Security Automation By Example The Firewall Change Just when you thought DevOps was the new black, along comes SecDevOps. Yes folks, like most things in life, the new cool is already here. Before I move on to trying to explain SecDevOps, please accept my mea culpa because for many people DevOps is yet to be […]
Does DevOps spell death for Line-of-Business (LOB) Applications?
Perhaps wrongly, “DevOps” has been associated with “new” and “that thing for the cool kids” and the “hipster developers”. This is used both as an excuse and as a source of animosity against the movement. But more subtly, I sometimes observe IT departments that acknowledge DevOps as a thing, but claim it wont work for […]
You have to crawl before you walk…
In previous posts I have explained what Security Policy Orchestration is, why DevOps folks should care, and how it can help facilitate the cultural change necessary for organizations to reap the long-term benefits of the cloud and virtualization. In this post, I’ll provide a few examples of how Security Policy Orchestration can create some “quick […]
DevOps storytime: MTTR vs. Goodheart’s Law
I am not a fan of metrics. Wait. That’s not right. Let me try again. I am not a fan of singular metrics that stand by themselves. Nope. That’s still not right. I loathe singular metrics that stand by themselves as if they themselves are solutions to problems. Ok. That works. Let me explain. Last […]
DevOps makes coding more social, social coding makes better code
One of the main principles of DevOps is to break down silos. What’s more like a silo than the image of a lone developer, shutting himself off from the world in order to code more and interact with people less? “I’m just here to write code and that’s all I do.” There’s nothing collaborative or […]

DevOps: Security’s last best hope
Help us Obi Wan! The fact is that DevOps is security’s last best hope. The sooner the security industry realizes it the better it will be for everyone. I read George Hulme’s story today about proceeding with caution and going slow with DevOps. Of course it was no surprise to me that those cautioning to […]
DevOps developers; don’t be a DevGoof
There was a lot of brush back last week over Jeff Knupp’s post about how DevOps is killing the developer. Frankly I wasn’t shocked by Knupp’s opinion that developers “are the dentists in the dental office”. In my 30+ years of involvement in the IT industry my experience is that developers often think of themselves […]
What Cisco’s OpFlex means for DevOps
Some big news in networking land at Interop this year revolved around Cisco’s latest contribution to open source and the Internet, its proposed “OpFlex” control plane protocol. The protocol itself is focused on communicating with network elements and specifies encoding in a variety of formats, including JSON, that are developer-friendly. That’s nice, of course, but […]
Advanced Automation – Getting Your Systems to Work for You
In my previous post I discussed how to take your DevOps to the next level by taking it beyond infrastructure automation, to the automation of your deployments and code pushes, through patches and updates. And then I promised to make it interesting…so here is the next stage – actually using the extracted data to get […]
