ABOUT ME

PREVIOUSLY IN ATLANTA

ARE ENTERPRISES READY FOR THE OPENSTACK TRANSFORMATION

● Openstack is not a product

● It will never be “enterprise ready” by itself

● License costs are marginal

● Concentrate on enabling beter processes

● And beter tools

● Transforming your enterprise to produce more value

TWO DIMENSIONS OF DEVOPS

STANDARDIZATION

• Operating systems (with patch levels)

• Application servers

• Libraries, Languages, Tooling

• Build and packaging technologies

• Commercial Off The Shelf

STANDARDIZE TECHNOLOGY

STANDARDIZE PROCESSES

• Systems Development Life Cycle

• Release management

• Monitoring

• Escalation management

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

DEVOPS

PEOPLE• Cultural paradigm shift

• Cross-training of skills

• Collaboration and involvement of teams across all aspects from designing through monitoring of application

• The question everyone should ask is “Is my application driving business value based on the state it is in now?”

• Short-lived and interim DevOps Enablement Team can be created in organizations

PROCESS• Agile methodologies

• Governance and continuous feedback loops to reduce and eliminate technical debt

• Defne metrics for measure

• Project is not done until the application is driving value for the customers and business

• Automate everything

• If something breaks, don’t hack. Fix the automation script and start over.

• Common frames of reference (for dev, qa and ops) for application monitoring in production

• Developers on call

PEOPLE

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

DEVOPS

TECHNOLOGY• Automation is key. OpenStack and

OpenShift provide lots of required automation capabilities out-of-the-box.

• Standardize software versions, patch levels, and provisioning mechanisms

• Faster application environment provisioning, root cause analysis

• Notifcations and pro-active monitoring

A SAMPLE ROADMAP

BACKGROUND

• IT has been externalized in a separate entty serving the group

• Fear about loss of data control

• Shadow IT is creeping up (AWS)

• External compettors to IT

Must ofer a cloud internally, but how?

Existence of IT at risk

Compliance risk

ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP

• 2 day workshop

• All stakeholders in the same room

• List of 40 use cases prepared in advance

MATURITY ASSESSMENT

• Migraton of VMs to OpenStack (IaaS)• Development of greenfeld applicatons in OpenShif (PaaS)• Basic systems provisioning through standardizaton

Self-provisioning of • Virtual Machines• Platorms• Applicaton Environments

• Contnuous Integraton• Infrastructure as code• Basic automaton & auto-scaling

• Templatze individual infrastructure ters; Containers

• Auto-Scaling, Pro-actve monitoring and automatc management

• Contnuous Deployment and push-buton applicaton deployments

• One deployment a day

• Templatze n-ter architecture ters and complex environments

• Advanced automaton capabilites• Multple deployments a day• Capabilites as a Service

Organizatonal

Maturity

FROM USE CASES TO POPULATIONSFrom the use cases, 3 discrete populaton groups emerged:

HIGH LEVEL ROADMAP

3 MILESTONES (1/3)

● Build a frst environment○ Used by CI for testng○ Contnuously Deployed

● Play ground for admins○ No producton impact, all tech features available

Goals:➔ Defne the frst version of the portal ➔ Propose an SLA for Devs

Milestone 1StandardizatonCommoditzaton

3 MILESTONES (2/3)

● Build a development environment○ First producton app (low hanging fruit)○ First reportng billing○ Deployed automatcally when test are ok in frst env

Goals:➔ Defne frst stacks template➔ Defne UI for applicaton provisioning➔ Propose the SLA for frst users

Milestone 2Ops and Devs join theirs eforts

3 MILESTONES (3/3)

Milestone 3End users results delivered

● Build a producton environment○ mult data center○ smart placement interface○ complete billing / reportng○ Deployed automatcally when validated by Dev

Goals:➔ Validate SLA + Functons➔ Defne next applicatons priorites

SUMMARY

PROBLEMS

● IT has been externalised in a separate entity serving the group

● Shadow IT is creeping up (AWS)

● IT also has external competitors

● Group is fearing loss of data control

● Offer an internal IaaS and PaaS Cloud

● Build a self service portals for Admins, Devs and Ops

● Organize small teams with cross roles members

● Use SCRUM to enable rapid feedback based adaptability

● Grow agile/devops awareness through contamination, not top down decision

● Use cloud as the opportunity to go devops

● Reduce time to market not only for IT assets but throughout the organisation

● Retain sensitive information internally

● Obtain clear reports on costs and purpose

● Grow self responsibility in all teams

● IT returns as a solution providers instead of a road block

● Refocused teams on solving business problems
