- 3. DevOps Here I Come I have all the open-source tools I need. I am good to go ! Is this enough ????
- 4. Challenge #1: I have a DevOps Team and a SRE team ü There is NO separate DevOps Team o Rotate Dev and Ops/SRE members. Helps to narrow and fix gaps in automation across the toolchain, CI/CD, validation and support processes ü SRE – Convert FICTION to REALITY o Empower SRE to enforce SLAs and provide them with data to verify o Empower SRE to automate at solution/system level using sustainable custom Glue code
- 5. Challenge #2: DevOps Backlog ?? Feature Backlog is Priority! ü Features without responsiveness to quality and market is a waste of time. o Maintain a DevOps Backlog on par with the Feature Backlog o Empower Ops/SRE to be peers to Feature Product Managers ü Evaluate Metrics, Performance, Security, Automation per Feature o Make Agile Demos potent with show-and-tell of the above o Empower Ops/SRE to block feature promotion to production
- 6. Challenge #3: Metrics Flood, All Data is Game Anywhere ü Junk Logs, Meaningless Metrics cost ₹ o Use Case/Problem definition o Design Metrics for End-2-End Flows, Orchestration. This is Non-Trivial o Leverage CI/CD and Toggles for Metrics lifecycle updates as well ü Privacy, Audit & Retention Needs o Design for PII, Audit considerations and Data Retention from the start o Covers Troubleshooting, Diagnostics and DS/ML/Analytics opportunities o Beware of GDPR: May 2018
