- 2. Who am I? Miguel Fonseca Linux Application Engineer at Blip.pt Contributor at Fedora Project @miguelcnf linkedin twitter github ...
- 3. How and Why DevOps appeared? DevOps tries to fix mentality problems - Siloisation - It works on my machine - Fear of change - Risky deployments The movement really started being noticed - DevOpsDays Ghent '09 - Patrick Debois http://www.devopsdays.org/events/2009-ghent/
- 4. How things used to be Big independent silos! Big software deliveries! Big delivery intervals! Lots of headaches on qa! Lots of fights between dev and ops teams! Lots of headaches on release! Lots of bugs found in production! Lots of outages! Huge time to recover!
- 5. How devops hopes to be Small collaborative teams! Small software deliveries! Small delivery intervals! No headaches on qa! No fights between dev and ops teams! No headaches on release! No (Errr...) bugs found in production! No (Errr...) outages! Minimal time to recover!
- 6. Mentalities needs to change Bridge the gap between dev and ops teams! You know you've nailed it when you hear: - Ops asking Devs what does that http call does behind the hood? - Devs asking Ops how high should the http timeout of that one call be?
- 7. Workflows need to change Agile goes hand in hand with DevOps - Developers love Scrum - Operations love Kanban Continuous Delivery Pipelines - Devs are able to perform integration testing - Ops make sure apps work on production-like systems
- 8. Tools need to change Automated Testing - We still need manual QA Infrastructure as Code - No manual changes Sandboxes - Quick/Complex validations Much more...
