it is insufficient to only aim for better engineering techniques and greater automation, hard as that may be in itself. One of the implications of DevOps is a merger of development and corresponding operations teams into several build-it-and-run-it teams. This calls for a re-org at the typical tech organization that supports an old-guard business. The re-org is a challenge for large tech organizations that are often split down the middle in the form of a change organization and a run organization.
This talk (at DevOpsDays Singapore 2017) explores the challenge and describes how it being addressed at some companies.
Integrating agiledevsixsigmabp mandcm-presented
This document discusses integrating agile software development with six sigma, business process management, and configuration management. It provides an agenda that will define these enterprise disciplines, discuss how practitioners of each discipline can interact with agile development, and provide exercises to think about how to integrate the disciplines. The presentation is given by Jason Tice, Vice President of Asynchrony, and provides background on large-scale agile transformations at the enterprise level.
Implementing Agile In Distributed Teams
Sreekanth Tadipatri's presentation at Agile Goa 2007 conference. http://agileindia.org/agilegoa07/index
Heart of agile by Pierre Hervouet
The document discusses the principles of Agile methodology. It begins by describing the Agile Manifesto and its values of prioritizing working software over documentation and customer collaboration over contract negotiation. It then outlines 12 principles of Agile, including early and continuous delivery of valuable software to satisfy customers, welcoming changing requirements, and self-organizing teams. Finally, it notes some potential downsides or "dark sides" to Agile practices, such as an overemphasis on speed over quality or lack of planning.
Empathy from Agility
A big part of the Agile manifesto and history of it coming together has to do with the need and desire to respond to change, adaptability being achieved by replacing project phases with short iterations, a strong quality foundation enabling teams to change direction and adjust to customer feedback.
We've come a long way and now realise that making software softer isn't enough, software development is complex and systemic. This talk is a reflection on the frontiers of agility, at its outer bounds. It's about further softening the edges and improving the effectiveness of software by truly empathising with those whose lives it touches.
DevOps, Agile methods and Continuous Improvement in the Software development ...
This document discusses DevOps, Agile methods, and continuous improvement in the software development lifecycle. It covers these topics at a superficial level. Agile and DevOps can mean different things to different people, involving a set of values, principles, methods, practices, and tools. The Agile Manifesto prioritizes individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Agile principles include satisfying customers through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, measuring progress through working software, collaboration between business and developers, and continuously improving effectiveness. DevOps similarly values early delivery and working software, and treats infrastructure as code.
A Practical Approach to Agile Adoption - Case Studies from Egypt by Amr Noama...
Agile Adoption is a big organization transition project. A big bang approach to Agile Adoption involves real risks and may lead to failure. Instead, small, continuous, and valuable improvements are more viable for most organizations. In this interactive session, we will start with an overview of the Agile mindset, values and principles, and will highlight the major differences between Agile and traditional approaches to managing software projects. Then, we will explain our approach for adopting agile which is incremental and iterative in nature. Finally, we will present some case studies and will share some interesting observations and conclusions collected through working with more than 40 companies during the last 6 years.
Scrum – widely known and misunderstood phenomena
Scrum – widely known and misunderstood phenomenaSathyanarayana. SPC4 ICC-ACP PSM, CSM, Enterprise Agile Coach
This document discusses common misunderstandings around Scrum practices. It provides an overview of the author's experience and certifications in agile coaching. It then lists common misconceptions such as claims that Scrum doesn't work or is only about meetings. The document cautions that 7 people does not make a Scrum team and outlines factors like cross-functionality that define an effective team. It also notes realities of Scrum implementation like changing requirements and priorities during a sprint.Agile evolution lifecycle - From implementing Agile to being Agile
This document outlines an agile evolution lifecycle consisting of adoption, adjustment, and advancement. It discusses scaling challenges with initial agile adoption within teams and a lack of visibility outside teams. The adjustment phase emphasizes focusing on small, well-defined user stories and taking responsibility for deliveries. Advancement challenges working agile in organizations needing roadmaps for customers and discusses prioritizing features by business value and cost to fit within scope. The final culture stage involves organizational unity across functions, adapting approaches, and focusing on short cycles of gradual value to keep customers happy.
Agile Development Models
The document discusses agile development models as an alternative to traditional waterfall models. It describes how agile models use iterative development with short cycles to facilitate adapting quickly to changing requirements. Several specific agile methods are listed such as Scrum, Extreme Programming, and Lean Development. The key principles of agile development are close customer collaboration, preference for working software over documentation, frequent delivery of software increments, and ability to accommodate changing requirements.
The biggest DevOps problems you didn't know you had and what to do about them
Slide deck from www.ReleaseIQ.io webinar on August 25, 2021. Learn about the biggest problems DevOps teams face. You might be surprised what keeps DevOps teams stuck in mid-evolution.
Crafting digital experiences with agile and design by James Hayes
The predominant mindset around complex problem solving is decomposition; we inevitably jump to ways of ‘chunking up’ a solution. At Aginic, our experience of delivering hundreds of engaging data experiences is that this often misses a step that is crucial to creating compelling digital experiences: experimentation. In this talk we’ll describe how we have baked in experimentation to our ability to explore and navigate complex problem spaces and how this has helped deliver engaging outcomes for our customers.
This talk is a must for anyone tackling complex projects, particularly involving data.
The complexity in the simplicity of Agile? by Arie van Bennekum
Looking at Agile, it is so simple. In fact Agile is just structured common sense. Still so many people struggle to get their success in Agile. What is going on? The point is Agile, with all its simplicity, is based on different paradigms and the old paradigms hinder. The question is, can you identify thew old paradigms and furthermore, how do you change them. Arie van Bennekum will take you in his talk on his 22 years Agile journey and share his experience, successes, his delta’s and IATM, the Integrated Agile Transformation Model he developed for Agile transformations. IATM is a successful Agile change process to (the next level of) Agile he and his teams use doing international Agile transformations.
Agile 101 Agile Essentials In The Scrum Framework
The document provides an overview of agile principles and the Scrum framework. It discusses the values of agile like prioritizing customer satisfaction, responding to change, and valuing individuals. The principles behind agile like welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, and self-organizing teams are also outlined. Finally, it briefly introduces Scrum roles, ceremonies, and artifacts.
Agile Software development
This document discusses Agile software development and how it differs from the traditional Waterfall model. Some key points covered include the Agile manifesto which values individuals, working software, customer collaboration and responding to change over processes, documentation and plans. It notes that Agile and Waterfall differ in terms of iteration length and the amount of design done before coding begins. Agile focuses on gathering feedback through techniques like test-driven development rather than thinking harder upfront. Financial aspects are also compared, with Agile aimed at early value and cashflow while Waterfall focuses on return on investment.

In our session we will explore the nine principles and share practical examples of how service leaders can leverage them to change behaviors and drive results.
Pair programming pair testing working together with the developers by Simon ...
In my scrum team, as a tester, I'm responsible for the test work to be done. Most of that test work is done manually. We need to automate those test cases. But, when? And how?
The developers and and the tester can do a lot together. Some times we test together. Some times we program together. Some times I'm on my own, testing or creating/writing automation scripts.
In my talk I will share my experiences what I'm doing with my developer colleagues. From the moment we start development on the feature (Epic or user story) up until we ship it.
We explore, build and test the feature. Based on that we create scripts for automation on various levels. From unit test level up until end to end testing.
Take aways from this session are:
- How to work together with your developer(s)
- Motivate your stakeholders to work this way
- Give tester a way to participate in coding and learn from the experience
- Provide Agile coaches a way how to set up automation in a scrum team
Ensuring Cloud Native Success: The Greenfield Journey
Speaker: Coté, Director, Technical Marketing, Pivotal
Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.
Join us for the first installment of this 3 part webinar session: The Greenfield Journey https://pivotal.io/platform/webinar/ensuring-cloud-native-success-the-greenfield-journey
Scaling Scrum to Large Distributed Teams and Its Challenges
The document discusses scaling scrum to large distributed teams and the challenges involved. It notes that while scrum was designed for small co-located teams, many enterprises are now adopting agile at large scales across multiple locations. Scaling scrum introduces challenges related to roles, events, artifacts, team structure, communication, knowledge reuse, and infrastructure. The document proposes various approaches to adapt the scrum framework, roles, and events when scaling to multiple scrum teams and provides examples of restructuring teams and consolidating communication channels. It emphasizes starting with a small approach rather than big bang, allowing teams to improve processes, and investing in automation and infrastructure.
DevOps a pratical approach
In this talk I present you what DevOps is, what DevOps is for, and how to apply DevOps in your company.
DevOps Culture transformation in Modern Software Delivery
DevOps culture aims to shorten development cycles and enable continuous delivery of software through practices that combine software development and IT operations.

PMI Thailand: DevOps / Roles of Project Manager (20-May-2020)
DevOps seems to be the latest ‘buzzword’ and trend in the IT industry. This is driven by business needs for ever-faster deployment of new functionality and frustrations with the time and effort it takes to get new systems into operations. It is no longer a question of ‘should we adopt DevOps’, but ‘when and how’?
DevOps represents a significant cultural and behavioral change and many organizations fail to address this in their adoption. Gartner defines DevOps as a change in IT culture, focusing on rapid IT service delivery through the adoption of agile, lean practices in the context of a system-oriented approach. These culture changes include organization changes, impacting structure, roles and responsibilities.
What and where is the role of the project manager in organizations that have transitioned towards adopting DevOPs? Join us and let’s discuss DevOps and answer your questions followed by an informative discussion.
DevOps Transformation - Another View
DevOps is a practice that promotes collaboration between development and operations teams. It aims to allow for faster delivery of features and fixes through closer collaboration and automation of processes. Benefits of DevOps include faster time to market, increased availability, higher deploy rates, and better collaboration among teams. Traditionally, development and operations teams worked in silos with handoffs of work and a lack of communication, which led to delays and issues. DevOps aims to break down these silos through practices like automation, continuous integration and deployment, and shared goals.

AWS re:Invent 2016: Lift and Evolve – Saving Money in the Cloud is Easy, Maki...
Every enterprise knows by now that it can save money by simply lifting and shifting workloads to the cloud, but many are missing the larger opportunity to also make money by moving. While quick costs savings are good for the bottom line, they do little to move the top line numbers. To achieve both savings and earnings, corporate thinking about technologies must change in order to enable faster processes leveraged enterprise-wide. In this session we will explore multiple customer success stories where the customers have evolved from leveraging basic compute and storage products (EC2 and S3) to integrating new services into operations by leveraging Lambda, DynamoDB, CodeDeploy, etc. Once this is achieved, enterprises are enabled to manage and deploy code rapidly in a programmatic and elastic secure network, ensuring governance and security standards across the globe. We will look at the migration process trusted by hundreds of clients as well as how to cope with the process and people components that are so important to enable agility, while focusing heavily on the technology. The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and 2nd Watch story will dive deep into the technology that allows TCCC to manage hundreds of AWS Accounts, hundreds of workloads, thousands of instances, and hundreds of business partners around the globe. TCCC’s Configuration Management System has Puppet at the core and relies on over a dozen core and emerging AWS products across accounts, availability zones and regions. This complex and globally-available system ensures all of TCCC’s workloads in AWS meet corporate policies but also allows for rapid scale of both consumer and enterprise workloads. Session sponsored by 2nd Watch.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
