Velocity requires..

Developers

Platforms based on components

Abstractions for higher order products

GitOps Practices for many deployments per day

Cloud Native Tools

Developers

If you can merge a pull request, then you are a developer

“One of the most impressive things I saw during DockerCon was the OpenFaaS project…I was blown away by the simplicity of OpenFaaS”

Platforms & Componentization

Awesome Herb Simon quote

Who wants to build a toaster?

When the components may be combined to create a platform, higher order systems emerge at rapid and accelerating speed

Platforms→Speed

Abstraction is necessary for productivity

• Explosion of higher order systems• Lower barriers to entry• New ways of working cloud leads to devops cloud native leads to gitops

ServerlessMachine LearningWebDataIoT…..and more to come…..

GitOps is the Practice

High Performance Teams

High-performing teams deploy more frequently and have

much faster lead times

They make changes with fewerfailures, and recover faster

from failures

200x more frequentdeployments

Meet Qordoba

● SF based team use machine learning to create ”local” marketing UX for big brands

● Rapid iteration while obeying SOC2 compliance

● Google Cloud – Kubernetes Engine & Container Builder

● Weave Cloud – GitOps

GitOps: The Effect of moving to 30+ deployments per day per team

1) Estimated time needed to fix prod software bugs ~60% less time after using Weave Cloud

2) Estimated time to respond to customer requests ~43% less time after using Weave Cloud

3) Uptime last month 100% before Weave was 99%

Customer tools: Jenkins, GKE and Weave Cloud. Apps: web, ML.

ONLY what can be described and observed can be automated and controlled and accelerated

• Config is code

• Code must be version controlled

• Config must be version controlled too

GitOps follows the Logic of DevOps

GitOps follows the Logic of DevOps

• Config is code

• Code must be version controlled

• Config must be version controlled too

• What can be described can be automated

• Describe everything: code, config, monitoring & policy; and then keep it in version control; and use Cont Delivery

Before After

• We use declarative infrastructure ie. Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, & more

• Our entire system including code, config, monitoring rules, dashboards, is described in GitHub with full audit trail

• We can roll our major or minor changes as pull requests, and automatically check for diffs if system diverges from the desired “source of truth” in Git

Cloud Native Tools

Standard Components for the Platform

1. Evolution of Cloud to meet real large scale enterprise needsa. Choice of providers (AWS/GCP/Azure/..) b. Build to scale using automated operationsc. Easy access to new services eg AI/ML

2. Enabling much higher velocity product innovation via small joined-up teams using continuous, iterative DevOps practices

3. Creating new products and customer experiences via biggest industry ‘tectonic shift’ since Web commerce in 1990s

What is Cloud Native

40

Today the Linux Foundation is much more than Linux

We are helping global privacy and security

through a program to encrypt the

entire internet.

Security NetworkingWe are creating

ecosystems around networking to

improve agility in the evolving

software-defined datacenter.

CloudWe are creating a portability layer for

the cloud, driving de facto standards and

developing the orchestration layer

for all clouds.

AutomotiveWe are creating the

platform for infotainment in the auto industry that can be expanded

into instrument clusters and

telematics systems.

BlockchainWe are creating a permanent, secure distributed ledger

that makes it easier to create

cost-efficient, decentralized

business networks.

We are regularly adding projects; for the most up-to-date listing of all projects visit tlfprojects.org

41

WebWe are providing the

application development

framework for next generation web, mobile, serverless,

and IoT applications.

ContainersCloud Native

From Virtualization to Cloud Native

42

•Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to:– segment applications into microservices,– package each part into its own container– and dynamically orchestrate those containers

to optimize resource utilization
