You• Job function

– DBA, developer, both, other

• Languages– JavaScript, Java, APEX, other PL/SQL

• Agile

• Using DevOps

• Using cloud?– Oracle PaaS

– Oracle IaaS

– Other vendor’s cloud

4

Both Sides Now

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehowIt's cloud illusions I recall.

I really don't know clouds at all—Joni Mitchell

5

Reason for This Session

• Confluence of two events1. Experience reinstallation of CVS (version control

software) at client site• Procurement, installation, configuration, local developer installs

and documentation, repository migration, support cases

2. Oracle Developer Cloud Service Hands-on Lab• At Oracle OpenWorld 2016

• Example of agile development of a Java application

6

Agenda

• Intro to DevOps, Agile, and DevCS

• Team Development in DevCS

• Review and Resources

Slides are available in the conference app.

Promises of Cloud Computing• Scalability

– As your needs grow, you just increase service level• Classic example: website traffic from Super Bowl ads

• No extra resources needed on your side

• Reduction or elimination of onsite (“on prem”) infrastructure – Can you say “time-share” and “mainframe?”

• Someone else worries about compatibility, backup and recovery, upgrades

• Client access is “easy” and ubiquitous

9

Cloud Computing Concerns

• Security– Data– Accounts– Systems

• Loss of control, reliability of the internet and the vendor– Downtime

• Complexity, learning curve• Cost• Why change?

– The “earth-based” solution works fine.

10

On the Other Hand…

• Supporting the development life cycle can be challenging; example: CVS reinstall

• Many products to purchase/acquire, install, configure, train on

• Project tracking, file and information sharing (wikis)• Source code control system

– Software configuration management (SCM), file versioning

• Code review system• Testing system• Issue reporting system• Continuous integration (CI) – for example, nightly builds• Deployment tools

11

Cloud Computing Can Help• Oracle’s offering: Oracle Developer Cloud Service

– Free with any cloud account, including free trials

– Integrated DevOps environment that supports agiledevelopment methodology

– Supports “more than half of DevOps”

• But why use DevOps?

12

First: About Agile…an approach to software development under which requirements and solutions

evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end users(s). It advocates adaptive planning,

evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, and it encourages rapid and flexible response to change. (1)

(1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development

• Manifesto for Agile Software Development (2001)• Tasks collected into “sprints”

– A release with short development cycle like 2 weeks– Progress of sprints is tracked in “scrum boards”

• Very popular now• Agile approach led to need for DevOps

http://agilemanifesto.org/

Dilbert Definition

14

About DevOps• One definition:

• Merge of Software Development with Operations – Dev = development (analysis, design,

develop, test)– Ops = operations (deploy, monitor)

• Objective: faster delivery of application software solutions – Example: supporting agile sprints

• Phases (from Wikipedia)

DevOps is the practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service

lifecycle, from design through the development process to production support. (2)

15

More About DevOps

• Uses multiple tools– Development: code reviews, version control, bug tracking

– Continuous integration: frequent builds from version control• Grady Booch (UML “Gang of Three”) concept from 1991

• Popular products: Hudson (now Oracle’s), Jenkins (open source)– Hudson executes Maven, Ant, shell script, or Windows batch projects

– Continuous testing: automated tests

– Deployment: also automated

16

About Oracle Developer Cloud Service• A.k.a., “DevCS”

• A DevOps tool (“more than half of DevOps”)– Manage agile sprints

– Continuous anything: integration, test, build

• Supports multiple code disciplines– Java, JavaScript, PL/SQL (APEX, SQL)

– Others

• Can assist with project activities– Your choice – all or some

– Email notifications assist the work flow

17

DevCS Assists With These Activities• Plan and manage

– Issue tracking, team management, agile dashboard

• Code– Version management, code review, track changes

• Build and deliver– Continuous integration, orchestration, deployment

automation, Docker deployment

• Team collaboration– Activity stream, wiki, web dashboard

Not “free”

18

Getting Started• https://cloud.oracle.com/developer_service

• Obtain trial account– Click

“Try for Free”

– 300 USD credits or 30 days (whichever comes first)

19

Next• Welcome email with “Get Started” link

– Accesses your “Cloud My Services” site

• A “Core Technology Strategist” may call to find out if you need support

• You can work with most IaaS and PaaS services– Be careful to log out using the Sign Out page

• Conserve those trial credits

• Click “Ok” on the confirmation page

20

The “Free” Part• After 30 days or 300 USD credits have been used

– Notification of expiration– You will lose access if you don’t convert to paid

• So…– Convert to Paid

• DevCS is still free– It is a “foundation service” for Oracle Cloud– 20 Gb storage, git, issue tracking, team development

support, wiki– Build and deploy require for-cost compute and storage

instances

21

Important!• Be sure to convert to Upgrade to Paid after 30-day trial
