The journey to Continuous Automation - Chef Automate

This presentation was done at Journee Agile in Liege. It explains how technical capabilities are an important part of any transformation. Without tech capabilities you will have a hard time to release, and a hard time to inspect and adapt.

This ITIL® Release, Control and Validation will enables you to master the key ITIL processes needed to properly plan for service transitions; assess changes; build, test and deploy releases

Tim Buntel & Sunil Mavadia discuss the following in this one-hour webinar: What containers and microservices mean for existing software delivery processes. Important considerations for successful adoption of containers and microservice architectures as part of the enterprise release pipeline. How to ensure that security, compliance and governance standards are maintained when you finally do introduce them.

This document provides an overview of DevOps success including: 1) High-performing IT organizations that practice DevOps are able to deploy code more frequently, have faster lead times, and higher change success rates, leading to increased reliability, productivity, and market growth. 2) Organizations should align incentives, form cross-functional teams, and automate workflows to reduce manual work and cycle times for better visibility and job satisfaction. 3) Key DevOps practices include continuous integration, version control, and continuous delivery across all technologies to reduce deployment pain and increase deployment frequency. 4) When starting a DevOps transformation, companies should establish a single source of truth, standardize processes, iterate on those processes, and

More and more companies worldwide are excited about DevOps and the many potential benefits of embarking on a DevOps transformation. The challenge many of them are having, however, is figuring out where to begin and how to scale DevOps practices over time. These challenges can be especially daunting in large enterprises. In this webinar we will discuss a maturity model for framing your transformation, then focus on analyzing your deployment pipeline and identify existing inefficiencies in software development and deployment.

The document discusses achieving continuous visibility across the DevOps lifecycle. It argues that local optimizations and lack of integration between tools has led to manual processes that slow down delivery. It promotes the use of integration patterns and infrastructure to provide end-to-end visibility by connecting tools across planning, development, testing and operations. This allows teams to see dependencies, impacts, quality status and automate deployment for less variance and faster delivery.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a set of principles, practices, and organizational constructs that seek to balance the reliability of a service with the need to continually deliver new features. An error budget is the primary construct used to help balance these seemingly competing goals. This is an introduction to error budgets and their components: service level indicators (SLIs) and service level objectives (SLOs). We will discuss the art of creating and implementing SLOs. Attendees will be able to: • Describe the key concepts, namely, Error Budget, Service Level Indicator (SLIs), and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) • Recommend actions to take when the error budget is over consumed • Recommend actions to take when excess error budget remains In the spirit of DevOps, Error Budgets and SLOs work best when they are agreed to in collaboration with many different constituents across the business. As such, this presentation is appropriate for: • Product Owners and Product Managers • Business decision makers • Developers • Operators • And anyone else interested in building and operating services that deliver business and customer value.

Continuous Delivery presents a compelling vision of builds that are automatically deployed and tested until ready for production. Most teams aren't there yet. Some never want to go that far. Others want to push the envelope further. This deck presents a model for scoring yourself on the continuum and examples of how companies can decide what parts of CD to adopt first, later and not at all.

Tech Mahindra and CollabNet have worked together on a number of mission-critical projects, and over the course of their partnership have developed unique expertise in lifecycle, development-to-production metrics. Gain an understanding not only of what metrics are important, but also practical approaches to building reports and dashboards that deliver a single-pane view of all your delivery pipelines across the enterprise. Participants will learn: KPI’s of end-to-end dashboard driven development and delivery Best practices for metrics in Agile / DevOps environments Role of technology frameworks for integrated planning and reporting

We live in the Digital Age and IT delivery needs to get faster and faster...I presented this point of view at the Accenture Test Symposium in Australia in 2015.

More and more organizations are turning to DevOps as a way of working together to improve the efficiency and quality of software delivery and start adding more value to the business. But what exactly is DevOps and what does it mean for you and your organization? Join Microsoft Data Platform MVP Kendra Little to discover: • What is DevOps and what benefits can it offer your organization? • Who in your organization should be involved in DevOps? • Why should your organization adopt DevOps? • How can your organization start implementing DevOps?

WhiteHedge Technologies is a global company with over 100 employees that provides agile product development and DevOps services. It discusses how traditional IT models are not designed for today's business needs and how DevOps can help through improved communication, collaboration, and integration between development and operations. DevOps allows for more frequent releases, improved quality, and better cooperation compared to traditional models. The document provides an overview of DevOps benefits and describes how DevOps is not just about automation or increased deployments but enabling continuous improvement and efficient delivery of production-ready code.

The increasing adoption of DevOps principles has led to greater integration between software development (both application and software engineering) and IT operations (both systems administration and infrastructure). In this online seminar, we will explore the DevOps approaches

The capabilities provided by today’s Application Release Automation (ARA) tools have advanced exponentially in recent years. Despite these advancements, the enterprise demands new requirements that go beyond application change to automate even more of the release process. The evolving definition of ARA now includes areas that were previously left unaddressed, such as the deployment of database changes and the orchestration of the entire release process. In this on-demand webinar, learn how Datical and XebiaLabs are working together to address the changing needs of the enterprise through the evolution of ARA.

This document discusses using goal-based key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive DevOps results and demonstrate return on investment (ROI). It notes that as DevOps adoption expands within organizations, challenges arise around fully understanding impacts, making data-driven decisions, and clearly showing ROI. The document recommends unifying data from tools to provide a holistic view, using goal-based KPIs to guide improvement efforts, and leveraging data to predict issues and demonstrate success. A live demo of the XebiaLabs DevOps intelligence platform is also advertised.
