●   Devops is a growing movement
●   We don't have all the answers yet
●   We are reaching out to different communities
●   We will point out problems we see..
●   Only the name is new




          While we are still working out the solutions
Devops, a definition:
●   Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management
    must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership
    for change.
●   Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for massive
    inspection by building quality into the product in the first place.
●   Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve
    quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.
●   Institute training on the job.
●   Institute leadership The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and
    gadgets do a better job.
●   Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.
●   Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and
    production must work as a team, in order to foresee problems of production and
    usage that may be encountered with the product or service.
●   Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects
    and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships,
    as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and
    thus lie beyond the power of the work force.

              ●
                  Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers
                  and numerical goals. Instead substitute with leadership.

              ●
                  Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of
                  workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from
                  sheer numbers to quality.

              ●
                  Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of
                  their right to pride of workmanship.
●   Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.
●   Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The
    transformation is everybody's job.

What's the problem ?
The community of developers whose work you
see on the Web, who probably don’t know what
ADO or UML or JPA even stand for, deploy better
systems at less cost in less time at lower risk than
we see in the Enterprise. This is true even when
you factor in the greater flexibility and velocity of
startups.

The real problem :
●   Friday evening at 16:59
    “Put this Code Live, here's a tarball”
    NOW!
●   Backups ?
●   What database ?
●   Security ?
●   High Availability ?
●   Scalability ?
●   Who is on Call ?
How did we get here ?
A typical dev shop
●   The PM:

•Marketing Campain is launched
•We need this yesterday
•It's going on national radio at 5

●   What dependencies ?

●   What database ?

●   My computer can't install this ?
Devs vs Ops
10 days into production
●   What High Load ? What Memory usage ?
●   Are these Logs ? Or this is actualy customer
    data ?
●   How many users are there , should they launch
    100 queries each ?? Oh we're having 10K
    users
●   Why is debugging enabled ?
●   Who the fsck wrote this crap ?
11 days into production
Is it really that bad ?
   How about Drupal ?
A survey started a year ago.
We can solve this !
         ●   Some people think
             the Ops work starts
             on deployment
         •Ops = both system,
         app as platform !
         ●   It starts much earlier
         ●   Get Devs and Ops to
             talk asap

Devs    Ops    Getting Along
Nirvana
An “ecosystem” that supports continuous delivery, from
infrastructure, data and configuration management to
business.
Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing
process, and improved collaboration between developers,
testers, and operations, delivery teams can get changes
released in a matter of hours — sometimes even minutes–no
matter what the size of a project or the complexity of its code
base.

Do YOU test your code ?

●   What other platforms
    do you use :
Sharing environments

●   Build identical environments
●   Share code
●   Shared ownership of content , code and
    configuration
Vagrant
●   Abstraction layer for VirtualBox
●   Integrates well with Puppet/Chef
●   Project =

●   Portable, Small , Versionable
●   Use veewee to build your boxen
Vagrantfile
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|

●   Vagrant destroy

●   Automated Deployments
●   If my computer can't install it , the installer is
    borken
●   Reproducable
●   With configuration mgmt
●   Think :
•Cfengine,Puppet, Chef
●   Put configs under version control
Deployment
●   Database Imports are
    EVIL
●   Manual Installations
    are
         ●
             Error Prone       How do you deploy ?

         ●
             Non

●   61% does it WRONG
                            Do you Test Deployments ?
Looking for ?
“As a system administrator, I can tell when software
vendors hate me. It shows in their products.”

“DON'T make the administrative interface a GUI. System
administrators need a command-line tool for constructing
repeatable processes. Procedures are best documented
by providing commands that we can copy and paste from
the procedure document to the command line. We cannot
achieve the same repeatability when the instructions are:
"Checkmark the 3rd and 5th options, but not the 2nd
option, then click OK." Sysadmins do not want a GUI that
requires 25 clicks for each new user.”
                        Thomas A. Limoncelli in ACM Queue December 2010

                                http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1921361
If my computer can't deploy your site,
       it isn't worth deploying.

Challenges
●   What about the data ?
●   Content vs Config
•Drupal provides no clear distinction
●   e.g a billing application
•Table Creation
•Provisioning (e.g. Rates, Call plan types)
•Actual Data
●   D8 ?
Devops a definition
●   There is no definition
●   It certainly isn't a person
●   No strict rules
●   No strict tools
●   It's not even new
●   If you aren't doing it already ...
    .. failure is upon you ...
Conclusions
●   Drupal gets it and is supportive
●   Conversation happens
●   Long Journey ahead
●   Heading in the right direction
Surviving the test !
          ●   After 5+ years of
              preaching I`m not
              alone anymore
          ●   Devops, a new
              Movement !
          ●   Join the movement !
