DOES14

Many organizations have bottlenecks due lack of automation or silos of automation

A common theme among submissions for #devops adoption barrier was "low trust culture" and "culture culture culture"

In many of the organizations we visit, common bottlenecks include long build times, manual testing, and slow deployment and provisioning

What about roles of different clouds? I like AWS for something not for others? How do I work across the cloud providers?

@stbrodie I completely agree here.

As Gene notes, the solution is multi-dimensional. A successful CD/DevOps transformation requires evolution in culture, process and technology

I love the universality of certain #devops barriers: culture, manual testing, compliance... we're all fighting same battles.

@Crowdfather DevOps is fundamentally cloud agnostic IMO

We see a lack of trust and transparency in cross silo automation - if any exists. Agree w/ @stbrodie

@Crowdfather We see organizations implementing CD on top of private cloud baed on VMWare, OpenStack and others

@stbrodie Can you explain the silo piece in detail

@Crowdfather We also see organizations doing DevOps on a variety of public clouds

@stbrodie at the risk of the worst acronym in DevOps, do we need Automation As A Service? We've seen it just a few places, not broadly done (yet).

@epowell101 Evan, you are correct, the trust issues are some of the biggest challenges

@epowell101 I believe the reality is that organizations with strong silos and trust issues probably struggle to achieve faster cycle times, higher quality, greater responsiveness and better uptime

.@furrier @stbrodie: Yes! In research, high trust was 1 of top predictors of lead time, MTTR, deploy freq.

PS: Here's the PPT that @jezhumble, @nicolefv, @nigelkersten gave 2 wks ago: http://www.slideshar...

@epowell101 We probably have more than enough acronyms in our industry before we introduce AaaS :-)

@stbrodie Regarding lack of trust in automation, we see a N^2 integration challenge too. Many to many tied together w/ scripts typically or "real code" at places like AWS.

@stbrodie @epowell101 That said, many of our largest customer have setup centralized, shared continuous delivery services on an internal private cloud

@epowell101 Regarding the N^2 integration challenge, definitely a challenge with point to point integrations or linkages

@epowell101 Some of the most successful organizations we see employ and E2E orchestration solution to automation the software delivery pipeline from developer check-in to production release and feedback loops from produyction monitoring

always the best question; what's the core value: content or networking, technology, or all?

Participants will hear stories from some of the world's leading enterprises on the transformative benefits they are seeing from DevOps and CD

I would ask too who should attend the DevOps Enterprise Summit?

Participants will see that DevOps and Continuous Delivery is not just for Silicon Valley tech companies like NetFlix, Google and Facebook

Hi, @WesleyPullen! Attendees will see orgs that look like them, undertaking #devops transformations that they can hopefully replicate themselves.

Participants will hear real-world case studies from customers like GE, Disney, Barclay's Capital, Nordstrom and many more

Hey @realgenekim :)! Great to see you on this chat. Any chance you will hi-light patterns or roadmaps that participants can walk away with to implement and use within their own companies?

What giveaways do we get?

Early analysis of #does14 submissions and accepted talks: top titles incl "chief architects", "Dir/VP", "distinguished engr/technical fellow" (!!)

Participants will also hear how Continuous Delivery is the new Agile - an evolution and extension of Agile focused on accelerating delivery of valuable software into the hands of end users

(I've always had deep respect for Distinguished Engineers & Technical Fellows. Serious kung fu. :)

We've got some incredible swag! You gotta join us to find out ;^)

Hey @stbrodie :). Thanks for the details.

@Crowdfather Join us to see all the incredible swag

@stbrodie AWS always get slammed for bad swag

Absolutely, we plan on on writing up key findings from #does14 on #devops horse transformations

Agree 100%. The focus has been on Agile "development" for a long time. E.g. are we doing scrum or pair programming, meeting standing up, etc

in some cases there were religious battles and we lost sight of the 1st principle of the Agile Manifesto. Focus o continuous delivery of valuable software to customers

Continuous Deliver to me is #devops goodness so I love this concept; The new agile makes sense; all new developers are native to devops and strong #opensource communities

With the publication of Jez Humble's book on "Continuous Delivery" recently, the focus has once again turned to the first principle, recognizing that value is not added until the software in the hands of the end users

Opensource is the new mafia. Tier 1 citizen.. now we need to maintain the peace

High trust is one of top predictor of #devops perf. We all benefit from #agile movement that started 11 yrs ago

@Crowdfather Who are the five families?

@furrier Loving the Godfather reference!

@stbrodie Everything you need to know in business you can learn watching the #godfather :-)

AWS is kicking ass no doubt; Andy Jassy team is innovating very fast. Enterprise grade is big issue thought and many like IBM, VMware/Pivotal, HP, and Microsoft have a say there

AWS certainly has a big lead at the moment. Personally, I would not count out Microsoft Azure or Google's renewed push

(It's awe-inspiring to see Google's recent mobilization of engrs into their cloud efforts...)

it'll be hard for AWS to compete against a wide array of competitors by itself. Similar to the competition between iPhones and Androids

When we talked to the founder of Dropcam at #AWSreinvent it was clear that #devops model will replace traditional software development practices and solutions

@Oren_Carmeli who is iphone? AWS? fully integrated stacks is the key; #oracle calls it engineered systems .. I call it purpose built

Regardless of how the cloud wars play out, we all benefit as the cloud is such a major enabler of the DevOps and CD movement

For many organizations, provisioning new hardware or virtual machines is a major bottleneck

Public and private clouds remove one of the major inhibitors to responsiveness and faster cycle times

@furrier These companies are like athletes. They can rise to the top, but their status is ephemeral. There will always be a new generation to replace the old.

A submission I hope makes it in: "Millions Of QA Engrs Worldwide Will Be Disrupted By #DevOps" @paulpeissner

(Most humans I know want to help QA/testers who only know manual testing, trying to live in #devops world)
