The time to secure DevOps is here — but how?

Source – techtarget.com The DevOps methodology was birthed by the necessity for improved communication between software developers and operations teams.

Windows DevOps tools rehab legacy enterprise applications

Source – techtarget.com As Microsoft shops struggle to modernize legacy apps that weren’t designed for distributed cloud environments, they must also rethink the infrastructure where these apps are deployed.

Now, these companies must weigh the risks and costs to refactor these apps for a cloud-first, continuously developed world. “It’s always an investment to

You Can Reconcile Bimodal IT with DevOps

Source – informationweek.com Is it speed versus quality, or speed and quality? I recently gave a talk comparing DevOps with Gartner’s Bimodal IT approach, which is somewhat controversial. I didn’t bash Bimodal IT, instead I demonstrated how to reconcile the modes Gartner proposes organizations take based on application types, with the spirit behind DevOps. To begin, I made my own controversial statement: DevOps is a farce! That’s right, I said this to all of the DevOps enthusiasts nice enough to come to my presentation. As

DevSecOps in the app economy

Source – itweb.co.za DevSecOps is crucial in the app economy. When a business depends on digital technology, securitycan’t be bolted onto apps as an afterthought. Similar to DevOps, which integrates IT operations earlier into the software development cycle, DevSecOps brings security into the development process sooner. This ensures security is built in to digital applications from the outset. Seven steps to effective identity-centric security There is a strong business case for embracing identity-centric approaches to security. But, how do businesses get started? How do they

5 ways to nurture DevOps culture

Source – enterprisersproject.com Culture shifts such as DevOps take a lot of hard work, because you need every single person to buy into the new culture. The most successful adoptions we’ve seen of the DevOps mindset start with an organic, bottoms-up approach. Where to start with DevOps culture Start with a concrete, immediate problem.

Technical debt and the cloud: The key steps to repaying your development deficit

Source – cloudcomputing-news.net Opinion Many years ago, I compared the concept of technical debt to a mismanaged baseball team. The baseball team in question spent untold millions on ageing veterans, rather than home-grown talent that could take them into the future. IT departments the world over tend to exhibit the same behaviours in retaining ageing technology rather than keeping up with upgrades, new methodologies, and new paradigms. The obvious result of this lack of foresight is the gathering of overwhelming technical debt.
