It is true that DevOps has grown to be the beast in the room. I’ll co-opt the “cloudwashing” term to call it “DevOps-washing” because it seems every tool you’ve ever used to develop and deploy applications now has a DevOps angle to it. For example, the Jenkins update center is kind of overwhelming. While I […]
Operations Management Puts the ‘Ops’ in DevOps
Awareness and anticipation of operational management, best practices can improve your app at every stage of its life cycle How important or interesting you find the “operations management” aspects of DevOps methodologies likely depends on your background, experience and how many operational horror stories you have lived through. If you have been on the hot […]
How an Integrated Tool System Helps Implement DevOps
DevOps is the marriage of application development teams with system operations teams, their philosophies and actions. In an agile environment, development, testing and operations all must work together to meet frequent iterations, releases and delivery goals. This calls for a collaborative development environment that supports data orchestration with other lifecycle tools. The article will explain […]

QA/Testing and DevOps: Partners, Not Adversaries
Software testing and QA is sometimes given low priority during development. The idea of treating software testers as adversaries by the developers seems old-fashioned and is short-sighted. It’s hard to believe that such an attitude can still exist, and yet it still persists, even in a modern DevOps team. But a DevOps-focused software team benefits […]
Making the Data Work for You: Data Visualization Techniques
When Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management, performed a two-year in-depth analysis of the General Motors corporation in the 1940s, he undertook what may have been the world’s most ambitious big data analysis ever at that time. However, when he gave the results to GM chairman Alfred Sloan, Al was not happy. In […]
Bridging the Gap Between ITSM and Software Engineering
Considering the individual roles of IT service management (ITSM) and software engineers, it seems obvious they should work closely together. ITSM tracks internal and external customer issues, and engineering fixes code-related issues (such as defects) that IT cannot fix on its own. However, more often than not, coordination between these two departments is poor, […]
Platform9 Brings Workflows to Serverless Computing
Serverless computing frameworks are widely regarded as the next big thing in enterprise IT because they are based on an event-driven architecture that makes servers, storage and networking resources dynamically available as needed using a programming construct known as functions. But DevOps teams are challenged in finding a way to orchestrate all those functions in […]
Scaling DevOps at Pearson

Its footprint in the educational publishing marketplace is expansive, and its scope was just one challenge when it made the move to DevOps. Sean D. Mack (@SeanDMackNYC) is formerly the VP of Operations and Application for Pearson. To give you an idea of […]
DevOps Introduces Complexity. Really
The larger the project, the more resources are generally dedicated to it. That is true of the vast majority of fields of human endeavor. Consider building the San Francisco Bridge versus building a crossing over a stream. Or World War II versus the Spanish Civil War. The resources dedicated scale with the size and complexity […]
