Orchestration: How To Get Everyone in Tune
Automation is key to success in the cloud. When your entire infrastructure is accessible via an API, it doesn’t make sense to configure and install your applications by hand. This is where orchestration tools come into play. Simply put: You will not have long-term success in the cloud unless an orchestration tool is a core […]

5 Key Aspects of High Fidelity DevOps
As much as we talk about how we should have shared goals spanning Dev and Ops, it’s not nearly as easy as it sounds. To fuel a DevOps culture, we have to build robust tooling, also. That means investing up front in five key areas: abstraction, composability, automation, orchestration, and idempotency. Together, these concepts allow […]
Streamlining Cloud Tools, Platforms Management

From QA to Continuous Testing
My prior blog “DevOps – It’s All About Continuous Testing” posits that QA testers don’t need to fear DevOps because continuous testing QA is a central part of DevOps infrastructures that are implemented according to best practices. That is not to say however that continuous testing is precisely the same as traditional QA testing or […]
