IT must innovate at the speed of market change and many enterprises are realizing that DevOps and cloud computing are a means to this end. Cloud-based DevOps solutions that enforce fine-grain governance policies and automate software releases across the development tool chain can accelerate application time to market while also improving software quality. In this session, attendees learn the following: - How cloud and DevOps together can significantly accelerate software release cycles, so you can speed business innovation and gain competitive advantage - Best practices for leveraging CSC Agility Platform, AWS, and a hybrid IT strategy for DevOps - How to eliminate software release bottlenecks via policy-based automation, orchestration, and governance of application deployment environments. Sponsored by CSC.

2. Highly competitive market
New competition
Unexpected, younger, agile
Client
Improved cost control and margins
Greater flexibility
Faster time to market
Heightened security
Changing expectations
Pace of technology change
Urgent business demands
Aging apps; complex and costly infrastructure
Slow application release cycles
Constant IT resource delays
Lack of IT innovation with “80/20” budgets
Current IT operating models
And IT ...
Just can’t keep up
The solution: A flexible, efficient application-centric hybrid cloud ecosystem

… to this
DevOpsis a discipline to increase the pace and frequency of software releases without sacrificing quality
Dev wants to compress their cycle times and focus on coding and creativity
IT Ops wants to keep pace with faster change while improving reliability

4. Increase the speed and frequency of software releases
1
Fewer production defects and easier rollback
2
Catch defects before production, which are an order of magnitude more costly to resolve
