These are the tech skills you need to survive in Singapore banking: adapt or die

Source – efinancialcareers.com Barely a week goes by without a major bank announcing a restructure, transformation programme, or rebalancing of their strategy, especially here in Asia. Despite this, banks are still investing heavily in technology in Singapore, but the mix of skills they need is changing. As they seek to achieve digital transformation to engage better with customers and hold off fintech start-ups, they need technology people who can collaborate with peers in other professional disciplines, both within the bank and with vendors,

A proper DevOps feedback loop includes business leaders

Source – techtarget.com DevOps streamlines development, testing and operations processes, but it relies on strong feedback loops to complete useful work. Without feedback from start to finish, DevOps is no more useful for a business than waterfall. DevOps can support continuous development and delivery models, which break up work into tiny pieces small enough to deal with efficiently and in real time to prevent problems from becoming bottlenecks. It’s a step up from waterfall, where processes add significant time to project completion in the

How to use DevOps Slack to improve team collaboration

Source – techtarget.com DevOps relies on collaboration between developers and operations. Yet, ironically, the methodology based upon collaboration has yet to perfect its own strategies on the matter. So if you find collaboration challenging, you’re not alone. But if you can roll out DevOps Slack properly, collaboration will happen. Here are some ways you can benefit from it. A DevOps burden Before we begin, let’s try to understand why collaboration is such an issue among so many DevOps teams right now. As much

Bridge the DevSecOps Experience Divide with Cross-Functional Teams

Source – devops.com Last week’s DevOps Connect event at RSA Conference offered up a ton of wisdom and real-world examples of the power of DevSecOps. With its best-ever attendance after several years and impressive participation levels, this year’s event stands as a good harbinger for the growing interest that the security community has in vesting itself in the DevOps phenomenon. But there’s still a lot of work to do in helping security professionals shift their mindsets and fully understand what DevSecOps

DevOps Transformation: Leave No Ops Behind

Source – devops.com Have you ever found yourself struggling to explain something that you know how to do without a moment’s thought? I’m not talking about the amygdala, the part of our brain that initiates the automatic “fight or flight” response. No, I’m referring more to the muscle memory-type behaviors that we’ve collected through life and, likely, pay little attention to while executing. Things We Take for Granted Muscle memory is awesome.

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

3 Steps to Building a DevOps Team Focused on Customers

Source – devops.com In most enterprises, Dev and Ops people inhabit different worlds, show scant regard for one another and communicate as little as possible—unless it is to vent about something done by “one of those” people over there. Dev and Ops are the chalk and cheese of software development and, mostly, that’s the way they like it. The concept of being on the same team—creating the best possible software for customers—might be quite alien. Obviously, Dev and Ops people are

Why software resilience should be the real goal of DevOps

Source – techtarget.com Years ago, I worked for an organization that prided itself on its internal controls for software. Using a work order, developers had to get every box checked and then outline the steps to move the code to production. If there was a problem, systems would be down, and any “fix” would require a similar rigorous — and documented — process. That single-minded focus on reliability meant we had to batch changes together into projects and roll out less often. It became a

The Two Key Ways to Monitor DevOps Projects

Source – itbusinessedge.com One of the chief challenges in monitoring DevOps projects is the fact that the resulting application or service is usually pushed out to the cloud or a mobile platform. In many cases, this involves third-party infrastructure and/or monitoring solutions, which can leave the enterprise blind to key performance data. To accommodate this, DevOps teams will need to incorporate two practices that aim to gauge performance across distributed architectures: synthetic monitoring and real user monitoring (RUM). The difference lies in the

DevSecOps: How to get your team on board

Source – enterprisersproject.com A funny thing happened as IT embraced DevOps and broke down longstanding silos between teams: Many organizations created new silos in their place, around security. “We found through our research that DevOps and security teams are already operating in silos, and the rush to the cloud is exacerbating this disconnect,” says Pete Cheslock, senior director at Threat Stack. “Teams are increasingly isolated, and they’re facing a steep learning curve.” This is why you’re increasingly hearing the term DevSecOps.

How blockchains can help build stronger software

Source – idgconnect.com Blockchains can make the biggest impact in deeply collaborative environments. That is why supply chains stand to benefit from blockchains, composed as they are of diverse people, organizations, and stakeholders. Given the proliferation of software and application development globally, a DevOps-based software supply chain ecosystem experiences very similar challenges to traditional “offline” supply chains comprised of physical goods. Enterprises are embracing open source systems like never before – but, they are failing to manage them effectively[1] – which can
