Introduction to Puppet Enterprise 2016.4
This document introduces Puppet Enterprise, an automation platform that helps companies deliver software faster and more reliably at scale. It begins with an agenda for the introduction, then discusses how Puppet Enterprise works by defining configurations, simulating changes, enforcing policies, and reporting results. It also provides an example of how Puppet Enterprise has helped Staples reduce deployment times from weeks to minutes. Finally, it outlines next steps for learning more including downloading a free trial, checking out a learning VM, and searching for additional modules.
Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment involves shipping code as frequently as possible, even multiple times per day. It allows for smaller changes with less risk, faster feedback, and a competitive advantage. To achieve this, companies optimize their deployment process, automate testing and deployments, and measure everything to learn and improve continuously. This approach is enabled by technologies like cloud computing and embraced by companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
Datadog + VictorOps Webinar
A granular look into The Do's and Don't of Post Incident Analysis, featuring Jason Hand - DevOps Evangelist - from VictorOps and Jason Yee - Technical Writer/Evangelist - from Datadog.
Topics include a breakdown of the process in the following order:
- Service disruptions
- Detection
- Diagnosis
- Post-incident analysis
- Framework
WinOps Conf 2016 - Gael Colas - Configuration Management Theory: Why Idempote...
We'll discover the reasons why it is a risky bet to not *aim* to manage infrastructure and its configuration with idempotence and immutability at heart.
Sharing real world experience, we'll see why configurations should not be done by humans (it's like playing Djenga), and why what may work at the beginning does not work over a long period of time or scale (pet vs cattle problem).

You wouldn't build a toast, would you
In 2011, Thomas Thwaites spent 9 months and £1187.54 and built his own toaster.
In his own words, he described the toaster as a partial success because "for about five seconds, the toaster toasted, but then unfortunately, the elements kind of melted itself". He is right in the sense that his audacious attempt won him fame and attention, and his TED talk was viewed more than 1M times. But judging his creation on its own and it's an abject failure that was 300 time more expensive than a commercial toaster, took too long to build and was utterly unfit for purpose.
As a business that is competing in an increasingly competitive world enabled by advancements in technology, the questions we should be asking ourselves are: "what are the business value, cost and risk in building our own infrastructure vs using a managed service?". In this talk, let's take an objective look at the ongoing debate of containers vs serverless and look at the arguments of control vs responsibility, vendor lock-in and more!

Faster to Master without Disaster
Is it really possible to have your code deployed to production in under in 10 minutes? The ultimate goal of every developer should be to deploy his/her code to production. The sooner your end users will be able to use your feature, the sooner the true business value of the feature kicks in. In this #Devops tale ‘Faster to master without disaster’ Pat Hermens and Pepijn Sitter will take you on a journey on how to achieve this without losing sanity. They each work in very different environments and offer you practical insights into the choices they made in order to help their teams succeed at delivering their software.

Automating your processes with JIRA
Jamie Echlin details how and why to start automating processes and workflows in Atlassian JIRA. Presented at the iDalko event in Antwerp on April 14th 2016.
The Why and How of Continuous Delivery
The document discusses continuous delivery (CD), which is a strategy for frequently releasing software changes by making the deployment process automated and ensuring the mainline code is always in a deployable state. It outlines some issues with traditional release processes like long release cycles and merge conflicts. CD aims to reduce risks by deploying changes frequently after automated testing. Benefits include being more responsive to demands and reducing pressure and waste. The core benefit is allowing teams to release changes fast while maintaining confidence. It addresses common objections to CD and argues that it is actually a risk reduction strategy.
What should you expect from your Drupal Web Host

A Product Manager's Place in a DevOps World
Today's world is a DevOps one, and as a Product Manager that means you're part of the dev team. As teams transition from building products to running services, you must adapt your role as teams embrace DevOps and create dedicated Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams.
Consider these questions:
What's your role during an incident?
How do you communicate to customers?
Are you incorporating reliability metrics into your product roadmap?
The good news is, you can contribute to running services just as much as building products. In this talk, learn how Product Managers on the JIRA team contribute to incident management and review, support a green build culture, plan for reliability, and roll out features and experiments in a services-first world.
Dave Meyer, Senior Product Manager, Atlassian
Continues Deployment - Tech Talk week
The document discusses continuous deployment practices at Outbrain, an online content recommendation company. It emphasizes the importance of short feedback loops between code changes and user exposure through practices like deploying new code multiple times daily and testing code changes automatically before deployment. Infrastructure is codified and deployment is automated using tools like Chef to further streamline the process.
A Journey to the Cloud
The document discusses lessons learned from a company's journey to moving their infrastructure and applications to the cloud. It describes how simply migrating applications without changes ("lift and shift") is rarely successful. Instead, rearchitecting for cloud native services allows taking advantage of scalability, redundancy, and pay-for-use models. Automating processes and using cloud-provided security tools requires adapting internal processes and governance for the new operational model of the cloud. Moving to the cloud is a transformational journey for the entire enterprise, not just IT operations.

Devops
Kris Buytaert discusses the evolution from separate development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams to a DevOps model where both work together. In the past, Devs would deploy code without considering operational requirements, but now both sides collaborate throughout the development process. Buytaert advocates automating infrastructure management and deployment to improve workflow between Devs and Ops. Adopting practices like configuration management and continuous integration helps bring the two roles together.
Cloud Academy Webinar: Recipe for DevOps Success: Capital One Style
Capital One transitioned to a DevOps model to improve speed of delivery and reduce handoffs between teams. They started with a SWAT team that automated builds, deployments, and infrastructure for two applications. This proved successful and they expanded automation to more applications. Challenges included trying to automate everything at once and handoffs when automation was returned to application teams. Key lessons included focusing on automation, removing handoffs, training application teams on automation, and delivering working solutions incrementally rather than waiting for perfection.

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.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
