Gartner EA Architecting for DevOps and Hybrid Cloud

Editor's Notes

1. There are a number of emerging technologies that are causing businesses to look at changes needed in their business models. They are reacting to the digital disruptors by driving transformation within their business, largely around disruptive technologies like Mobile, leveraging market shifts such as Cloud and Analytics. Exploiting Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud is essential in creating competitive advantage in a digital business. This is significant, since current technology trends have the potential to change industry landscapes by offering entirely new ways for businesses to differentiate themselves. 2.5 billion GB of data are generated every day: IBM annual report (2013). Security: Cloud computing has become mainstream and is seen as the approach to redefining the economics of IT. But there are challenges. Security and availability of cloud services is still a key concern. Mobile malware is a massively increasing threat as criminals transfer their attention from PCs to mobile devices. Analytics: $226B – Fighting Fraud in Healthcare”, The Aberdeen Group, March 2014. +7.6% in customer lifetime value: “Customer Engagement Analytics: How To Use Data To Create (and Keep) Happy Customers”, The Aberdeen Group, May 2014. Mobile : 35% transaction growth – IBM Institute for Business Value and Oxford Economics.
2. Speaking Points: We’re not speaking to the words on the slide….This is a digital experience example: Imagine a scenario where a driver gets in an accident. Many of us have been there and we know this is a process the involves many companies working in harmony. My insurance firm, the adjuster, the body shop, the tow truck driver. Yet, we assume the insurance firm owns the experience. Our first call is to the insurance company who has us gather some information. A tow truck is dispatched, but doesn’t arrive within an hour. Who do I call? Not the tow truck company. I call my insurance company to ask where is the tow truck? So, by building out an ecosystem of partners built on secure APIs, I build a new digital experience that increases value to my consumer AND to my partners. Imagine the digital experience where all of these are integrated. A maps app that shows me where the tow truck driver is en route. Let’s me accept or negotiate the adjuster’s claim. I can see images of the repair as it happens. All powered by the new, digital supply chain.
3. ADI will analyze and visualize trend information on multiple metrics including application age, usage, code coverage, complexity, and performance (today, this is virtually impossible to do) ADI will improve quality through optimized test execution, assisting automated code review and driving automated provisioning of test environments (today, this process is disruptive and expensive ....) ADI will provide a virtual pulse-taking of application and process health checks (today this is based on guess-work .....) ADI makes information accessible through a simple and intuitive interface (today this information is not available for intelligent and responsive decision making) Release 1.0 Enable optimization of your DevOps Testing through Application Delivery Intelligence (ADI) Testing is a major issue for development organizations Test load is increasing because of the increased pace of change demanded by the business To support this organizations are looking to DevOps - modern development processes, practices and tools this inevitably means more testing (lean, agile, “Shift Left”…… all increase the test burden for developers.) up to 3 times more than traditional waterfall development ADI helps all parts of the development organization be more effective with their testing efforts Developers and Testers can better understand what to test. Testers can track the effectiveness of their test coverage. Managers can monitor the effect of wider changes such as test automation. ADI helps all users identify potential issues with the testing regime and react sooner than has been possible before including Coverage black spots Overlapping Test selection Decline in coverage ……
4. HIDDEN SLIDE from Hayden’s prez, include for customer upload. SAFe Support in RTC RTC V6.0 provides a process template to support SAFe Programs and Teams based on V3.0 of the SAFe framework. RTC 6.0.1 Introduced support for Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 3.0 Agile works – Nothing beats an Agile team except a team of Agile teams Comprehensive templates and predefined reports allow SAFe to be rapidly deployed across the Enterprise SAFe - What’s in it for me ….. Manages Scale : Orchestration of software development and delivery across many multi-disciplinary teams and involving coordinated changes in several strategic products Manages Complexity: Design, development and delivery of major cross-cutting initiatives simultaneously and Management of value delivery over multiple projects Helps Adjust to Feedback : Improves the ability to quickly and easily make trade-offs across the portfolio to maximize the delivery of value to the business Improves Delivery Predictability : Increased efficiency, effectiveness and visibility And we aren’t finished RTC 6.0.1 includes a preview of SAFe® 4.0 which extends SAFe® outside of the software arena into Systems But not all teams are Agile and so RTC 6.0.1 also provides the quick-planning capabilities to non-agile teams To complement all this RTC 6.0.1 introduced usability and performance improvements to core processes like scanning, building, and planning to ensure development tasks can be undertaken efficiently and effectively including Multi-threaded build for Enterprise customers 30% faster scanning improves overall build, promotion and deployment performance Build subsets in the ISPF client for the first time
