Why DevOps Is Your Key to Becoming a Digital Entity

Source – informationweek.com I’ve been working with a lot of organizations that are in full-swing with their “digital transformation” initiatives. They’re doing virtualization, cloud, better security, and focusing on improved user mobility. From there, you can throw in a bunch of other market trending words like AI, machine learning, and you’ve got some pretty impressive things down on paper. Sound familiar? It’s quite possible that you’re in your own process to “digitize” your organization. However, a major challenge over these years

Microservices, DevOps and collaboration: The foundation for BSS Transformation

Source – vanillaplus.com Telecoms operators, by tradition, are not seen as fast-moving businesses.

DevOps and security can coexist with a little planning

Source – techtarget.com “If you’re not thinking about security at all, it’s crazy.” Those words, from Ari Weil, vice president and senior director of industry marketing at Akamai, neatly sum up his frustration with the so-called DevSecOps landscape. Despite well-publicized security breaches, most DevOps teams continue to think about security too late in the process. DevSecOps — with its promise to bake security in from the beginning — could help. But, today, this movement is nascent at best. And while Akamai now offers new

Can DevOps help modernize legacy applications?

Source – techtarget.com The challenge with new and shiny ways to execute against DevOps-centric operational models is that they’re often devoted to applications and services built for cloud-native environments. While I certainly embrace this change and see it as the ideal strategy here on out, there’s still a rather large elephant in the room: traditional enterprise applications. Based on the ever-popular “80/20 rule” and my own experiences, most data center applications weigh the operations team down with care-and-feeding requirements. Plus, the
