DevOps? Really?!
Of Golden Hammers, Silver Bullets, and Poisoned Thrones
How much do you really care?
Managers and Teams who deliver solutions
SUSE® and DevOps (a morality play)

… what is it? Really??
Select the correct answer. “DevOps is:”
___ Magic Wand
___ Silver Bullet
___ Golden Hammer
___ An attempt to economize the collaboration of efforts to release usable software

What is DevOps, Really?!
A Textbook would say:
• DevOps is the practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service lifecycle, from design through the development process to production support
● … Characterized by operations staff making use many of the same techniques as developers for their systems work

Reality would say...
DevOps in practice:
• Not necessarily new
• Another process; built on principles from earlier, successful processes
• Not a Silver Bullet
• Can work well enough – with the right conditions
– with the right people
– with a lot of hard work
– … and a lot of coffee

“Not Necessarily New…?”
DevOps in practice:
• Continuous Integration
• Continuous Deployment
• Concentrating on Efficiency of Collaboration

10
What Am I Managing, Exactly?
● Typically web solutions
Less common to be talking about stand alone applications
● Providing agility for addressing performance, scaling, and delivery of new/updated code to IT applications
● The Flow of Delivering a Service or Services
![Page 11: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
What Does DevOps Fix?
Poor communication between development
and those running the software
● Note that we group “testing” with “development”
● … though it’s too simplistic to avoid the topic of testing
![Page 12: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What Does DevOps Fix?
Inefficiencies of:
● Handing code from developers to deployers (IT operations)● Providing a competent feedback loop (good or bad)● Conflicts due to the inefficiencies● Development is agile, while operations is relatively static● While attempting to provide a solution for customers, resist
solving problems within the process

13
What's The Real Problem?
So what’s the REAL problem?● Providing a solution while managing change● IT Manager feels she has no upstream insight, no control
● It’s frequent chaos● Anarchy rules● Little idea of quality● Little control over addressing growth
● Dev Manager feels he has no downstream influence● “I just write the code; I don’t know what IT is doing with it.”

DevOps in Ideology
DevOps hopes to accomplish:
● Reducing the distance between development and IT operations● Reducing the barriers and time to deliver software (service)● Increasing the collaboration between developers and sysadmins● Bringing mutual agility to delivering new solutions (managing
change)
![Page 16: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Development and Operations Roles
Development● Create functionality● Fix code problems● Non-functional characteristics: performance, scalability, security, etc.
Operations● Make the functionality available● Stabilize (fix environment and runtime problems)● Economize / Scale
Some different tasks, yet remarkable confluence (similarity)
![Page 17: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Package
Release
Configure
Monitor
Match the Speed of Change

18
Automation
● Not unique to DevOps, but particularly well fitted
● Both in Dev and in Ops
● Reliant upon consistent, known states
● Unit tests in Dev, Configuration Management in Ops
![Page 19: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Automation
What can be automated?
● Builds (probably the easiest)
● Testing, at various levels
● Deployment of software
● System administration
![Page 20: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Manager's Special
What should a DevOps Manager insist?● Metrics (knowledge is power)
● Dialog (doesn’t have to be fancy, but frequent and well meaning)
● Ordinary, predictable (no time for heroics)
● Investment (New ideas, long term outcomes; “What if?”)
● Trust
![Page 21: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
DevOps Lifecycle
Planning
● Manager must take time for this, facilitate
● Consider non-functional requirements
● Be pragmatic; developers are too optimistic
● Involves Operations, too; not just Deveopment
![Page 22: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
DevOps Lifecycle
Execute
● Create channels and opportunities to communicate● Embrace risk (not reckless) ● Reward measurable improvements in the team’s execution
● Don’t focus on the dates● Don’t focus on the features/bug fixes● The project manager will be pushing those things● Example: new automation
![Page 23: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
DevOps Lifecycle
Post-Release
● Hold a Retrospective
● Continue automated tests after release
● Breathe (counter to Sprint)
![Page 24: Game of Thrones - SUSE Linux Game of Thrones A DevOps Parable Craig Gardner Software Engineering Manager SUSE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051601/5ade37a77f8b9ae1408e16a1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
DevOps Lifecycle
Maintain
● Be prepared for Support and maintenance
● Continue automation
● Monitor and measure

No Magic Solutions
DevOps is an Agile Process
● Still requires “process”
● Requires smart, caring, hard-working people
● Requires management
● Demands heightened collaboration where other processes fail

Epic Struggle for Power – sacrifice for power● Jaime Lannister: pushes a boy out a window
● Malevolent Charisma● Jon Snow: crafty deception
● Guards the Northern Border, honor bound● Daenerys Targaryen: most aggressive to reclaim the Iron Throne
● Most popular, appealing, sexy
G.R.R. Martin makes all these characters out to be Heroes

his dad than he realizes,
until it’s much too late.

Hallmarks of Success
Configuration Management● OPS: Salt, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, CFEngine, etc● DEV: git, svn, etc
Testing● Unit tests, and more unit tests● QA tests happen alongside development
Automation● Jenkins, Drone, Travis, etc
Continuous Deployment● Once you validate, deploy; automate

SUSE Customer Center (SCC)
Team Decision → Team Investment● Scrum and DevOps● Less Specific “Dev” and “Ops” Roles● New project, not tied to old processes or paradigms
Fearless Deployment● Don’t be afraid to make mistakes● As many as 40 deployments per day (though typically not)● Confidence in Agility
Automation, Automation● Automate everything: Tests, Integrations, Deployments●

35
Open Build Service
Opted for DevOps Almost by Default● Uses a modified Kanban approach; Agile development● All Ops environment already under Dev management
More Deliberate Deployments● Can deploy more rapidly; chooses to deploy weekly● Extensive, stress testing before deployment● Service Level Agreement with Users
Automation, Automation● Sophisticated Dev Test Suite ensures changes don’t break Production● Roll Back
