DevOps on the AWS Cloud
Brian Knotts As Chief Scientist & SVP, Applied Research at Ellucian, Brian works with product management and IT services to assure that solutions are aligned with common technology architectures and processes. By designing a global architecture to support our products and services, Brian and his team help Ellucian bring the right solutions to market faster and help all of our customers build a better unified digital campus. Sri Vasireddy is a leader in cloud computing security, solution architecture, and investment management. He has advised several government agencies and commercial organizations about their cloud computing strategies involving cloud migration, optimization, security, and compliance. Early involvement with federal cloud computing initiatives led him to be the first solutions and security architect on the AWS worldwide public sector team. Since leaving AWS, he has worked closely with financial services and public sector customers, such as Medicaid, to secure their AWS environments. Speakers Michael Ruiz Mike Ruiz is an AWS Solutions Architect with more than 20 years of industry experience spanning healthcare, enterprise, public sector, hybrid cloud, and extreme scale mobile/gaming verticals. Mike is a passionate technologist who currently focuses his energies on the technical enablement of AWS partner network members ranging from garage based startups to Fortune 100 companies, driving higher quality solution delivery and superior customer experiences through the use of AWS Cloud technologies.
What is DevOps?
“DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity” https://aws.amazon.com/devops/
DevOps is AWS CodeCommit Store Code in Private Git Repositories AWS CodeDeploy Automate Code Deployments AWS CodePipeline Release Software using Continuous Delivery
DevOps is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Amazon EC2 – Virtual Server Hosting Amazon EC2 Container Service Amazon ECS – Docker Management AWS Elastic Beanstalk Deploy and Manage Web Applications in the AWS Cloud
DevOps is Amazon API Gateway Secure API’s at any scale AWS Lambda Deploy and scale web applications and services Amazon CloudFront Global Content Delivery Network (CDN)
DevOps is AWS Config Resource Inventory, Configuration History and Change Notification AWS CloudTrail User activity and AWS API call recording Amazon CloudWatch Monitoring, alarms, and dashboards
…and more than 40 other services.

DevOps Facilitates Measurement and Visualization  Automates build, test, and deployment across environments  Helps measure and visualize throughput and stability
DevOps Measures  Throughput Measures – Deployment Frequency – How frequently organization deploys code – Deployment Lead Time - Time required for changes to go from “code committed” to code successfully running in production.  Stability Measures – Mean time to recover (MTTR) -Time required to restore service when a service incident occurs (e.g., unplanned outage, service impairment, etc.). High-performing IT organizations deploy 30x more frequently with 200x shorter lead times; they have 60x fewer failures and recover 168x faster. Source: Puppet Labs - 2015 State of DevOps Report
Qualities of High Performing Orgs  High performing organizations such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix demonstrate: – Reliability – Stability – Security – Customer responsiveness Processes and techniques followed by these organizations have come to be known as DevOps Source: The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps and Helping Your Business Win

DevOps Myths  DevOps Replaces Agile  DevOps Replaces ITIL  DevOps Means NoOps  DevOps is Only for Open Source Software  DevOps is Just Infrastructure as Code or Automation  DevOps is only for Startups and Unicorns
Successful DevOps Framework Comprehensive, fast and reliable test and deployment automation with continuous integration Infrastructure as code based development in small increments that focus on convergence to desired end-state Infrastructure code and app and system configuration in version control Together the factors on left enable continuous delivery with improved innovation, which lead to Reduced Work in Process (WIP) Higher levels of IT performance (higher throughput and stability) Lower change fail rates Higher levels of org performance (productivity, customer satisfaction, and profitability) Source: Puppet Labs - 2015 State of DevOps Report

DevOps Transformation Benefits Before DevOps Transformation After DevOps Transformation Product teams practicing continuous integration not continuous deployment Product teams leverage DevOps in their SDLC Manual deployment processes that took days/months Automated deployment process that takes minutes Inconsistent deployment cycles that depend on tribal knowledge, guess work and persistence (prone to error) Consistent deployment cycles that leverages knowledge codified as jobs Deployments would require teams from multiple locations Deployments depend upon code repositories and Jobs executed on a pipeline
