That automation is one of the critical components of DevOps is apparent in numerous surveys and studies that focus on the benefits organizations have realized from implementing the approach across operational groups. Automation itself starts with (or should start with) a comprehensive API. That means infrastructure – network and application focused – needs to expose […]
Acorns Turns Sluggish FiServ on its Head with DevOps
Modern investment tools are popping up all over the place. Not only are they shifting the power from large institutions to the consumer, they are applying modern technology to a red-tape laden world.
Mobility Means Enterprises Need to Get Lean with DevOps
When people say “mobile” most folks think “devices.” Phones. Tablets. Phablets. Smart things. Wearables. But what we really ought to be talking about in most cases is apps. A McKinsey & Company survey noted, “When we recently surveyed 250 CIOs on their mobility strategies, 56 percent reported strong demand from employees to support a wide […]
The Dark Side of Infrastructure as Code
We spend a lot of time extolling the virtues of infrastructure as code. All of it is true. Treating infrastructure as code can add great value in terms of its ability to promote consistent, predictable and repeatable results during the application deployment process. One of the ways in which infrastructure is treated as code is […]
Enterprise DevOps and the Project Management Office
Welcome back to this occasional staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud series on Enterprise DevOps Q&A. Remember, if you have questions about DevOps in the enterprise, let me know and I will try to answer them (or find someone who can). E-mail me at andi.mann@ca.com, tweet me at @AndiMann, or leave a comment below. This week brings a question about […]
Moving Security To the Left In a DevOps World
Moving security to the left has become a coined phrase meant to describe the process of getting the security team involved earlier in a process. Most typically, the phrase is used in conjunction with IT or software development projects. One of the top suggestions for ensuring security in a DevOps world is to move security […]
Right-Picking the First Project to Go DevOps On
One of the hardest things to do when starting a new initiative is picking the right project to work on. Should I start with App A? App B? Does it really matter as long as I get started on this DevOps thing and prove its value to management? Yes, actually, it might. If you think about […]
Provisioning versus Configuration Example
A few weeks back I wrote about the difference between configuration and provisioning noting, primarily, that there are differences between the two tasks. It remains an important distinction to make because it’s really where the rubber meets the road (or the app meets the network) where it becomes important. As the infrastructure/network side of the […]
Keep Calm and Refactor Operations
Developers have been refactoring forever to gain efficiencies and avoid mistakes. Let’s apply more than just theory to ops to do the same. There’s about a million articles, blogs, tweets and infographics available today that bespeak of DevOps as this or that or the other thing. But one core truth remains: DevOps in part attempts […]
Enterprises, DevOps and Economies of Scale
In infrastructure there are two economies of scale: operational and capital. DevOps should attend to the former, especially in the enterprise. Soon after cloud burst (sorry, pun not intended) onto the scene we all learned about economy of scale because that, primarily, is what cloud computing’s business model is based on. At great volume, standardization […]
