This document discusses continuous delivery and DevOps. It begins by providing background on the speaker and his previous experience implementing continuous delivery. It then discusses the pillars of continuous delivery, including continuous integration, automated testing, and DevOps. Continuous integration involves frequent code check-ins and automated testing. Automated testing emphasizes testing software throughout development rather than after completion. DevOps aims to break down silos between teams and foster collaboration. The document argues these practices can help teams make decisions and get feedback faster to continuously improve products. Case studies from Netflix, HP, and others demonstrate how continuous delivery can reduce costs and cycle times. The ultimate goal is reaching a state where software can be deployed to production on demand without issues.
This document discusses DevOps practices at Trend Micro. It begins with an introduction of the author and his background. It then discusses why DevOps is important for Trend Micro's consumer products team, describing increased deployment frequency, stability, and productivity. The document defines DevOps as involving a culture of collaboration between development and operations teams. It emphasizes automating infrastructure provisioning and implementing a measurement and feedback culture. Quality is discussed as a key focus, with emphasis on testing earlier and enabling continuous quality. The document concludes that DevOps at Trend Micro involves applying CAMS principles: Culture, Automation, Measurement, and Sharing.
The idea behind DevOps is to demolish the wall between development and operations, and encourage more collaboration and accountability between both groups so that everyone feels responsible for the code no matter where it is in the software development lifecycle. For better understanding of DevOps, we have answered the 5Ws of DevOps.

Continuous Deployment To The Cloud With Spring Cloud Pipelines @WarsawCloudNa...Marcin Grzejszczak
“I have stopped counting how many times I’ve done this from scratch” - was one of the responses to the tweet about starting the project called Spring Cloud Pipelines. Every company sets up a pipeline to take code from your source control, through unit testing and integration testing, to production from scratch. Every company creates some sort of automation to deploy its applications to servers. Enough is enough - time to automate that and focus on delivering business value.
In this presentation, we’ll go through the contents of the Spring Cloud Pipelines project. We’ll start a new project for which we’ll have a deployment pipeline set up in no time. We’ll deploy to Cloud Foundry and check if our application is backward compatible so that we can roll it back on production.

This document discusses connecting pipelines across software delivery to address challenges from cloud adoption and increasing delivery speed. It identifies four "disconnects" that can disturb businesses: 1) CI/CD happening without visibility, 2) lack of tool integrations, 3) insufficient focus on security and operations, and 4) disconnect between business and IT delivery processes. The document advocates connecting CI/CD, tools, security/operations, and business/IT processes through approaches like integrating development tools into pipelines, embedding security checks in pipelines, and connecting business release planning to automated IT execution. This helps maximize the speed of business value delivery through DevOps and overcome challenges of scaling practices across large organizations.
This document discusses the benefits of continuous deployment and standardized deployment pipelines. It advocates for automating deployments to reduce errors and provide faster feedback. Integrating contract and integration tests into build pipelines allows failures to be detected early. Using approaches like Cloud Foundry and standardized tools allows deployments to different environments to be consistent. Contract tests catch integration issues during builds rather than later stages. Rollbacks should focus on rolling back the application rather than the database to simplify the process. Frequent, automated deployments and early testing are presented as best practices for deployment pipelines.
Perforce provides version control and collaboration software that enables continuous delivery. It can handle large files and datasets for industries like gaming, film, and chip design.

Modernizing on IBM Z Made Easier With Open Source SoftwareDevOps.com
In the past decade, IDC has seen IBM Z evolve first from a siloed platform to what they call a "connected" platform, and then to a "transformative" platform. This transition has been driven by IBM, by the IBM Z software vendors, like Rocket Software, and by businesses themselves.
IDC research shows that businesses that choose to modernize IBM Z achieve higher satisfaction than re-platformers and many are using open source software (OSS) in their modernization initiatives. Employing OSS makes it possible to crack the platform open and enable it to connect to the rest of the datacenter and the outside world. Join IDC guest speaker, Al Gillen and Peter Fandel as they take a deeper look at the value proposition associated with using commercially supported OSS in mission-critical environments, like IBM Z. In this webinar we’ll discuss:
How OSS can neutralize the disparity between seasoned IBM Z and emerging developers
The modernization initiatives that involve OSS
What to consider before bringing OSS to IBM Z
How Rocket Software is delivering commercially supported OSS to IBM Z

2020 was a brutal year for ransomware. Cybercriminals operated without any human decency, targeting the most vulnerable and at-risk parties, such as hospitals, scientists, and global manufacturers. The approach has become more sophisticated and life-threatening, shifting from individual targets to global enterprises, destroying backups, blackmailing victims with public leakage of exfiltrated data, and paralyzing critical systems and infrastructure.
Getting Started with Runtime Security on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)DevOps.com
This document discusses runtime security on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It begins by introducing AKS and how it simplifies Kubernetes deployment and management. It then discusses the security concerns with containers and the need for runtime security. Runtime security involves monitoring activity within containers to detect unwanted behaviors. The document outlines how Sysdig provides runtime security for AKS through its agents that collect syscall data and Kubernetes audit logs. It analyzes this data using policies to detect anomalies and threats across containers, hosts, and Kubernetes clusters. Sysdig also integrates with other tools like Falco and Anchore to provide breadth and depth of security.
In any fast-paced engineering environment, unexpected incidents can arise and escalate without warning. Without strong leadership within teams, you get chaotic, stressful, and tiring situations that waste valuable engineering time, slow down resolution, and most importantly, impact your customers.
Operationally mature organisations use proven incident response systems led by Incident Commanders. Incident Commanders provide the leadership needed to help stabilize major incidents fast.
In this webinar, we’ll take lessons learned from formalized incident response, such as those used by first responders, and show you how to apply those same practices to your organization. By utilising these methods you’ll improve both the speed and effectiveness of your team’s response, reducing the amount of downtime experienced.
In this workshop, attendees will:
Be introduced to the Incident Command System and learn how it can be adapted to their organisation
Walk through the basics of incident response best practices
Discuss examples of formal incident response from multiple organisations
Creating a Culture of Chaos: Chaos Engineering Is Not Just Tools, It's CultureDevOps.com
Chaos engineering is becoming a critical part of the DevOps toolchain when adopting Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices. Every system is becoming a distributed system and chaos engineering proclaims many advantages for them.
It improves infrastructure automation, increases reliability and transforms incident management. However, an often-overlooked benefit of chaos engineering and SRE involves culture transformation. Culture is often touched upon when talking about chaos engineering and SRE but not as often as skills and process.
In this webinar, we will discuss how you can build out a chaos engineering practice and how you can adopt a true blameless culture and maximize the potential of your team.
You will learn how to:
Hold blameless postmortems
Share post mortems with other teams
Run regular fire drills and game days

Deliver your App Anywhere … Publicly or PrivatelyDevOps.com
Developers are increasingly adopting a microservices approach for their apps in order to gain rapid iteration capabilities required for delivering new services faster. However, delivering the App still requires multiple steps such as allocation of virtual IPs, provisioning the front load balancer, configuring firewall rules, configuring a public domain, and DDOS. At present, each of these steps requires coordination across multiple teams with multiple iterations per team. The time efficiencies gained by adopting microservices and cloud-native technologies is negated due to the time taken to deliver the App.
In this session, Pranav Dharwadkar, VP of products at Volterra, and Jakub Pavlik, director of engineering, will help you understand these challenges and introduce a distributed proxy architecture that can alleviate the challenges across different cloud environments. This webinar will include a live demo using a distributed proxy architecture to advertise an App publicly and privately.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

complex, tightly coupled systems that require coordination across large numbers
of people from the business all the way out to Operations.”
“For these orgs, it is much more important to push the majority of testing and
defect fixing into smaller, less complex test environments with quality gates to
keep defects out of the bigger more complex environments. This helps to reduce
the cost and complexity of the testing and also helps with the triage process
because the issues are localized to the subsystem or application that created
them.”

production environments. Additionally, the people that understand the production
environments don’t understand well the impact of the changes that developers are making.
There are also frequently different end points in different test environments at each stage of
the deployment pipeline. No one person understands what needs to happen all the way
down the deployment pipeline. Therefore, managing environments for complex systems
requires close collaboration from every group between dev and ops.”
