Years of (not) learning , from devops to devoops

This document discusses the history of devops from 2009 to the present. It began as a movement in 2009 in Ghent to improve software delivery using open source tools and has since grown globally with over 250 events held. While tools have evolved from things like Puppet and Jenkins to Docker and Kubernetes, the core challenges of culture change, continuous delivery, monitoring, and cloud infrastructure remain. The document cautions that tools alone will not solve problems and that the industry focuses too much on hype and certification over meaningful change. The key takeaway is that after over 10 years, many organizations still struggle with devops principles due to cultural barriers, and the work of bridging development and operations is ongoing.

- 8. Why we study history ? ● Because I`m a grumpy old frustrated developer sysadmin ● Because I`m an old opiniated guy ● Because history repeats ● We need to learn from our mistakes
- 9. The “Old” Days ● “Put this Code Live, here's a tarball” NOW! ● What dependencies ? ● No machines available ? ● What database ? ● Security ? ● High Availability ? ● Scalability ? ● My computer can't install this ?
- 10. Culture Then ● Agile, Kanban, Lean ● Startups as examples ● Success Stories ● Unicorns ● Poster Childs Now ● Agile, Fake Agile, Less, Safe, ● Enterprises as examples => No examples ● Popular Antipatterns ● How to include management ● Failure ● Burnout
- 11. * as code Then ● Cfengine, Puppet, Chef ● Mcollective, Noah, Rundeck ● Hudson, Jenkins Now ● Bash in Yaml ● Ansible, Rundeck, Choria,Bolt ● Jenkins, JenkinsX GitlabCI, CircleCI, TravisCI – Pipeline As Code ● kubectl apply -f ……. ● helm install …….
- 12. Continuous Something Then ● Deploying Software ● Svn, Git ● Git flow ● Release Management Now ● Git ● Stop Branching ● Trunk Based Development
- 13. Monitordrama Then ● Bloated commercial ● Nagios ● Cacti, Munin , RRD ● Ganglia ● Zenoss ● Scaling Zabbix ● #monitoringsucks Now ● Icinga ● ELK ● Graphite + Grafana ● Prometheus ● #monitoringlove ● #observability ● #opentracing
- 14. Cloudy Then ● Xen, KVM, openVZ, lxc ● Vagrant ● Linux-HA, CoroSync ● Ceph, Gluster, DRBD, ● EC2, OpenStack, Cloudstack, Eucalyptus,OpenNebula, openQRM Now ● Docker , Docker, Docker, Moby, Rkt, lxc, cri-o,podman ● Docker , Docker, Docker, ● Mesos, Kubernetes, K8s, K3s, Nomad ● NFS ● EC2, GCE, Azure, OpenStack,
- 16. Tools will not fix your broken culture Tooling hype is not helping
- 18. Tools vs Culture
- 19. ● While true ; – We’re going to go for fancy new $tool – We’re not going to change how we use it – We’re going to fail ● done
- 20. O11y will fix it ! ● Observability will NOT fix your broken monitoring. ● Prometheus will NOT fix your AlertFatigue ● Automating it from a SSOT will !
- 21. This industry is great at killing awesome things
- 22. Is ITIL dead ? ● The last mile ● The men who say no ● Guardians of Production ● Friday at 10 am ● Reducing risk upfront ● Machines make decisions ● Lower downtime ● Constantly ● Learn the Language ● Automate the steps ● Speed up 1000x
- 23. Agile is dead ? ● Waterfall ● Watermill ● Jira & Standups ● SaFe
- 24. Who killed #devops ?
- 25. We Did ● 7 tools for your devops stack ● Puppet vs Chef vs Ansible ● Docker , the Ultimate “Devops” Tool ● Implement all the tools ..
- 26. Recruiters Killed #devops ● It's not a job title. ● Is it a developer ? ● Is it an ops engineer ? ● a system engineer writing code ? ● a developer running operations ?
- 27. #devopsteam ● It's not the team running tooling ● It's not the team in charge of delivery ● It's not yet another silo between devs and ops
- 28. There is no such thing ● Who is certified ? ● By who ?
- 29. Certification kills everything ● ITIL => misses the goal ● Scrum => makes it a procedure ● Devops => the biggest scam of them all ● For the cause of education ? ● Devops “insert your tool here” Certifcation ? ● Certification = Vendors milking users
- 32. #enterprise devops ● “You can only change small organisations” ● “You can't change a large organisation” ● “You need to do things different“ ● There is much more to change ● It takes longer ● The resistance is bigger ● “The antibodies kick in”
- 33. Most Large Enterprises are not even close to #devops, #agile Their culture is so broken they keep lying to themselves they are While pushing people closer to BurnOut :(
- 34. Pro Tip Do not call it a devops transformation
- 35. 103 years later
- 36. Dev Ooops #container edition ● “Put this Code Live, here's a Docker Image ” ● No machines available ? ● What database ? Where to store the data ? ● Security ? What distro is this even ? Bad Cows ? ● How do we monitor his ? ● Backups ? ● How did you build this ?
- 37. What have we really learned ?
- 38. The rise of ● Cargo Culting ● YoloOps ● Resume Driven development ● Hype Driven development
- 39. “Success” Stories ● Not always real success stories :( ● Change Happens ● But not company wide
- 40. A long Journey ● We are nowhere close to being finished.. ● Young organisations become old ● New people onboard ● New technologies need to be embrace
- 41. Teaching people
- 42. Our role tomorrow today ● Teacher ● Student ● Bridge Builder ● Developer ● Troubleshooter ● Evangelist ● Shrink
- 43. It's not about the tools It's about change It's about the people
