at numerous industry events, including
devopsdays, OSCON and LinuxCon, covering
Linux and open source software, cloud
computing and devops.
7. Current State
Still early for cloud and devops
o Application development and deployment
teams (i.e. operatoins) are separate, siloed or
worse
o Application deployment is heavily reliant on
specialization, scripting and often becomes a
whack-a-mole proposition
o There is great interest in utilizing virtual and cloud
resources, joining dev and ops and changing
process wholesale, but where to start?
9. The Next Level
Production, enterprise apps
o Today’s devops and continuous management
efforts tend to center on Web and mobile
applications
o Enterprise applications are a bigger challenge
(parallels and contrast to open source software,
which snuck into the enterprise over 10 years)
o Beyond speed, efficiency, quality and cost
savings, organizations are increasingly looking for
ROI from application deployment and IT
operations
10. Response and Disruption
Answers
o Devops=DIY – organizations are striving for
automation, continuous deployment and
devops, but must take on the bulk of the
challenge themselves – similar to OSS years ago
o PaaS= support for devops and polyglot
programming, but not yet ready
o Auto-ops = big challenge with greater, enterprise
application complexity, application logic, data,
security and other concerns, but also big
opportunity …
14. Market Evolution
Rewards
o More educated, anxious audience = faster,
paid adoption
o Leveraging devops, Paas, auto-ops for
faster, more automated, efficient and
effective releases
o Stakeholder spread – as devops and
continuous management of applications
and deployment widens out within
organizations and more broadly in the
industry, we see greater involvement
beyond devs and IT ops (dbas, security,
business analysts, field professionals, etc.).
This is part of the drive to treat technology
and IT operations as business divisions that
should produce value and ROI.
