Mobile to mainframe - The Challenges and Best Practices of Enterprise DevOps IBM UrbanCode Products
Delivering software is complex. Systems being developed are made up of multiple components, which in turn interact with other systems, services, application servers, data sources and invocations of 3rd party systems. In an Enterprise this complexity is further enhanced by the cross-platform nature of the infrastructure typical enterprises have. While the customers may be interacting with Systems of Engagement using Mobile and Web Apps, the core capabilities of the enterprise that the customers access are in Systems of Record that are running on large datacenters and more than likely Mainframe systems. Keeping these complex systems up and running and constantly updated with the latest capabilities is a task that requires constant coordination between the lines of business, various cross-platform development, QA and operations teams.
DevOps addresses these development and deployment challenges. The goal of DevOps is to align Dev and Ops by introducing a set of principles and practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery. Cross-platform enterprise Systems take the need for these practices up a level due to their inherent complexity and distributed nature. Such systems need even more care in applying DevOps principles as there are multiple platforms to be targeted, in a coordinated manner, each with its own requirements, quirks, and nuanced needs. This talk takes a look at the DevOps challenges specific to Cross-platform Enterprise Systems and present Best Practices to address them.

Slides from the Jun 11, 2013 Global WebSphere Community webinar "Deploy. Faster. Automating and Accelerating Application Deployments to IBM WebSphere without Scripting"
Devops - Continuous delivery patterns with serverless stackcksiva09
The key pattern introduced in continuous delivery is the deployment pipeline. This pattern emerged from several projects where teams were struggling with complex, fragile, painful manual processes for preparing testing and production environments and deploying builds to them. Team already worked to automate a significant amount of the regression and acceptance testing, but it was taking weeks to get builds to integrated environments for full regression testing, and our first deployment to production took an entire weekend.
When you move an application to cloud, it is important to design it for the cloud, rather than a lift and shift. Twelve factors provide you architecture guidelines for designing a cloud "native" application.
DevOps methodology is now much easier than ever before With this, the industry has not only gotten rid of the rigidity that existed between the teams that took part in the development lifecycle but also the ways in which the DevOps way of Software Development can be inculcated into the project streams.
Containers vs. VMs: It's All About the Apps!Steve Wilson
There has been much hype about whether Containers will replace Virtual Machines for use in Cloud architectures. We’ll look at the strengths of each technology and how they apply in real-world usage. By taking a top-down (Application-first) approach to requirements analysis, versus a bottoms-up (Infrastructure-first) approach, we can see how unique architectures will emerge that can balance the needs of Developers, DevOps and corporate IT.
Today, it is critical that IT teams are able to easily, consistently deploy to production. Running Docker containers on Amazon Web Services makes it possible to engineer a compliant and DevOps-friendly environment from the ground up. Spring Venture Group successfully migrated to AWS with Docker containers and leveraged Logicworks to migrate to AWS and automate infrastructure build-out and deployment. Join our webinar to learn how Spring Venture Group, an innovative insurance brokerage, reduced risk and improved deployment velocity with Logicworks, AWS, and Docker.

From Chaos to Compliance: The New Digital Governance for DevOpsXebiaLabs
DevOps and related trends (cloud-native, digital transformation, etc.) are unquestionably mainstream, but they still come with difficulties. Many organizations are struggling with outdated governance models that slow down digital innovation, while not effectively reducing risk. Plan/build/run, stage-gated checklists, and approval boards are losing favor, but what will replace them? Risk management is still critical.
Special guest Charles Betz, Forrester Principal Analyst, joined Dan Beauregard, VP, Cloud & DevOps Evangelist at XebiaLabs, to discuss:
• The role of an integrated, end-to-end release pipeline in ensuring auditability and standards compliance
• The evolution and automation of change and release management and the decline of the Change Approval Board
• Chaos and resilience engineering as the basis for a new governance model
Supercharge Your Digital Transformation by Establishing a DevOps PlatformXebiaLabs
Although DevOps practices have gained wide adoption across industries, many organizations are still failing in their digital transformation efforts because they focus on tools over people and processes. You can avoid this trap by providing DevOps as a platform that is built and maintained by experts who provide standardized tools, templates, and processes to teams across the organization—regardless of those teams’ roles within the company, the type of applications or environments they work with, or the software delivery patterns they’ve adopted.
A centralized DevOps platform allows developers to leverage predefined delivery processes, so they don’t have to reinvent the wheel to get their apps into Production. It also helps ensure the right processes are followed and the right people are involved at the right times. A DevOps platform can provide both technical users and business stakeholders with end-to-end visibility into the software delivery process—promoting information sharing and collaboration across the organization.
Learn how to successfully implement a DevOps platform in your organization, so that every team gets the tools, templates, and visibility they need to deliver software faster than ever before.
Build a Bridge Between CI/CD and ITSM w/ Quint TechnologyXebiaLabs
DevOps heeft een grote sprong gemaakt in het verbeteren van het softwareleveringsproces. Het is echter verrassend hoeveel organisaties DevOps nog gescheiden houden van gevestigde IT-servicemanagement (ITSM) systemen zoals ServiceNow. Voor Development blijft het hierdoor een uitdaging om functies, gebruikersverhalen en IT-serviceaanvragen bij te houden in de verschillende tools voor backlog management en ITSM.
Hoe zorgt Development ervoor dat tickets worden gesloten als het werk voltooid is? Hoe wordt de naleving gegarandeerd? En de ultieme vraag: welke functie heeft de release daadwerkelijk opgeleverd?
Make Software Audit Nightmares a Thing of the PastXebiaLabs
Do you regularly struggle through a painful compliance and audit process that takes many laborious months to complete? Are you constantly pulling critical resources away from essential tasks to address these items? Do your teams lose motivation after gathering audit evidence and sitting through countless hours of meeting after meeting?
Learn how to avoid the audit firestorm by creating a complete software chain of custody that can provide comprehensive audit reports automatically, whenever you need them.
DevOps and cloud seem to be a match made in heaven...however, there are challenges that organizations experience when incorporating cloud technologies into their DevOps practices. XebiaLabs Cloud & DevOps Evangelist, Dan Beauregard, and Director of DevOps Strategy, Vincent Lussenburg, discussed why DevOps is leading many organizations to move to the cloud and how to make this transition as seamless as possible in an enterprise environment.
Compliance und Sicherheit im Rahmen von Software-DeploymentsXebiaLabs
Viele Unternehmen kennen das Problem. Ständig müssen neue Software-Releases bereitgestellt und dabei immer mehr Anforderungen eingehalten werden, weil sich Sicherheitsrisiken und Compliance-Probleme stets auf mehrere Anwendungen, Teams und Umgebungen gleichzeitig auswirken. Nur wenn Risikobewertung, Sicherheitstests und Compliance bereits als Teil von Continuous Integration (CI) und Continuous Delivery (CD) integriert sind, lassen sich Fehlschläge und Verzögerungen vermeiden. Bei Verstößen gegen die IT-Governance drohen Produktionsausfälle und hohe Geldstrafen.
Das Webinar zeigt mit praktischen Beispielen, wie Sie Sicherheit und Compliance in den Abläufen in Ihrem Unternehmen implementieren können.
Different situations, different teams, and different requirements call for different ways to approach your software delivery initiatives. Your road to success might mean taking the highway or a shortcut to get the job done. However, regardless of your cloud, container, security, compliance, or ITSM goals, all roads eventually lead to the same destination…DevOps.
Industry thought leader and award-winning author Gene Kim, and XebiaLabs Vice President of Customer Success, T.j. Randall, will discuss various strategies IT teams can use to succeed with their DevOps journey without getting lost on the way.
Reaching Cloud Utopia: How to Create a Single Pipeline for Hybrid DeploymentsXebiaLabs
DevOps trends show that, in 2019, large enterprises are accelerating their migration to the cloud and defining goals for the number of applications to migrate over the coming year. To set themselves up for success, companies are not only looking for the right people and processes, but also the right technology for helping them transition to the cloud in a controlled fashion—without throwing compliance, auditability, and security out the window.
So how can organizations gain visibility into which versions of their applications live where, even when running on containers in some environments and on legacy infrastructure on others? And how can they reuse existing environment-specific configurations?
Avoid Troubled Waters: Building a Bridge Between ServiceNow and CI/CDXebiaLabs
DevOps has made great strides in reducing bottlenecks in the software delivery process. Yet, it is surprising how many organizations keep DevOps on a separate track from long-established IT service management (ITSM) implementations and systems such as ServiceNow. Consequently, development teams find it challenging to track features, user stories, and IT service requests across different tools for backlog management and ITSM.
But how do they make sure tickets are closed when the work is complete? How can they ensure compliance? And can they answer the ultimate question: Which feature actually made it into which release?
Shift Left and Automate: How to Bake Compliance and Security into Your Softwa...XebiaLabs
Organizations struggle to deliver more and more software releases while keeping up with ever-increasing security risks and compliance issues across many different applications, teams, and environments. The stakes of that struggle are high: when risk assessment, security testing, and compliance evaluation aren't built into the CI/CD pipeline, releases fail and cause delays, security vulnerabilities threaten Production, and IT governance violations result in expensive fines.
While it is important to reflect on the past, DevOps is all about what’s to come. Join industry thought-leader Gene Kim and XebiaLabs' VP of Product Development, Andreas Prins, for a special end-of-the-year webinar exploring six crucial focus areas for DevOps in 2019. Will next year bridge the gap between business and technology? Will organizations finally be able to use their vast amounts of DevOps data to more accurately predict delivery outcomes? Take a look into our crystal ball for an hour of software soothsaying before the clock strikes midnight.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

23. KLM/AirFrance
KLM chose Deployit to better manage all Java application deployments in
their Service Oriented-Architecture.
“Deployit provides us with a very powerful
system that helps reduce repetitive work, boost
productivity and improve quality.
Now, we’re able to focus more on developing
advanced online functions for our internal and
external customers.”
Ronald Bosch, Director Web Systems
Situation: KLM WebSystems works on 35 projects simultaneously, leading to around 200 Java
EE deployments per week. Previously, over 70% of all deployments failed.
This has now been drastically reduced, leading to savings of up to 150 manhours per project.
