The venue, food and refreshments were provided by Audible at a state-of-the-art, vast office space in historical city of Newark. After fun networking over pizza, wine and beer, we kicked off […]
14 Tools That Raise Web and App Performance
In the DevOps Era, teams increasingly are turning to a variety of tools to integrate, accelerate and automate. Speed and efficiency are critical. This is especially amplified in continuous delivery (CD), which enables IT teams to achieve fast and reliable releases. If successful, CD allows for a faster time to market, increased operational effectiveness and […]
FLAP, Part 3: Full Data Center Provisioning
In the first two parts of this series (Part 1, Part 2), we covered server provisioning and application provisioning. Knowing a bit about each of these tools is useful (although one blog is hardly a thorough evaluation of strengths and weaknesses—I strongly suggest you do more research), knowing how they work together is the point […]
FLAP, Part 1: Server Provisioning
We have reached the state where end-to-end data center provisioning is a reality. It’s early yet, so there is a certain amount of work involved, but today a DevOps team essentially can turn on the automation and move on to other DevOps priorities. It takes some effort, depending upon the solution chosen, but the end […]
The Two-Month Hello World
How Project Onboarding Can Undermine DevOps Efforts at Large Organizations A “hello world” application is the most basic program a developer, typically a beginner, will write to learn a new language. It’s a sort of “everything works”—a stack-checker app to kick off a project quickly and see its results. The resulting hello world program is […]
Culture Change: Metrics, Tools Make a Difference
Change is in the wind. This time of the year, as winter weather gives way to springtime renewal, this concept isn’t a cliché but rather a concrete, visceral experience. You go outside, smell the earth defrosting and know for certain that change is happening all around you. You can feel it. Such is the case […]
Evolving to Continuous Testing
As agile development practices mature and DevOps principles infiltrate our corporate cultures, organizations are realizing the distinct opportunity to accelerate software delivery. However, when you speed up any process, immature practice areas such as testing and roadblocks become much more pronounced. It’s the difference between driving over a speed bump at 5 mph vs. 50 […]
Experts Weigh In on the Evolution of DevOps
DevOps is an ethereal concept. It means different things to different organizations and individuals. It also is going through an evolution, which means that as quickly as we might think we have a grasp on what it is and how to effectively employ it, DevOps has moved on. There’s no way to accurately predict whether […]
3 Reasons Why Automation is Critical
We’re hearing a lot about the “outcome economy”—how businesses must be results-oriented to meet evolving customer demand and gain greater market share. Today’s marketplace is connected, always on and increasingly competitive. Companies are adopting what we call an “as-a-service” approach to achieve better outcomes fast, consuming and leveraging leading-edge technologies such as cloud and automation. […]
Does DevOps Help or Hinder Compliance?
DevOps tools and principles have revolutionized IT across many industries in recent years. But companies saddled with requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), for example, tend to be more cautious when it comes to adopting cutting-edge solutions.
