What Are the Right Metrics for DevOps?

Source – itbusinessedge.com DevOps is not merely a technology upgrade but a change to business cultures, processes and models. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that few organizations have a handle as to exactly what makes a successful transition. One of the biggest mistakes is thinking that traditional performance metrics can give you an idea of what is working, and what isn’t, in a DevOps environment. While it is true that things like resource utilization, network traffic patterns, storage consumption

Four common barriers that impede DevOps at scale

Source – computing.co.uk The software producers that report the best performance across a variety of metrics are those that release code most frequently. So says Rob Vanstone, technical director at continuous delivery vendor XebiaLabs, speaking at the Computing DevOps Summit this week. The aim then is to iterate faster. The problem for large organisations is how to reduce the software delivery lifecycle at scale. “What we see is teams starting to do pockets of innovation, typically scripting, typically automation and then saying ‘hey,

Why operations metrics and telemetry matter in DevOps too

Source – techtarget.com I am not a faddist or a Kool-Aid drinker. I’m a skeptic by career. But monitoring and observability is so “hot right now” and, well, validly so. We have to scientifically consider how to create systems that are more reachable and more observable and can tell us more under scrutiny. Charity Majors, among others, talks about this, and I highly recommend her work. But it’s time to elevate operations metrics and monitoring and make it a first-class systems

Building Open Source Security into DevOps

Source – infosecurity-magazine.com DevOps is a philosophy of IT operations that binds the development of services and their delivery to the core principles of W. Edwards Deming’s points on Quality Management. When applied to software development and IT organizations, Deming’s principles seek to improve the overall quality of software systems as a whole. This is done in part by decomposing the system into manageable components, which can be owned by teams. These teams have the freedom to quickly resolve any issues

Three Keys to Aligning Digital and DevOps

Source – news.sys-con.com On first glance, Digital Transformation and DevOps seem to be separate, disconnected endeavors – especially once you realize that Digital Transformation is more about aligning the organization with changing customer needs and desires, rather than software. DevOps, in contrast, appears to be all about the code – how to build, maintain, and update it more quickly. Yet this view of DevOps also misses the bigger picture, as the movement is more of a cultural and organizational change that

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.

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
