State of the Union for DevOps

• Traditionally lagging organizations showcased dramatic progress –
Telecoms, Healthcare, Governments orgs – not isolated examples anymore
• The best performers were the ones
using public cloud services the
most
• No one is not doing DevOps and
Cloud
• Sharing experiences with DevOps
transformation has huge value
• Modeling modern behavior a
growing trend – Dojos getting
common

Guidelines
Break-up activities into services
Every team will expose data only through interfaces for their services
No team will have means to communicate directly to other teams data
Use any technology you wish, but only accessible through interfaces
Design interfaces to allow for externalization

Today we have Modern Applications
Modern applications
• Use independently scalable microservices
(serverless, containers...)
• Connect through APIs
• Deliver updates continuously
• Adapt quickly to change
• Scale globally
• Are fault tolerant
• Carefully mange state & persistence
• Have security built-in
Modern Application
Does one thing
Independent deployments
Independent scaling
Small impact of change

Some things we have learned…
• Distributed systems are both hard…and weird
• Non-distributed systems either work
or they don’t – i.e. single fault domain or
fate sharing
• Today’s complex distributed systems
tend to run in a constant state of
degradation.
• Failure conditions that have to be
accounted for multiply exponentially
• Eight failure modes of the apocalypse
• Lots of UNKNOWNs
From “Challenges of Distributed Systems by Davis Yanacek of AWS

Final thoughts

Microservices and the Future. NextOps
Containers
A standard method for
packaging application code,
configurations, and
dependencies into a single
object.
Serverless
Architectural style that offloads
operational responsibilities to AWS.
You build and run apps without
thinking about servers.
• Going forward “running software”
without understanding said software
won’t be a thing.
• Infrastructure will be invisible, yet
still elastic and optimized
• Monitoring, logging analysis and
observability tools will be where
Operations lives and works.
• Watching running software and
looking for ways to make it better
with be what your best technical
people are doing
• SRE activities will be operations job
one, regardless of whether you
have SREs
• Reactive-->Proactive
