Agile software projects challenges
Software development tooling
• Getting complex
• Expensive to deploy and maintain
Team is agile, infrastructure is not
• Provisionning delays
• Architecture is evolving along with the
business requirements changes
Agile Product definition
• Iterative requires strong collaboration
• Sometimes distributed team
• Frequent tests run

Cloud basics
SAASPAASIAAS

Cloud attributes
• Self-service & rapid provisionning
• Pay per use
• Rapid elasticity: illusion of infinite
capacity
• Network based, location
independence
• Cloud APIs
• Measured service, SLAs
Cloud and Agile software projects
Self-organizing teams •
Continuous attention to technical •
excellence and good design--
Working software is delivered •
frequently (weeks rather than--
months)--
Regular adaptation to changing •
circumstances--
Welcome changing requirements •
even late in development--
Agile principles

Leverage Saas for software build
• Description: Provision a software factory in the cloud
• Pro:
• Lead time, you have a software factory within minutes
• Try it with your credit card, show the benefits.
• Con
• Watch for confidentiality issues if your app is sensitive.
Scenario 1: develop in the cloud
• Description: Integrate SAAS tools into your on-premise software factory
• Pro:
• Some tools enables real-time collaboration for remote teams while most
products available for private installation don’t.
• Tools remains up-to-date and patched.
• Con
• Assess integration costs and lock-in risk versus in house deployment
Scenario 2: integrate cloud/web SAAS solutions
Leverage the SaaS ecosystem can speed up agile teams bootstrap, and give access to
best in class tools during the build phase.

Case study : Cross browser testing
• Currently manually testing my
web product on various
browsers, both desktop and
mobile
• http://www.gatewickairport.co
m/
• Need to automatically run
automated tests on multiple
browsers
Context
• Leverage Sauce labs offer !
• Features: systematic video
recording, debugging tools.
tunnelled accesses to private
servers

• watch logs
• watch metrics

Iaas or Paas
Consider IAAS if you have Consider PAAS if you have
Technology
Atypical/specific needs
(protocols, language, middlewares)
Standardized software stack and
programming model
• An existing wide technical
expertise (from build, qa, run) to
manage the whole stack
• A capacity to select, integrate,
maintain many individual
heterogeneous components
Skills
A preference for reduced
complexity and a focus customer
needs rather than tech plumbing
Team
A team with tight collaboration
among dev and ops withshared
ownership of infrastructure
automation
A dev oriented team with few
competencies across the full
stack
Benefit
Risk Iaas services lock-in
Effort to maintain platform
Paas platform lock-in
Freedom, good control on platform
Productivity,
Time to market

Cloud architecture
• Design for failure , for scalability ,
hence stateless
• No local data on servers, servers
storage is ephemeral => move all
state to services
• Data: cipher you “critical” data
when running in the cloud: HTTPS,
ciphered payload (CPU is not
expensive)
• Separate read and writes services
(CQRS pattern)
• Hybrid patterns
• Cloud overflow
• Web UI in the cloud, Core web
services on premise
Cloud lock-in
• Encapsulate API usage of external
services
• Balance usage of added value
services versus lock-in.
Automation: use the maximum of
multicloud APIs: jclouds, fog,
libcloud,
Developing and running: The key points
20 Nov 2014 14Conclusion

• Conclusion: Try it during build or run
• Questions ?
• ROTI (Return on time invested)
– don’t forget to give your feedback
• Slides to be shared, check out our twitter accounts
• Let’s meet tomorrow at Agile Innovation
• Share your own cloud adoption experience #AG14 #cloud

Public / Hybrid / Private infrastructure
• Controlable model but more
integration work required
• Private for dev and public
for run (or the opposite!)
• Mixed run mode (private for
webservices and critical
data, cloud for front-end
and CDN)
• Overflow/bursting to Cloud
• Cost might not be that effective
if you’re using basic infra
(automation is key)
• Have to deal with
confidentiality and security
• Risk of lock-in
• Reversibility to
private/dedicated hosting
• Enable access to a large
ecosystem: monitoring, logs
PUBLIC
More mature and more
comprehensive
HYBRID
Take the best of both
worlds
• Significant investments and
maintenance costs
• Much restricted offering
• Products are still maturing for
basic offers (Iaas, Paas)
• Fewer products for
specialized services
(RDBMS, NoSql, Caches,
Logs, Analytics, BigData…)
PRIVATE
Deploy a IAAS of
PAAS framework on
your premises

team:
organization transformation: moves the lines
between dev and ops

Q&A: What about you?
What’s your experience so far ?
• Interactive part
– more audience survey: SMB vs large enterprise
– split according to survey results
– share your experience using your post-its and
organize them into clusters:
•challenges/issues (orange post-it)
•success/solutions (green post-its)

Cloud automation enables social coding
Automation with Cloud boosts opensource
reuse/sharing/social coding => more productive
e.g. netflix opensource components
distribution of opensource or cots as
AMIs/appliances/ docker images / paas apps
