CollabNet DevOps Product StrategyPutting the Ops back into DevOps for Operational Intelligence

Eric RobertsonDevOps Product Line General Manager


My Background and Story• Responsible for the strategic direction of the DevOps product line at CollabNet.

• Led a solutions and services team at Unisys for migrating legacy environments to Web-scale-IT architectures

• Joined Cisco through a company acquisition (Tidal Software), where he served as Director for Product Management and as a subject-matter expert and solution management leader for Cisco’s cloud orchestration and automation products.

• Spearheaded the joint partnership between Cisco and SAP, whereby, SAP resold Cisco’s Intelligent Automation solution as a SAP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) extension.

• Successfully held product engineering and management roles (Microsoft, Motorola, HP, BMC Software, Cap Gemini) and has provided consulting to Fortune 500 companies.

• Hold patents in the area of Hardware Abstraction Layers for Microkernel OS and a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and Master’s Degree in Electrical and Software Engineering from University of Texas in Austin.

Agile Focus Areas

CollabNet defines three Agile focus areas:• Agile PPM: Agile “planning” capabilities including project, portfolio & program level, backlog and

milestone management, capacity planning, etc.

• Agile Execution: features focused on Agile team execution of iterations and kanban-style workflow

• Downstream Agile: visibility and traceability of engineering activities downstream of planning and tasking (SCM, CI, CD, etc.).

Focus areas (as per Forrester Research):

Key Benefits:

INTEGRATIONLeverage investment

in existing infrastructure and tools Interchange

tools to match evolving needs

AUTOMATIONDetect events and

take actions (across tools &

workflow systems)

TRACEABILITYFor impact analysis

and fast-fix

CI/CD/CM Workflows

Security

• Sensors are inbound integration plugins that watch for events from external systems. When an event occurs, it fires a trigger (e.g., NewRelic app performance alert, Github commit, or JIRA issue update).

• Rules use the trigger to select which action or workflow to execute and pass the data needed to execute the action.

• Workflows stitch actions together into “uber-actions” with simple declarative DSL, defining the order, transitions, conditions, and data flow.

• Actions are outbound integrations and can be any scripts with meta-data. Actions are invoked by users via GUI, CLI, API, or ChatOps(*), or triggered by automations - rules and workflows.

• Audit trails record action executions, whether manual or automated, and stores them with full details of triggering context and execution results.

Pipeline View – Status across Tool Chains


• Incidents & Problems often have a gap between 1. Knowing that there is a problem and it’s impact, and 2. Knowing where it came from and how to fix it

• Our DevOps traceability functions allows quick…– Identification of the problem’s source, related activities and team involvement – Problem repairs, contextually understanding ‘how it happened’ – Improvement capabilities for teams, activities, process or practices…globally

• Our DevOps fast-fix response capability allows the Enterprise to embrace agility with a continuous improvement strategy– Platform enables quality at speed!

Quick-Fix Visibility and Continuous Improvement

- Ops team & user feedback recorded- Apps performance & use monitored- Process reviewed- List new requirements- Dev team reassigned

Cloud/Hybrid & Automation Deployment

Examples: - Amazon, Microsoft Azure, etc.

Developers get Defects/Requirements - via (IDE) Eclipse, Visual Studio, etc. - Global teams leverage productivity and collaboration… …code search for reuse, discussion forums and wikis

Product OwnerBA / QA Submit - New Requirements - or New Defects

Dev / Team Lead

Review, sets priorities, drives team effort

Developers Code and Collaborate - Meet requirements, fix bugs, run unit tests & commit code

Continuous Integration - Hudson/Jenkins (Build Automation – on-success) triggers Test/QA execution- Test/QA/Defect results and activities recorded. - Developers complete all supporting Release Files.

Deploy/Release to create: - Release config. (BOM)- Workflows, Profiles - Cookbook-Recipes Deployment Patterns
