Bridging the gap between software development and operations so that you get the best out of your applications in the cloud.
Traditional Thinking around Development and Operations
Dev’s job is to add new features !
!
Op’s job is to keep the site stable and fast
ButDev’s job is NOT to add new features
!
!
Op’s job is NOT to keep the site stable and fast
Their job is to ENABLE their business
Your business REQUIRES change
Choose: !
Discourage change in the interests of stability !
OR !
Allow change to happen as often as it needs to

How do we enable change• Automation
• Continuous Integration/Delivery
• not just for application code
• JEDI - use the force Luke(Just Enough Developed Infrastructure)
• Small incremental changes
• NO BIG BANG
• revertible
• Fast detection of failures
How does AWS help?
Automation• CloudFormation
• NO manual creation of environments
• MUST BE Version controlled
• OpsWorks(or Chef/Puppet etc choose your poison)
• Simple WorkFlow
• Route 53
If it can’t be automated DON’T DO IT
Continuous Integration/Delivery• Every commit triggers a change
• including infrastructure changes
• AMI’s are your friends
• FAT vs Thin
• Dev’s and Ops doing it the same
• use the same tools (Vagrant, Packer, Chef/Puppet etc)
• Test the SH#T out of everything
Small incremental changes• Simplify the deployment process
• AMI’s as deployable artifacts
• Built and tested by CI process
• CloudFormation Stack Update and Rollback
• Make deploying FAST
• with little or no manual tasks
Fast detection of failures
• Monitor EVERYTHING
• CloudWatch - collect and push custom metrics
• S3 - Archive metrics even if your not using them right now. One day you will, trust me
• EMR - because it’s cool :)
The scenarioYou have an application that is developed by your dev team and you are running it
in AWS
• Working towards a go live date
• Timelines are tight
• Investment accountability
• Late nights and quick code releases
You have awesome developers
♫
You go-live and use your developers for support
• Diverts focus away from their dev work
• Need to learn infrastructure in detail
• Security and Optimisation are missed
• Experience in production Severity1 issues?
♫
What happens next?• 24x7 pager duty
• 3am issues
• Impact on developers time
• Come in late, tired and pissed off
• Missing daily stand ups
• Project slippage!
So, you hire an Ops guy as well• You have to find one first
• Recruiters ;)
• Seek?
• Dev principles are not followed
• Works 24x7, gets sick
• Roadblocks ensue
• Leaves!
