Firefox 8 versions/yr, 6 weeks per version
Opera Close to 8 versions/yr

14. Software Delivery from the 1980’sWaterfall
Phase gates
Process repeatability
6 months to 3 years
Iterative
Spiral & RUP
Better requirements
capture
Interim Deliverables
6 weeks to 6 months
Agile
XP & Scrum
Product owner frequently
identifies & re-prioritizes
work
Potentially shippable
software every few
weeks
2 weeks to 6 weeks
People, Process, and
Technology change in
each transition
Continuous Integration
• Automated,code integration, testing and builds
• Improved Efficiency & quality
• Shippable software one or more times a day
• Manual deployment

15. Why Waterfall dries?
• Every
Operators/Tester/Stakeholder
s is looking for Good code.
• Good code is hard to find and
here is why.
From http://xkcd.com/

16. A New Flow is Required: Lean Development
Fail Fast, Fail Often, and Move on

22. A Foreign GovernmentAgency: Background
• Objective:
– Cut Release from 6 Months to 2~4 Weeks
– Reduce Project Risks along with DevelopmentStage
– Introduce MicroSegmentation for all Services
• Background:
– A foreign governmentagency is planning a major transformation to
modernize their infrastructure and service delivery within 5 years for several
millions budget
– High-Levelvirtualization infrastructure platform
– Most developers are Java coderfor Jboss platform
– Developmentteam uses agile methodologies

23. A Foreign GovernmentAgency: Problem
CONFIDENTIAL23
• Developers could not rely on JBOSS
platform configuration within each
stage being consistently in alignment
with production
• Tests were failing due to platform
configuration. Lack of trust.
• Reconfiguring / patching / updating
was dependenton operational team
availability. Production related tasks
often added significant delays to
release timelines.
• Developers frustration levels HIGH !

24. A Foreign GovernmentAgency: Transformation

26. A Good Developer is Lazy = If you are not lazy,
you are not a good developer
I will always choose a lazy person to do a
difficult job.
Because, he will find an easy way to do it.
- Bill Gates

27. is a “Shipping Container” for Code
Developers because …
• Frictionless deployment and maximum portability
• No Need to Deal With Operation Team
On developer laptop:
Then on server:
That’s it!!
• A natural fit for 3rd Platform, 12 factor,
microservices
• It makes DevOps much, much easier

33. Technical Preview on VMware Integrated Container
• Scenario: You will see
– A developercan quickly deploy their applications and see the results
– An operator can monitor spawned “Container” using regular mechanism
– You got to play an old-time game: DOOM compiled on MS-DOS Container

34. Container has its limits now…
• Resource Isolation (IBM Research Report. July, 2014)
• Security Isolation (Intel Clear Linux Project is after)
– No User Namespace Isolation
– DockerDaemon is running with root
– InconsistentSecurity policies

35. Uniting Technologies – Introducing vSphere
Integrated Containers
35
• EXTENDING an existing vSphere
environment
• Containers become a first-class
citizen
• Industry-leading capabilities
• DRS, vMotion, HA/DR
• Storage and Network Integration
(VSAN and NSX)
• NO rebuilding or re-architecture
required
• Full compatibility with existing tools
• Broadestecosystem
• Cloud-Native developer tools,
application services, and hardware
platforms
