There are misconceptions and misunderstandings of what a virtual Test-Dev environment offers; even more so when determining how to get there. Management and control are at the top of the list. Through this presentation we will discuss: • The current asymmetrical state of DevOps • How to achieve symmetry within DevOps • The Impact of having greater control over DevOps’s environmentals • DevOps’s automation • How to pull off DevOps in a hybrid cloud environment

Net3 Technology: 5 step guide to DevOps in the Cloud
- 1. 5 STEP GUIDE TO DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS ('DEVOPS') IN THE CLOUD SYMMETRY DEVOPS™ B Y N E T 3 T E C H N O L O G Y
- 2. INTRODUCTION Picture a perfect world where your enterprise can seamlessly interconnect Dev, test and other environments, both locally and distributed, at machine and data levels. Developers can fence their Test-Dev networks to be isolated and confidently secure. No longer forced to use fragmented data sets and configurations due to constrained storage resources – bringing applications to market are virtually seamless since they are fully replicated in the Test-Dev environment. And to top it off, businesses have the equipment, storage real estate and staff to cover it at a cost that improves the bottom lines. In the real world today, most companies are not like the picture above.

- 4. DEFINITIONS DevOps – This is a software development method that is based on the idea of collaboration, cooperation, and communication between a team of software developers and other arms of an IT organization within an enterprise. Asymmetry – Something that is comprised of unequal parts, having no balance, and uneven in distribution.
- 5. 01 THE CURRENT ASYMMETRICAL STATE IN DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS (AKA "DEVOPS") So what is the goal of DevOps? This is a bit of many-headed hydra but for now, we are going to cull this down to the simplest concept of why we are in business: to make money. How does DevOps help us accomplish this simple but lofty goal? It begins by getting products to market faster with fewer issues to have to fix.
- 6. In order to do this, the following has to happen: This seems pretty straightforward except that DevOps teams find themselves in a constant state of flux due to the environment they work in: an asymmetric environment. The Asymmetric environment is: Deployment frequency must be improved. There has to be a lower failure rate in new releases. The time between fixes has to be reduced. Faster mean time to recovery when things go wrong. Substandard, disparate networks leaving the high probability that defects will be found during live production. Having a lag time between production data needed and data actually received. Having a SDLC that is always a few revisions behind of what should be current. Money lost due to lack of attention DevOps needs in order to streamline production.
- 7. DevOps should be managed as an asset for the business – not viewed as a place to reduce to scale. Emulating DevOps environments safely and efficiently is complex, but it’s vital to successful production. Maximizing efficiency, predictability, security, and the operational processes have to be maintained. What we are looking for are continuous flows, automation, and tight feedback loops. It also helps when the DevOps team is both self-reliant and self-confidant.
- 8. 02 HOW TO ACHIEVE SYMMETRY WITHIN DEVOPS So how do you get a symmetric environment when you don’t have the money for another build out? How do you achieve a symmetric environment when all you have time for is to “code for the exceptions” and hope for the best when it’s time for the rollout? Moving from an asymmetric to symmetric environment takes planning and expertise. Typically, DevOps teams either don’t have the time to take on such a huge project nor do they have the sophistication and expertise in-house to execute it. Because of these two large factors, Net3 Technology has developed Symmetry DevOps ™ powered by Palmetto Virtual Data Center (PvDC) to streamline dev to production and improve business practices.
- 9. Symmetry DevOps ™ is a development method that is specifically designed to complement and enhance existing SDLC (Software/System Development Lifecycle) practices where they exist, and provide a robust and scalable platform where nothing exists currently. With Symmetry DevOps ™, the entire production environment is replicated or cloned. This means: Identical production settings/configurations while maintaining logical separation for Dev/Test/etc. needs. Data and configuration can easily flow from one environment to another, maintaining quality and consistency in all environments through out the process. Developer productivity is enhanced by removing need to code for separate environments that are not in production. Easily automate the controlled flow of data/configurations from environment to environment.
- 10. Wrapping these processes in PvDC allows the SDLC to be in continuous flow. Information from each DevOps group is synced much more rapidly and completely than ever before, which provides more opportunity for maximizing cooperation between groups. Symmetry DevOps ™ Benefits include: Consistent build process resulting in simplified approach and the reduced possibility for human error. Better management and control over environments (Operating Systems, Patch levels between development phases, computing, network). Achieve automation for rapid deployment and delta change between each deployment phase. Reduced time for build deployments for all environments. Increased code reliability in all environments.
- 11. 03 THE IMPACT OF HAVING GREATER CONTROL OVER DEVOPS’ ENVIRONMENTALS Don’t let the status-quo fool you to think that Cloud DevOps’ management and control is out of your hands. With Symmetry DevOps™ you have the ability to take control and be more productive, organized and efficient like never before.
- 12. Here are the Top 10 reasons why more control with Symmetry DevOps™ is Empowering On-demand access with PvDc’s DevOps app Automization tailored to your business needs Complex data efficiently and effectively organized to your liking Enhanced maintainability of Operational Processes Predictive Capabilities More frequent production deployments Faster deployment lead times Lower failure rates Faster restoration and sync times Control over security
- 13. 04SYMMETRY DEVOPS™ AUTOMATION: CONSISTENT, CONTINUOUS AND CONSTANT Without the symmetric environment, Test-Dev is very convoluted. It’s disjointed. With coding for the exceptions as the rule, the full System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is disjointed as well. It takes a lot of time and energy to run applications through an asymmetric environment with all its bits and pieces.
- 14. Symmetry DevOps™ however, makes things much easier and smoother when it comes to running and testing applications in the Test-Dev environment. Automation within Symmetry DevOps™ provides: Symmetry DevOps provides opportunities for businesses to focus on enhancing their production. Less time is dedicated to fixing bugs and putting out fires, which means more time can be spent focusing on business impacting dev decisions. Symmetry DevOps™ makes it all possible. Net3 Technology is dedicated to having high performance professionals walk you through exactly what you want and need when it comes to implementing your Test-Dev environment in the cloud.

- 15. HOW TO PULL OFF DEVOPS IN A HYBRID ENVIRONMENT 05 We have seen Symmetry DevOps™ and it’s benefits from a bird’s eye view. Now it’s time to get down to the details and make that decision of whether or not moving your DevOps to a hybrid cloud is worth doing. Not all Clouds are built equal and not all applications are ready to move to the Cloud, so how do you decide?
- 16. The consultative approach that N3T provides is truly a partnership where you’re not left hanging dry once the check has cleared. N3T built from scratch Symmetry DevOps™ so that every customer can build the unique cloud environment they need. N3T also works with multiple technology companies who integrate with Symmetry DevOps™ for successful hybrid deployments. We emphasize the white glove approach because we feel it is the best way to go if you want a successful cloud implementation.
- 17. Bottom line: Price, quality, and service are all factors that go into our decision- making process whether we realize it or not and N3T’s Symmetry DevOps™ hits the mark on all three. N3T is ahead of the curve with its innovative technology, qualified engineers and developers with years of service supporting the sales team. We leave no room for your move to the cloud to fail.
