How to improve your DevOps capability in 2020

We’ve got DevOps in place. Then what?

In our presentation we present three actions you can take to improve your DevOps capabilities, as well as how you can make your work more efficient and more enjoyable. This applies to all of you regardless of your current DevOps capabilities and maturity level.

As the lockdown shock has leveled, and most organizations have established their remote working processes, it’s time to take a look at the current DevOps trends against organizations on different maturity levels. This presentation gives you ideas how you can improve your tooling, culture or processes, regardless if you are in the beginning or already advanced in your DevOps journey.

Panel discussion resilience and antifragility

Events like the COVID-19 outbreak put every organization or team under stress, and reveal their points of failures.  Software development organizations are no exception. Situations such as COVID-19 outbreak can cause a long
outstanding disruption. Software development organizations should take advantage of the current crisis to become antifragile. How do they then make their organization more resilient using DevOps principles?

Host of the discussion: Christina Forsgård, Founder of Netprofile

Ethics Chair at ICCO (International Communications Consultancy Organisation), communications consultant specialized at cyber crisis communications and management, social media strategist, speaker, influencer, angel investor, startup coach, advisor and board member, and the co-author of social media book SUHDE. Christina was nominated among TOP100 ICT Influencers in Finland in 2009. From 2009 to 2014, Christina was the Chairman of MTL Communications Consultancies and was the Finnish representative at ICCO.

Panelists:
Mikko Kemiläinen, co-founder and Managing Director, Resilience Factory

He has close to 30 years of leadership experience in line management in national and multinational organizations in Finland and abroad, out of which last 15 years as a Leadership Team member.
Based on his work with a resilience he was invited to co-author in creating the Idea for Finland in the future (Suomen Idea).
Mikko is passionate about people and bottom-line performance, in other words, how leadership and organizational performance are interlinked with each other.

Jyrki Kasvi, digital influencer, Tieke Finnish Information Society Development Centre

Ph.D. (tech) Jyrki Kasvi is a former Member of Parliament, research scientist and computer game journalist working at the moment as a digital influencer. He has been an active promoter of digitalization for decades, publishing several books and countless articles about computers and information society.

The role of technology in agile transformations
Improving and automating IT processes are key steps towards business agility and continuous delivery and DevOps are two crucial ingredients to creating a faster and more agile organization. However, what changes in technology need to happen to make a real impact? Why are so many organizations still struggling?

In this talk, we will explore how new technologies can help drive your agile transformation. For example, if you move to cloud, what is really happening behind the scenes? We’ll show how team responsibilities, application landscape architecture and delivery pipelines change to drive agile transformation.

Secondly, we’ll focus on how to drive your IT transformation while adopting new technologies, with examples and experiences from large enterprises and a special focus on these factors:

• Quality-first thinking to improve customer satisfaction and engineering capacity
• Connected pipelines to bring disciplines together
• Building repeatable delivery patterns to accelerate your business

MultiCloud maturity
Cloud-native development keeps growing so assessing your software development efforts to understand the benefits of moving to the Cloud is more relevant than ever.

Practical DevSecOps Using Security Instrumentation
The traditional “outside in” scanning and firewalling approach to application security has failed. After decades of attempts to improve software security, vulnerability rates are still staggering while attacks are increasing in volume and severity. We need a new approach to security that doesn’t slow development or hamper innovation. In this talk, we will show how you can ensure software security from the “inside out” by leveraging the power of software instrumentation. Unlike scanning and firewalling, this approach establishes a safe and powerful way for development, security, and operations teams to collaborate. In this talk, we’ll show how software security instrumentation works, how it’s being used in many organizations, and what the future holds for DevSecOps.

Survival of the most open: Microsoft’s Open Source Journey

10 years ago, Microsoft considered open source “a cancer”. Today, the world has changed. Open source is now an integral part of every software application, GitHub has become the largest developer community on the planet, and Microsoft is one of the largest contributors to open source.

It doesn’t matter if you are a hobbyist, a start-up, or a bank, if you are flying rockets to the planets or even taking pictures of a black hole, open source is now vital to how you build software. Sasha will share the highlights from Microsoft’s historical pivot to open source, explain how even the unlikeliest companies can learn to successfully contribute to open source, and how you can apply the mindset of openness and collaboration “within your firewall” to empower your organization to achieve more.

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.

Best practices for securing your deployments involve running security scanning tools as early as possible during your CI/CD pipeline, not as an isolated step after service has been deployed to production.

This session will cover best security practices for securing your build and deployment pipeline, by showing how we have integrated security tools into our common build and deployment pipeline, allowing teams to easily take these into use for their services. The presentation will also include examples of actual tools along with our findings during this process.

Audience Takeaways

• Security in a DevOps culture
• Overview of best practices of DevSecOps and CI/CD
• Integrating security tooling into a deployment pipeline, with code examples from Jenkins
• Which tools we are using at Unity, and our experience with these

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.

Moving 100,000 Engineers To DevOps ON The Public Cloud

This is the story of transforming Microsoft to using Azure DevOps and GitHub with a globally distributed 24x7x365 service on the public cloud. We’ll show you round the system that handles the load of some of the most demanding engineering teams in the world and share some stories about how they got there.

Description:
This is a ten-year story of moving to Cloud-First Development and modern DevOps practices, supporting an internal engineering organization of 100,000+, while growing both the SaaS and traditional software business.

This experience report covers organizational and engineering practices in five areas:

• Customer Obsession
• You Build It, You Love It
• Team Autonomy and Enterprise Alignment
• Shift-Left and Shift-Right Quality
• Managing Infrastructure as a Flexible Resource

The talk covers the combined evolution of practices, tools, and culture.
