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

The State of DevOps at the Start of 2017
By Reanna Miranda
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.
Though the basics aren’t exactly new, the DevOps world is still trying to
figure out how it will evolve and integrate into already established
infrastructures. Whether you head a company that relies heavily on DevOps or
you’re just now dipping your toes into the DevOps pond, there’s plenty to
learn—because this movement and culture are anything but set in stone. To
get a better feel for what’s in store for DevO... (more)
2016 has been an amazing year for Docker and the container industry. We had
3 major releases of Docker engine this year , and tremendous increase in
usage. The community has been following along and contributing amazing Docker
resources to help you learn and get hands-on experience. Here's some of the

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in
enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and
collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for
long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.
DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.

This post is based on my recent presentation at DevOps Summit Silicon Valley
in November 2016. You can see the entire presentation here.
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 and pulling pager duty.
We also talk about culture a great deal in the context of developers and
DevOps. About touchy-feely topics like empathy, trust, learning, cooperation,
and responsibility. It can all be a bit kumbaya.
What about the O... (more)
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.
In this DevOps Summit Power Panel - moderated by Andi Mann, founder of
Sageable - Shannon Williams, co-founder of Rancher Labs; Haseeb Budhani,
co-founder and CEO of Soha; and Dalibor Siroky, Director and co-founder at
Plutora; 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,

Culture: Change or Die
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.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit 20th Cloud Expo, Greg Bledsoe, a managing
consultant at Accenture, will discuss an algorithmic method that even someone
with no positional power who desires to be an agent of change can implement
to achieve cultural transformation and smooth the transition to overcome

Feb. 11, 2017 11:00 PM EST Reads: 2,198 | By PagerDuty Blog  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...

As we enter the final week before the 19th International Cloud Expo | @ThingsExpo in Santa Clara, CA, it's time for me to reflect on six big topics that will be important during the show. Hybrid Cloud: This general-purpose term seems to provide a comfort zone for many enterprise IT managers. It sounds reassuring to be able to work with one of the major public-cloud providers like AWS or Microsoft Azure while still maintaining an on-site presence.
Docker containers have brought great opportunities to shorten the deployment process through continuous integration and the delivery of applications and microservices. This applies equally to enterprise data centers as well as the cloud. In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jari Kolehmainen, founder and CTO of Kontena, will discuss solutions and benefits of a deeply integrated deployment pipeline using technologies such as container management platforms, Docker containers, and the drone.io Cl tool. He also will demonstrate deployment of a CI/CD pipeline using container management, as well as sho...
Synthetic monitoring is hardly a new technology. It’s been around almost as long as the commercial World Wide Web has. But the importance of monitoring the performance and availability of a web application by simulating users’ interactions with that application, from around the globe, has never been more important. We’ve seen prominent vendors in the broad APM space add this technology with new development or partnerships just in the last 18 months.
The emerging Internet of Everything creates tremendous new opportunities for customer engagement and business model innovation. However, enterprises must overcome a number of critical challenges to bring these new solutions to market. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Michael Martin, CTO/CIO at nfrastructure, outlined these key challenges and recommended approaches for overcoming them to achieve speed and agility in the design, development and implementation of Internet of Everything solutions within your organization.
True Story. Over the past few years, Fannie Mae transformed the way in which they delivered software. Deploys increased from 1,200/month to 15,000/month. At the same time, productivity increased by 28% while reducing costs by 30%. But, how did they do it? During the All Day DevOps conference, over 13,500 practitioners from around the world to learn from their peers in the industry. Barry Snyder, Senior Manager of DevOps at Fannie Mae, was one of 57 practitioners who shared his real world journey through his enterprise transformation.
DevOps has often been described in terms of CAMS: Culture, Automation, Measuring, Sharing. While we’ve seen a lot of focus on the “A” and even on the “M”, there are very few examples of why the “C" is equally important in the DevOps equation.
In her session at @DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, of F5 Networks, explored HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 along with Microservices to illustrate why a collaborative culture between Dev, Ops, and the Network is critical to ensuring success.
You often hear the two titles of "DevOps" and "Immutable Infrastructure" used independently. In his session at DevOps Summit, John Willis, Technical Evangelist for Docker, covered the union between the two topics and why this is important. He provided an overview of Immutable Infrastructure then showed how an Immutable Continuous Delivery pipeline can be applied as a best practice for "DevOps." He ended the session with some interesting case study examples.
