Is 2018 the year of the DevOps backlash?

Source – computerweekly.com The DevOps honeymoon is over – well, it could be
 and here’s one reason why. As we know by now, DevOps is a portmanteau term used to describe the notion of more connected, cyclical, integrated and holistically-aware way of working between Developers (the Dev in DevOps, obviously) and the Operations team, which could encompass sysadmins, DBAs, configuration specialists, testers and other key supporting operational staff. DevOps origins The term itself [arguably] arose not because developers decided they needed

Tool Options for API Testing

Source – programmableweb.com Many software testers get by with a small toolset — a few good browsers and the application’s built-in developer tools, something to run SQL queries through, a tool to connect as a user to the test server, and perhaps an HTTP inspector if they want to get fancy. Testing an API requires expanding on that. Picking a toolset is a bit like shopping for toothpaste. First, you walk through the aisle, noticing (and being overwhelmed by) all of

In principle, at least, “DevOps teams that deploy software are responsible for maintaining security by design,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and co-founder of Keeper Security, a Chicago-based security

The top 10 DevOps myths debunked

DevOps: Google ignores country domain and delivers search results on detected location

Source – zdnet.com Google is doing away with using the country code element of its domain name to decide which version of its search results to serve users, and will instead serve the user results based on detected location. This means that regardless of whether a user searches from google.com, google.co.uk, or google.com.au, for instance, the search giant will only return one set of results based on where the search engine believes the user is located.

How devops changes both dev and ops

Source – techworld.com.au Devops is the literal and figurative fusion of development and operations. For years, these two groups have been separated by cultural and knowledge boundaries, particularly inside larger enterprise IT organizations. This separation was straightforward: Developers focused on nothing more than code and operations focused on taking that code and making sure it stayed running. The complete disconnect between these two groups led to long QA cycles and infrequent production deployments for fear of downtime or breaking something. A

Treating Shared Databases Like APIs in a DevOps World

Source – infoq.com Simon Sabin, Principle Consultant at Sabin.io, spoke at WinOps 2017 conference on how to include database changes in a continuous deployment model.

He gave the example of migrating

Big organisations are just too weighed down by bureaucracy, legacy technologies and waterfall-style software development techniques for DevOps to thrive, and any attempt to challenge the status quo will come to nothing – or so the rhetoric went. But what
