DESCRIPTION
Serena Software DevOps Drive-In Webcast Series – Expert Opinion: Adding Value to Open Source using Commercial Software Have you ever struggled trying to get your open source solutions to work with each other? Do you perceive using open source or commercial software as having to choose between one or the other? Learn how commercial software and open source software can actually add value to each other. Tools like Jenkins, Puppet and Chef are frequently used as part of DevOps automation solutions. Building a full release management solution, including DevOps automation using open source software alone can be done. However, to make it successful, large teams of experts are required to chain things together. Commercial software can actually help bridge the gap and make you productive without needing large teams to create and maintain your tools. DevOps experts Dave Nielsen and Jonathan Thorpe discuss: • Hidden costs of exclusively using open source or commercial software • Benefits of implementing commercial software and open source • Critical success factors to think about when choosing commercial software to exist with your open source software Discussion is followed by a demo of Serena’s release management solutions by Senior Solutions Architect Erika Marwood.TRANSCRIPT
