Bob Davis of Plutora on DevOps and Value Stream Mapping

I sat down with Sam Guckenheimer of Microsoft to talk about how he led the transformation of Microsoft Visual Studio to Visual Studio Online, a SaaS based offering. Along the way Sam and his team developed the 7 habits of successful DevOps, based on their experiences.

The 7 Habits of Successful DevOps

In this, world of massive cloud-based applications and services, rolling out software has moved from an episodic event to an almost continuous release cycle. In that environment, software products aren’t as “done” as they used to be -- they can’t be -- so the focus has shifted to reversibility. Building a development organization with the design tools and processes that can aggressively iterate while also creating safety nets. So if things do get screwy they can be fixed before customers even notice.

Call it DevOps or application operations, Steven Sinofsky leads a discussion with Karthik Rau from SignalFx and Alex Solomon from PagerDuty about the evolution of I.T. operations – and the requirements and challenges that modern distributed applications pose for a development organization.

a16z Podcast: Harnessing the DevOps Movement -- Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls

Deployment frequency, development lead time, MTTR, MTBF, code coverage, cycle time -- these metrics, like all metrics, can be absolutely key or utterly meaningless. Don't just ask which metrics to use. Ask how to use these metrics to deliver better software, faster.

CodeTalk Ep. 5: DevOps Metrics That Actually Mean Something (Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud)

In our inaugural episode we chat about devops with Steve Thair, CTO of DevOpsGuys. We also have a selection of events, resources and articles, on a variety of different topics. Enjoy!

The TechNet Pod is a monthly podcast that looks at what's been happening on Microsoft UK's technical channels, including TechNet UK, and the MSDevUK and TechNetUK Twitter accounts. For more information, including show notes and timestamps, check out the article for this episode: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/uktechnet/2017/02/14/technet-pod-1-the-techdays-online-one-ft-devops?wt.mc_id=AID603153_QSG_140441

TechNet Pod #1 - The TechDays Online One ft. DevOps

What happens when monolithic architectures are broken down into containers and microservices (or when things are broken down into smaller units, not just in infrastructure but perhaps even in company structure too)? From building more dynamic websites to monitoring the enterprise cloud to elastically scaling applications, where are developers in the enterprise going now and next?

This episode of the a16z Podcast, based on a panel by and for developers recorded at the a16z Summit in November 2017 and moderated by general partner Martin Casado, features Matt Billmann, CEO and co-founder of Netlify; Florian Leibert, CEO and co-founder of Mesophere; and Karthik Rau, CEO and co-founder of SignalFX.

a16z Podcast: Containing the Monolith -- From Microservices to DevOps

with Nicole Forsgren (@nicolefv), Jez Humble (@jezhumble) and Sonal Chokshi (@smc90)

From the old claim that "IT doesn't matter" and question of whether tech truly drives organizational performance, we've been consumed with figuring out how to measure -- and predict -- the output and outcomes, the performance and productivity of software. It's not useful to talk about what happens in one isolated team or successful company; we need to be able to make it happen at any company -- of any size, industry vertical, or architecture/tech stack. But can we break the false dichotomy of performance vs. speed; is it possible to have it all? 

This episode of the a16z Podcast boldly goes where no man has gone before -- trying to answer those elusive questions -- by drawing on one of the largest, large-scale studies of software and organizational performance out there, as presented in the new book, Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps -- Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim. Forsgren (co-founder and CEO at DevOps Research and Assessment - DORA; PhD in Management Information Systems; formerly at IBM) and Humble (co-founder and CTO at DORA; formerly at 18F; and co-author of The DevOps Handbook, Lean Enterprise, and Continuous Delivery) share the latest findings about what drives performance in companies of all kinds.

But what is DevOps, really? And beyond the definitions and history, where does DevOps fit into the broader history and landscape of other tech movements (such as lean manufacturing, agile development, lean startups, microservices)? Finally, what kinds of companies are truly receptive to change, beyond so-called organizational "maturity" scores? And for pete's sake, can we figure out how to measure software productivity already?? All this and more in this episode!

a16z Podcast: Feedback Loops -- Company Culture, Change, and DevOps

Если вы все еще думаете, что DevOps — это новый модный вид системных администраторов, то мы идем к вам! История DevOps, основные практики, используемые технологии, успешные и не очень кейсы внедрения  — как всегда, копнули в тему глубоко. Не забыли и про корни, затронув тему мобильного девопса. Погружаться помогал Иван Евтухович, CEO Express 42: ребята помогают компаниям внедрять DevOps уже более 5 лет. 
P.S И, конечно, выпуск не был бы полным без закапывания термина "DevOps-инженер"!
