DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the ‘digital exhaust’ from the delivery toolchain, “pervasive” and “cognitive” computing, APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things, and now even blockchain. In this power panel at @…
Traditional on-premises data centers have long been the domain of modern data platforms like Apache Hadoop, meaning companies who build their business on public cloud were challenged to run Big Data processing and analytics at scale.

By Derek Weeks  “Being able to take needless work out of the system is more important than being able to put more work into the system.” This is one of my favorite quotes from Gene Kim’s book, The Phoenix Project, and it plays directly into why we’re announcing the DevOps Express initiative today.

By David Sprott  In many organizations governance is still practiced by phase or stage gate peer review, and Agile projects are forced to accommodate, which leads to WaterScrumFall or worse. But governance criteria and policies are often very weak anyway, out of date or non-existent. Consequently governance is frequently a matter of opinion and experience, highly dependent upon the experience of individual reviewe…Oct. 23, 2016 10:00 PM EDT Reads: 3,330 |

By Lori MacVittie  There’s a tendency, particularly for networkers, to classify applications by the protocols they use. If it uses HTTP, it must be a web app. The thing is that HTTP has become what it was intended to be: a transport protocol. It is not an application protocol, in the sense that it defines application messages and states. It merely transports data in a very specific way. That’s particularly importan…Oct. 23, 2016 06:30 PM EDT Reads: 1,949 |

By TJ Randall  At its core DevOps is all about collaboration. The lines of communication must be opened and it takes some effort to ensure that they stay that way.

Success requires planning, advocates empowered to effect change, and, of course, the right tooling. To bring …Oct. 23, 2016 06:00 PM EDT Reads: 12,521 |

By David Sprott  Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should “think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development”. These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Y…Oct. 23, 2016 05:00 PM EDT Reads: 12,302 |

By Lori MacVittie  When we talk about the impact of BYOD and BYOA and the Internet of Things, we often focus on the impact on data center architectures.
