DevOps has achieved widespread success. However, that success has been uneven for those who work in Operations. In most enterprises today, it is not uncommon for engineers who come anywhere near Operations to find themselves buried in interruptions, tickets, and repetitive work. Then along comes a new way of working and a new role called Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). In his DevOpsCon 2019 session, Damon Edwards explains what SRE is all about and how it makes the work of Operations and Systems Administration easier.

In her DevOpsCon 2019 session, Gabriella Querales shares her experience working with a Silicon Valley-based company that ran a containerized application monitoring pilot, and gives some insights on the challenges they faced and how they solved them.

While in the past the public cloud was seen more as a target for hackers, it is now increasingly gaining momentum. We talked to Bernd Rederlechner, Lead Architect of PU Digital Solutions at T-Systems, about the benefits of the public cloud and how severe the security risks really are today. In our interview, he also explains how automation can help companies to remain independent.

“We create the UX designs and then that can be developed” – surely, we’ve all heard this or something similar at least once, or perhaps you were the one who said it. In interdisciplinary teams, in which the words “user experience” falls, it is commonly the case that one or several people will feel solely responsible for this issue – the rest of the team is there to take care of implementation. But does User Experience not mean creating a holistic solution for the user – the human being? If so, why is it that we do not feel responsible for it as a team?

The year 2020 will bring some major changes regarding our very own DevOps Conference: We will be visiting five locations around the globe with our unique speaker line-up and a vast array of topics, trends, and talks.

Service Meshes are currently a very popular topic in IT: Microservices architectures are growing continuously and with them the difficulty of keeping track. We spoke with Patrick Arnold, IT consultant at Pentasys AG, about service meshes such as Istio, Linkerd and solo.io and best practices when using them.

In modern software development, we’ve grown to expect that new software features and enhancements will simply appear incrementally, on any given day. This applies to consumer applications such as mobile, web, and desktop apps, as well as modern enterprise software. We’re no longer tolerant of big, disruptive software deployments. ThoughtWorks has been a pioneer in Continuous Delivery (CD), a set of principles and practices that improve the throughput of delivering software to production in a safe and reliable way.
