🗂 Link: Financial services and cloud: Delivering digital transformation in a highly regulated industry
“The most difficult part of what was a 10-month programme of work was that we were working to transform the current application, which was manually built, on-premise, and converting that into infrastructure as code,” says Niculescu. “So we essentially took what would be manually-built environments that would usually take us weeks and months and numerous…

🗂 Link: Scale and velocity are driving the next generation of DevOps
This massive growth in scale has required an evolution in practices and organization to achieve success. Most of what technologists are aware of in this regard is labeled “DevOps,” but there is more nuance to it than that. The way infrastructure capacity is allocated becomes decoupled from specific hardware, so the infrastructure team has to…

Link: SAPPHIRENow 2019 – Coke’s secret IT formula revealed – ditch waterfall for DevOps
You’re basically breaking things down into smaller increments. I’m constantly getting in front of the customer. At the end of the day, you’re delivering really what the customer wants from you.

Platform as a Product talk
Here’s a recording of one of my talks. It’s on what the operations team does when running in a platform, DevOps-y, whatever style: Developers don’t need “services” from ops, they need products: continuously innovated platforms that evolve weekly. Once ops toil is removed, ops can focus on their customers’ – development – needs. Using stories…

Link: The Rise, Fall, And Rise Again Of The Integrated Developer Toolchain
And this is where DevOps tool vendors now see opportunity. The mounting tax of maintaining tools has grown so extensive that offering an all-in-one solution may just be the trick to get development teams unstuck and the innovation train rolling even faster.

5 Definitions of DevOps
I’ve tracked at least three different definitions of DevOps since the days of “agile infrastructure”: Using Puppet and Chef (and then Ansible and Chef) to replace Opsware and BladeLogic. Full stack engineers to setup EC2, load-balancers, and other Morlock shit. Full stack engineers are bad, but sort of the same thing. Also, you can’t have…

DevOps, monolithic architectures, craftsmanship – an unpublished interview
I’m too wordy when I reply to reporters. This is mostly true everywhere I produce content. I don’t like trite, simple answers. Brevity and clarity makes me suspicious, especially on topics I know well. As a consequence, I don’t think this interview by email was ever published. What’s a DevOps advocate? If you mean what…

🗂 Pivotal Cloud Foundry 2.4 Boosts Security With Compliance Scanner
Two big features: > So how does zero downtime actually work in production? Seroter explained that, for example, an organization could deploy an application (v1) with Cloud Foundry and then perhaps a second app (v2). After the v2 application is deployed, an administrator could then just simply switch the network route to enable the new…

🗂 Kubernetes, what it’s for
> The reason that Kubernetes is successful is because people look at it and they don’t understand why they need it until they see it do stuff. Then they say “Oh my God, I need that!”I can’t say how many talks and presentations I’ve done in front of skeptical audiences where they don’t understand what…

Link: SRE: The Biggest Lie Since Kanban
That’s why SRE is a Big Lie – because it enables people to say they’re doing a thing that could help their organization succeed, and their dev and ops engineers to have a better career and life while doing so – but not really do it. Yes, there have been Big Lies before, which is…

Link: Air Force wants to make ‘Kessel Run’ standard in tech acquisition
“You’re probably going to see maybe a directive from us that basically says every acquisition is going to have to have something that looks like Kessel Run from the primes. So you want to have [authority to operate] within three or four weeks, not six years.” Original source: Air Force wants to make ‘Kessel Run’…
