Learn what experts think about where we are in DevOps and where we need to go next!

Julian Simpson (@builddoctor) summarizes devops as "a rejection of conflict between two groups who attempt to achieve conflicting goals, and an attempt to be good at whatever pigeonhole you’re in." Our first talk will elaborate on this through expert opinions on how far along we are today, and where we're going next. You'll hear examples of tools and ideas you can employ to make the devops goal a reality.

Monitoring the DevOps Way

Today's operations environments can generate a huge volume of raw data. It's getting more challenging (especially as our systems scale out) to manage just storing all that information, let alone turn it into something comprehensible. When large-scale system issues surface, every second can matter when you're searching for a resolution. Even more importantly, the right information can make the difference between an issue happening or not happening in the first place! Thankfully, Open Source can help! This talk will cover, using examples from production life at Media Temple operations, * Some proven patterns that help with * Reducing the amount of data that gets generated in the first place * Storing, visualizing and exploring that data * Making that data quickly accessible and comprehensible * A survey of both established and emerging Open Source tools available in this area

Quality Assurance in a DevOps World

Category: 
Audience: 

Enabling Success

If DevOps indeed is a cultural paradigm of trust within the development and operations functions of a software service organization then there are a few derived requirements essential to enabling such a thing. Testing is the most important requirement of them all. Quality assurance, regardless of it being its own entity or not, is the "greased skid" that enables successful DevOps. Quality assurance, in automated form, is the proof that is foundational to the trust that enables confidence in both sides. So, it is imperative that both development and operations shops take a more active role in how quality assurance is defined and executed. This may be as much of a culture shift as development and operations collaborating - but, this talk will discuss the why's and how's of such a thing.

Cloud is not just for greenfield Applications

Category: 
Audience: 

Migrate your existing applications to the cloud

Developers and architects looking to build new applications in the cloud can simply design the components, processes and workflow for their solution, employ the APIs of the cloud of their choice, and leverage the latest cloud-based best practices for design, development, testing and deployment. In choosing to deploy their solutions in a cloud, they can take immediate advantage of instant scalability and elasticity, isolated processes, reduced operational effort, on-demand provisioning and automation. At the same time, many businesses are looking for better ways to migrate their existing applications to a cloud-based infrastructure so that they, too, can enjoy the same advantages seen with greenfield application development. In this session, Jinesh Varia will discuss a practical strategy to migrate your existing applications to the cloud. He will discuss a phase-driven approach to cloud migration and share stories of several enterprise customers who have successfully migrated to AWS cloud including Amazon.com internal corporate IT applications. The session will be filled with lessons learned, tips and some hidden insights that have not been publicly disclosed yet.
