1. OUR BRAVE MODULAR FUTURE
DEVOPS, APIS, AND THE END OF BESPOKE INFRASTRUCTURE
@ANTONYFALCO TONY@ORCHESTRATE.IO

2. DEVOPS
API-FRONTED
SERVICES
ORTHOGONAL, AT ODDS,
COMPLEMENTARY?

3. DEVOPS?
ELITE GROUP OF EUROPEAN
SYSADMINS APPLYING AGILE
PRINCIPLES TO OPS

4. THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF
DEVOPS
USE DEV TOOLS FOR OPS
BREAK DOWN SILOS

5. Outmoded
life cycle
and dev modes

6. Infrastructure as
code

8. BESPOKE
INFRASTRUCTURE

9. INTERLOCKED
COMPLEXITY

10. How many databases does it take for a cat to screw
in a lightbulb…?

11. 1…2…3…4.…

14. THE FUTURE
IS MODULAR

15. MODULAR
• Simple
• Self-contained
• Service
• API
• Disposable

16. Simple Complex
aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-c3b8d6aa
--count 2 --instance-type t1.micro
--key-name MyKeyPair --security-groups
MySecurityGroup

17. Simple Complex
Fulcrum (API)

18. Simple Complex

19. APPLICATION
PHONE AND MAIL
PAGER AND MONITORING
DATABASE
SERVER ETC.

20. COMPOSABLE APPS

21. HOW TO RECONCILE TWO TRENDS?
APIS DEVOPS
REPLACE
INFRASTRUCTURE
CODE
INFRASTRUCTURE

22. WHAT DEVOPS AND SERVICES HAVE IN COMMON
1. speed/agility
2. end silos
3. focus on mission, not guarding territory
4. free to focus on things that matter:
1. security
2. governance
3. uptime
4. more focus on/responsiveness to market/customers
5. scalability

23. And yet….
they may still
cancel each
other out.

24. THE FALLACY OF CONTROL
1. I NEED TO RUN ALL THINGS THAT
ARE CORE.
2. I’VE RUN IT BEFORE, I
UNDERSTAND IT, THEREFORE IT IS
CORE.
3. WE WILL SIMPLY HIRE ROCKSTAR
10X DEVS TO RUN MY CORE
INFRASTRUCTURE.

25. “Control” is code for “custom.”

CREATIVE
• Github
• Heroku
• Marvel API
• Orchestrate.io

32. The future.
Not about using devops tools and approaches
to control more surface area.
Core
But using every tool, including APIs, to iterate faster on
core business and abstracting away as much as possible.
