Can Wire Data Be APM?
I recently read something – a blog, a tweet, a LinkedIn article perhaps –
describing the use of wire data to analyze application performance. I
remember that the author’s use of the term “APM” in this context caused
one reader to comment, complaining that “you can’t call wire data APM.”
This was around the same time I referred casually to Dynatrace’s wire data
offering (Data Center Real User Monitoring, or DC RUM) as both “APM for IT
Operations” and “probe-based APM.” So that complaint has stuck with me,
prompting me to ask – and offer an answer to – the question.
It depends, of course, on answers to related questions. How do you define
APM? What role does APM play in your organization? What APM insights can wire
data provide? Let’s take a brief look at each of these.
What is APM to you?
In very general terms (Wikipedia is great for this), APM i... (more)
DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in
enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and
increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes
more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the ‘digital
exhaust' from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing,
APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things,
and now even blockchain.
In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit 19th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps
Conference Chair Andi Mann, Gordon Haff, senior cloud strategy marketing and
evangelism manager at Red Hat; Dave Bilbrough, product evangelist for the
Adobe Marketing Cloud; and Paul Peissner, Customer Success Specialist at

How Java's Built-In Garbage Collection Will Make Your Life Better (Most of
the Time)
By Kirk Pepperdine
“No provision need be made for the user to program the return of registers
to the free-storage list.”
This line (along with the dozen or so that followed it) is buried in the
middle of John McCarthy’s landmark paper, “Recursive Functions of
Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine,” published in 1960.
It is the first known description of automated memory management.
In specifying how to manage memory in Lisp, McCarthy was able to exclude
explicit memory management. Thus, McCarthy relieved developers of the tedium
of manual memory management. What makes this story truly amazing is that
these few words inspired others to incorporate some form of automated memory
management—otherwise known as garbage collection (GC)—into more than
three quarters of the ... (more)

Personalization in the Age of IoT
More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of
wearables - activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and
more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no
idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be
the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users
should be.

We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it
swung toward "smart for smart's sake," and many brands remain in that corner.
But many brands are also gradually opting for more strategic approaches.

The IoT and Next-Generation Monitoring Challenges
By Zachary Flower
We're living in the future.
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), our world is more automated and
connected than ever before. Just about everything, from cars to
refrigerators, to coffee machines, has the ability to connect to the
Internet, allowing us to micromanage each individual device. This type of
automation is an exciting direction for the world to be moving in and the
benefits it brings to businesses are huge.
Optimizing Processes
A great example of a traditionally non-networked company using IoT to make
smarter decisions is Rolls-Royce. By integrating networked sensors into their
aircraft engines, Rolls-Royce can send engine data back to monitoring
stations on the ground and stay ahead of the curve on everything from
performance to malfunctions. In a nutshell, they've created their own ver... (more)

Feb. 12, 2017 01:15 AM EST Reads: 8,634 | By Elizabeth White  While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input. In order to actively drive cultural evolution, organizations must make substantial organizational and process changes, and adopt new technologies, to encourage a DevOps culture. Moderated by Andi Mann, panelists discussed how to balance these three pillars of DevOps, where to focus attention (and resources), where organizations might slip up with the wrong focus, how to manage change and risk in all three areas, what is possible and what is not, where to start, and especially how new structures, processes, and technologies can help drive a new DevOps culture. Feb. 12, 2017 01:00 AM EST Reads: 4,881 | By Pat Romanski  All organizations that did not originate this moment have a pre-existing culture as well as legacy technology and processes that can be more or less amenable to DevOps implementation. That organizational culture is influenced by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched interests usually throw a wrench in the works because of misaligned incentives.

Feb. 11, 2017 03:15 PM EST Reads: 1,660 | By Liz McMillan  Tricky charts and visually deceptive graphs often make a case for the impact IT performance has on business. The debate isn't around the obvious; of course, IT performance metrics like website load time influence business metrics such as conversions and revenue. Rather, this presentation will explore various data analysis concepts to understand how, and how not to, assert such correlations.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Leo Vasiliou, Director of Web Performance Engineering at Catchpoint Systems, will review data analysis basics, and then move into some data-to-actionable information concepts. Afterward, YOU decide whether to use your newfound knowledge for good or evil.

Feb. 11, 2017 01:30 PM EST Reads: 1,796 | By Elizabeth White  The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, demonstrated how to move beyond today's coding paradigm and share the must-have mindsets for removing complexity from the development process, accelerate application delivery times, and ensure that developers will become heroes (not bottlenecks) in the IoT revolution.

Feb. 11, 2017 12:30 PM EST Reads: 1,361 | By Elizabeth White  In his keynote at 19th Cloud Expo, Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO of Rancher Labs, discussed the technological advances and new business opportunities created by the rapid adoption of containers. With the success of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and various open source technologies used to build private clouds, cloud computing has become an essential component of IT strategy. However, users continue to face challenges in implementing clouds, as older technologies evolve and newer ones like Docker containers gain prominence. He explored these challenges and how to address them, while considering how containers will influence the direction of cloud computing. Feb. 11, 2017 12:15 PM EST Reads: 6,534 | By Elizabeth White  DevOps and microservices are permeating software engineering teams broadly, whether these teams are in pure software shops but happen to run a business, such Uber and Airbnb, or in companies that rely heavily on software to run more traditional business, such as financial firms or high-end manufacturers. Microservices and DevOps have created software development and therefore business speed and agility benefits, but they have also created problems; specifically, they have created software security issues.

In September 2014, Apple made encryption default with the introduction of the iPhone 6. Then, in February 2016, a Los Angeles judge issued an order to Apple to help break into the encrypted iPhone belonging to a terrorist involved in a mass shooting. Apple had used some of the strongest encryption technologies and practices to protect its users and their data. The encryption technology did not discriminate between lawful and unlawful users. While there were many sides to this issue, it surfaced ...
We call it DevOps but much of the time there’s a lot more discussion about the needs and concerns of developers than there is about other groups. There’s a focus on improved and less isolated developer workflows. There are many discussions around collaboration, continuous integration and delivery, issue tracking, source code control, code review, IDEs, and xPaaS – and all the tools that enable those things. Changes in developer practices may come up – such as developers taking ownership of code ...
Thanks to Docker and the DevOps revolution, microservices have emerged as the new way to build and deploy applications — and there are plenty of great reasons to embrace the microservices trend.
If you are going to adopt microservices, you also have to understand that microservice architectures have many moving parts. When it comes to incident management, this presents an important difference between microservices and monolithic architectures. More moving parts mean more complexity to monitor a...
Once again, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new year. And many would say, not a moment too soon. With a series of tumultuous elections around the world and an unusual number of celebrity passings, it's been a rough year. But there is at least one bright spot from 2016: Intellyx's digital transformation prognostications were close to spot on! As is our tradition, each year we review last year's predictions and make all new fresh ones! This year, it is my turn to review Jason's 2016 predictions...
Cyberthreats have become more sophisticated over the years, improving methods to take advantage of software information and even completely shut down systems to hold data ransom. As a result, developers and testers must be able to ensure that their programs have the necessary protections in place to prevent attacks and keep business information safe. Here are a few tips to help teams address security measures during testing.
Look at how far we’ve come. Just seven decades ago, the word “computer” referred to someone in an office with a pile of charts and a slide rule. Then ENIAC, the first electronic computer, appeared. It was followed quickly by the Commodore 64 personal computer and later, the iPhone. Today, the Sunway TaihuLight crunches data by combining 10,649,600 cores and performing 93 quadrillion floating point operations every second. Where will we be in another seven decades?
Thanks to Docker, it becomes very easy to leverage containers to build, ship, and run any Linux application on any kind of infrastructure. Docker is particularly helpful for microservice architectures because their successful implementation relies on a fast, efficient deployment mechanism – which is precisely one of the features of Docker. Microservice architectures are therefore becoming more popular, and are increasingly seen as an interesting option even for smaller projects, instead of being...
JavaScript redefined web applications ushering in a new era of dynamic websites with fluid responsive designs. It has gained a strong following among developers, popular libraries and frameworks like JQuery and Angular JS are all built with JavaScript. The endless design possibilities that JavaScript provides coupled with the numerous libraries available today makes it an indispensable part of web application development.
The word—or rather, the contraction—is simple: DevOps. But DevOps, which refers to the increased communication and collaboration between development and IT operations, is an ever-changing, sometimes complicated term. While “dev” and “ops” used to be siloed into separate philosophies, practices, tools, and work flows, they’re merging into one. The result? A more efficient, reliable process and product.
Serverless is considered the successor to containers. And while it’s heavily promoted as the next great thing, it’s not the best fit for every use case. Understanding the pitfalls and disadvantages of serverless will make it much easier to identify use cases that are a good fit. This post offers some technology perspectives on the maturity of serverless today.
First, note how we use the word serverless here. Serverless is a combination of “Function as a Service” (FaaS) and “Platform as a Servic...
Ed was demoralized. He had just heard a speaker who would change his life. He knew he needed to change, and he knew what the end goal was. He just didn't know how to get there. He needed fresh air. He needed endorphins. What better way to do that than go on a 6-hour run through some of the seedier neighborhoods of Vegas to the edge of the desert.
Another year has come and gone, and many of us are reflecting on the past and looking ahead to see how we can best prepare for the future. Let’s see what Gartner has to say about it in terms of the application development world. As last year was beginning to wind down, the research firm published the Predicts 2017: Application Development report authored by analysts Mike West, Maritess Sobejana, Joachim Herschmann, and Keith James Mann. It includes key findings in application development that wi...
Last week, I tried to book a hotel for an upcoming business trip. I logged into the travel portal entered the city and dates of travel and clicked search. Then, I waited and waited and waited and waited, yet nothing happened. I tried again; same results. At this point, I gave up and moved onto other tasks, conceding to the fact that I would have to come back and try again later. If this had been for personal travel, I would have moved onto another site to book my room and a sale would have been ...
