4. Running
Infrastructure
Sucks
You cannot maintain control
The dependency graph for
applications is getting deeper
Best case, you are invisible
Not my code...

5. We have a serious problem building for operators
Mesos OpenStack
C.FoundryKubernetes
Ops
Slows
Profit
Too Complex
Too Fragile
Too Fast
Faster Developers Commodity Infrastructure

6. Artificial Conflict
Our industry LOVES to
manufacture “this vs that”
narratives.
If your team is discussing
these items as conflicting
then it’s an indiciation of
deeper political silos
within your organization
DevOps = Process
SRE =
Job Function
Cloud Native =
Architecture
Devs
Ops

7. Shared Lean Root
They all have the same
fundamental goal:
increase product delivery
through improved flow.
It’s really that simple.
SRE, Cloud Native and
DevOps do have a
SHARED ENEMY:
Complexity
Cloud
Native
DevOps
Site
Reliability
Engineering
Lean

8. What is
Cloud First?
It’s about a
Deep Automation Posture
Not Cloud Only
Not VMs Only
Not Single Vendor

9. What is
Cloud First?

20. Oh, and...
get the Google
SRE Book!
It’s making the corporate Ops
team rounds like Phoenix Project
did! A physical copy is easier to
drop on your manager’s desk!

27. We need to
support SREs
Because the Ops/infrastructure
side of DevOps needs serious
improvements to catch-up.
SRE!
