DevOps and Continuous Delivery: Successful Adoption, 18 September 2014, Chicago

Published 10 Jun 2014

Adopting a new capability requires a plan that includes people, process, and technology. Although the name DevOps suggests development- and operations-based way of working, DevOps is an enterprise capability that includes stakeholders, business owners, architecture, design, development, quality assurance (QA), operations, security, partners, and suppliers. Excluding any stakeholder will lead to incomplete implementation of DevOps.

Changes need to be made, but it is difficult to go against the usual flow and investments too are also required. But before you consider adopting new technology and methods, consider the challenges within your organization that that needs addressing. The expert practitioners and thought leaders at this DevOps Summit will give help you to develop your business case and build the foundation towards getting significant return on investment.

Upcoming Webinars:

Designing Software to enable DevOps and Continuous Delivery Practices
Wed, Aug 13, 2014 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM EDT

Background:
The Agile movement strives to shorten feedback cycle time for software development. Recent movements in Continuous Delivery and DevOps extend this focus to deployment and operations with a focus on getting quality software deployed to the end user more quickly and confidently. There is a lot of talk about streamlining the deployment pipeline focused on process analysis; however, we suggest design of the software to be deployed that can also be an enabler, or inhibitor, for achieving deployment goals. For example, poorly designed component dependencies may make it difficult to complete continuous integration builds within target threshold (e.g., 10 minute rule of thumb) or lack of interfaces in component design can limit ability to automate tests. In this webinar, we describe an approach for designing with deployability in mind. This is a topic which we will cover in greater depth in an upcoming pre-conference hands-on tutorial on September 17th in Chicago to be held with the DevOps Summit: DevOps & Continuous Delivery: Successful Adoption (18th September)

Presenter:
Stephany Bellomo a senior member of the technical staff at Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI). Stephany received her Master's degree in Software Engineering in 1997 and spent several years as a software developer/technical lead for companies such as Intuit, Verisign and Lockheed Martin before joining the SEI. While at the SEI has had the privilege of working with a wide variety of government and DoD organizations such as Army, DHS, Veterans Affairs and various Intelligence Community Agencies. Current interests include research in Incremental Software Development. She also has interest in architectural implications of DevOps and Continuous Integration/Delivery.

Blog Post: What Is This Devops Thing, Anyway?

In the last few months, a movement has begun to take shape. It's a movement of people who think it's time for change in the IT industry - time to stop wasting money, time to start delivering great software, and building systems that scale and last. This movement is being called Devops. But what is Devops? Where did it come from? And what can it achieve? read more...
