Press Release: DevOps Summit

LeaderBoard

#DOES14Future of DevOps and CD Hosted by Steve Brodie, CEO of Electric Cloud, and Gene Kim, noted DevOps author and researcher

Stream Ended

Gene, you recently said, “We hope to create a community of practice for people who are driving large-scale transformation, so we can codify the patterns that are enabling their success." What do you mean by “codifying the patterns”?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

We'll document the common patterns among all the #devops transformations told at #DOES14, so others can replicate them in their own orgs.

@realgenekim love the "codifying the patterns" and/or open source the patterns idea. Very valuable and will be a great outcome for everyone if #DOES14 moves this along.

@epowell101 Evan great to see you hanging with the #devops crew

#DOES14 talks show #devops is not just for 1%-ers (unicorns); it's for 99%-ers (horses), too. :)

We see a great opportunity to build consensus in the community on the patterns and best practices

@epowell101 particularly the patterns and best practices when doing DevOps and CD at scale

Nowadays it seems that every new startup is doing DevOps and CD. Its one thing to do this for one app. Entirely different to implement at a large financial institution

Trivia fact: top industry verticals for #DOES14 submissions, by far: retailing, financial svcs (!!!)

And we will also have stories for customers in embedded

I'll ask the big question.. Does Amazon end up running the entire table in public cloud? Does anyone have a chance to compete?

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)

@stbrodie and @realgenekim, I would be VERY interested in either of you commenting on the difference between #DOES14, #DevOpsDays, and/or #DevOpsSummit (via UNICOM)? Lots of events on DevOps these days. Why?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

Gene can speak to this very eloquently but in a nutshell our Summit is squarely targeted at large enterprises and ISVs pursuing DevOps and Continuous Delivery

for those in the DevOps community, we've heard the stories of Netflix, Etsy, Amazon, etc.

DOES14 will highlight real-world stories from companies like GE, Disney, SpaceX, Barclay's Bank,TicketMaster, Nordstrom,Gap and many many more

@stbrodie Thanks very much for the clarification.

Welsey don't forget #devops CrowdChats .. Devops is the fastest growing community of developers on the planet

#DOES14 focuses on heroic journey of horses, where Velocity/DevOpsDays (my fave cons) is about the unicorns.

Some of my best friends are unicorns, but we need to broaden #devops narrative to include horses.

I believe majority of economic #devops value will come from horses, not unicorns. Just saying. :)

#DOES14 program committee very focused on talks from ppl leading #devops xforms in large, complex orgs

How much of a focus will IoT & embedded software be at #DOES14?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

Great question #iot is hot GE calls it the #industrialcloud

Many people don't believe DevOps and Continuous Delivery is relevant for organizations developing IoT and embedded softare solutions

However, we have a number of IoT and Embedded customers, such as GE, SpaceX and Huawei that have successfully implement CD initiatives

Great video, I think there should be a big focus on data protection and safety. I want to be certain that my information is being protected.

@Oren_Carmeli Hi Oren, agree 100% on the need data protection, privacy an security. Critical to incorporate this perspective and validation into the continuous delivery process

Question: What are some of the barriers to accelerating the pace of quality software into production and deployment?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

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...

2014 State Of DevOps Findings! Velocity Conference
Presentation by Nicole Forsgren Velasquez | Jez Humble | Nigel Kersten | Gene Kim

@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
