The 7 Habits of Successful DevOps

Microservices and Containers: Mastering the Re-Platforming of the IT Infrastructure The re-platforming of the enterprise IT infrastructure is no small undertaking and is usually provoked by a shifting set of key business drivers. That is precisely the case today. The term digital transformation is in the hearts, minds and on the lips of top-level business executives and IT leaders alike. The underlying traditional or legacy infrastructures that have dominated enterprise IT for nearly 30 years simply cannot handle the workloads or power the applications that will drive business decisively forward. Both microservices and containers are destined to play a major role in this enterprise re-platforming, for different reasons. Containers for their part hold significant benefits both for developers and the development effort as well as for the organization itself. Understanding this range of benefits is instrumental to securing IT budget for containers going forward.In this interview, Jim Scott, director, enterprise strategy and architecture at MapR, can discuss the most promising and compelling tools, technologies and solutions destined to play a major role in this re-platforming of the enterprise. Jim will highlight how to stay one clear step ahead as IT undertakes what is arguably its most mission-critical task in a generation.

There were several incident management vendors who were "DevOps native" in the market. But with the maturity of the DevOps movement and the adoption of DevOps by organizations large and small, larger more established incident management firms have taken their own lessons in adopting DevOps to tailor their solutions for DevOps. Everbridge is one of those companies. A public company, Everbridge is bringing their best in class solution to the DevOps market.I spoke with Prashant Darisi, VP of Products there about this and more. Have a listen.

Scaling your testing is the scourge of many software teams. While test automation and continuous testing have made great strides, it is still hard to automate every QA test. Also engineering resources who can script these tests are hard to find.  Enter Rainforest.  Rainforest has a unique crowdsourcing solution to continuous testing. It combines crowdsourcing talent with automation to deliver a high level of quality assurance on a continuous basis. In this chat we spoke with CIO Derek Choy as he explains to us why Rainforest in some ways can be the Uber of QA.

Using any tool or technology because it is the "cool thing to do" is never a good idea. In this DevOps Chat, we speak with Flint Brenton, CEO of Collabnet.

Picking the right tool for the job is as important as doing the job itself. Flint also gives us some good background on CollabNet which has been servicing the developer and ops communities long before DevOps was cool
