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

Use of "machine learning" to rank resolutions / actions. Happening some places. Utopia is to author (test, stage, utilize) resolutions in an automated way.

@epowell101 that is the language of love here at #crowdchat :-) automation is the key imo

Of course we get back to thread above - fear (for good reason sometimes) of automation run amok. There are some ways to keep it safe beyond just code reviews.

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

I love this quote: "You're only as smart as top 5 people you hang out with"; #does14 assembles some of the best thinkers in the space.

What is the themes and main speakers going to talk about

Very excited: #DOES14 announced speakers so far include talks from Disney, Macy's, GE Capital, CSG, Blackboard, Barclay's Capital, Dept of Homeland Security, Nordstrom, Ticketmaster/LiveNation, Capital One, Raytheon...

Welcome aboard everyone!!! Sorry I'm late

Great to see you here. Last time was on @theCUBE #devops rules

Hows the book coming

PS: Thanks to the entire #DevOps Enterprise Summit program committee: @adrianco @damonedwards @dominica @johndesser @botchagalupe @rj_tech

What are some of the submissions you are most excited about Gene?

I love that #DOES14 will have some of the most recognizable names in almost every industry vertical. #devops is for horses, not just unicorns. :)

One of my fave talks: Mark Schwartz, CIO, US Citizen and Immigration Svs, part of US DHS. One of the bravest transformations I've ever seen.

(DevOps Cookbook is coming along. 2nd release chunk almost out to reviewers. 75% complete. :)

(We plan on giving out DevOps Cookbook galley copies to all #DOES14 attendees. I'll shoot myself if it's not done in time. :)

you'll get it done!

.@UberGeekGirl Haha. I've kept daily word count diary for 4 years. Sometimes it's depressing to look at that graph. :)
