Question: What are some of the barriers to accelerating the pace of quality software into production and deployment?
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE3OTE0OTcw.jpeg)
Steve Brodie
Many organizations have bottlenecks due lack of automation or silos of automation
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE3OTE0OTcw.jpeg)
Steve Brodie
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?
Wesley Pullen
@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

@Crowdfather DevOps is fundamentally cloud agnostic IMO
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE1MTE5NjYy.jpeg)
Evan Powell
We see a lack of trust and transparency in cross silo automation - if any exists. Agree w/ @stbrodie
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE3OTE0OTcw.jpeg)
Steve Brodie
@Crowdfather We see organizations implementing CD on top of private cloud baed on VMWare, OpenStack and others

John Furrier
@stbrodie Can you explain the silo piece in detail
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE3OTE0OTcw.jpeg)
Steve Brodie
@Crowdfather We also see organizations doing DevOps on a variety of public clouds

Evan Powell
@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
![](https://crowdspotsimages.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/profile-images/dXNlcjp0d2l0dGVyOjE3OTE0OTcw.jpeg)
Steve Brodie
@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

@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

Steve Brodie
@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
