Data-driven DevOps: The Key to Improving Speed & Scale

As the creator of Jenkins, I get to see lots of real-world software development, and teams and organizations trying to push better DevOps practice forward. In those conversations, I noticed that some are more successful than others. In this talk, I will explore where those differences seem to be made.

One is around data. Our automation in software development is sufficiently broad that it is producing lots of data, but by and large, most of those are simply thrown away. Yet at the same time, the management is feeling like they are flying blind because they have little insight!

Another is around how they leverage “economy of scale.” Successful teams seem like they managed to drive great uniformity and consistency across software development, which allows organizations to move at great speed and make developers feel great.

Doing DevOps in the Data Science World

Many enterprises that want to become a data-driven organization start a separate data team in isolation. For the first exploration of data science and understanding its potential, that is fine. However, to become successful with data and deliver the promises of a data-driven organization, data science needs to be integrated into the organization and data scientists (and analysts) need to be able to use a mature self-service platform to develop their models.

In this talk, we emphasize the need for a self-service data platform to enable data science and we discuss approaches on how to organize data science in an enterprise setting using DevOps principles so that enterprises can accelerate their business value creation using data.

Key Takeaways

• Understand what DevOps principles are and what their value is,
• Understand the benefits of adopting DevOps principles in the data science world,
• Understand what a modern and mature data platform is,
• Understand how to organise your data science teams and what dilemma’s need to be taken into consideration.

Security is the enabler

Mikko will explain how security embedded in the operations culture enables greater productivity and creativity. He will provide guidance on how to transform your approach to security, going beyond simply ‘fixing the bugs’ and ‘defending the borders’ to focus on what really matters. With examples and case studies, Mikko shows us the way forward to a future where the security team always says ‘yes’.

DevOps Patterns and Antipatterns for Continuous Software Updates

So, you want to update the software for your user, be it the nodes in your K8s cluster, a browser on the user’s desktop, an app in the user’s smartphone or even a user’s car. What can possibly go wrong?

In this talk, we’ll analyze real-world software update that fails and how multiple DevOps patterns, that fit a variety of scenarios, could have saved the developers. Manually making sure that everything works before sending updates and expecting the user to do acceptance tests before they update is most definitely not on the list of such patterns.

Join us for some awesome and scary continuous update horror stories and some obvious (and some not so obvious) proven ideas for improvement and best practices you can start following tomorrow.

This talk is a collection of failure stories about software updates with advice on how to prevent those in your systems. As usual with epic failures talks, it’s educational and a lot of fun.

We’ll start by reviewing what are the driving forces behind software updates, how do we update, and why some update multiple times a day while others only update once a year. We’ll continue to review some of the epic fails, including Google WiFi, Knight Capital, CloudFlare, Jaguar and others. The patterns we are going to suggest are Canary Deployments, Observability, Local rollbacks, Feature Flags, and others.

Scaling DevSecOps to integrate security tooling for 100+ deployments per day

Through automated builds and deployments, teams can develop and run their services in production, including taking ownership of the quality of their services. Our next step at Unity has been to integrate security tooling better into the deployment process, e.g. avoiding container vulnerability scanning happening days or weeks after the actual deployment took place.

Configuration in Azure. Done right.

The session focusses on how to use a configuration in an Azure environment, enabling teams to get the most from their DevOps efforts while securing their resources.
