Nutanix Enterprise Cloud for DevOps
DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without
both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated
technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections
between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix
Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true
DevOps paradigm.
In their Day 3 Keynote at 20th Cloud Expo, Chris Brown, a Solutions
Marketing Manager at Nutanix, and Mark Lavi, a Nutanix DevOps Solution
Architect, explored the ways that Nutanix technologies empower teams to react
faster than ever before and connect teams in ways that were either too
complex or simply impossible with traditional infrastructures.

DevOps vs SRE vs Cloud Native
DevOps is under attack because developers don't want to mess with
infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to
use platforms instead of raw automation. That's changing the landscape that
we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and
process redefinition (SRE).

Rob Hirschfeld's recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the
conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we
should be thinking about DevOps and controlling infrastructure. The rise of
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is part of that redefinition of operations
vs development roles in organizations.

The Lean Cloud: The Need for Multi-Cloud DevOps
All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations
should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public
clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the
concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need
to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and
operational efficiency in the cloud.

Demystifying Kubernetes for Enterprise Developers
Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and
management of containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally built by
Google, leveraging years of experience with managing container workloads, and
is now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) project. Kubernetes has been
widely adopted by the community, supported on all major public and private
cloud providers, and is gaining rapid adoption in enterprises. However,
Kubernetes may seem intimidating and complex to learn. This is because
Kubernetes is more of a toolset than a ready solution. Hence it's essential
to know when and how to apply the appropriate Kubernetes constructs.

The Better Cloud Alternative
What You Need to Know
You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at
Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know
that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with
public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the
public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based
on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits
inherent in those technologies.
What do you do?

What Is Continuous Integration? (And What It Isn't)
By Ron Gidron
With continuous delivery (CD) almost always in the spotlight, continuous
integration (CI) is often left out in the cold. Indeed, it's been in use for
so long and so widely, we often take the model for granted. So what is CI and
how can you make the most of it? This blog is intended to answer those
questions.
Before we step into examining CI, we need to look back. Software developers
often work in small teams and modularity, and need to integrate their changes
with the rest of the project code base. Waiting to integrate code creates
merge conflicts, bugs that can be tricky to resolve, diverging code
strategies, and duplicated effort. Before CI, developers also had a problem
of wasted time: they compiled and built their changes multiple times a day on
their own machine and had to sit idle waiting for th... (more)
The use of containers by developers -- and now increasingly IT operators --
has grown from infatuation to deep and abiding love. But as with any
long-term affair, the honeymoon soon leads to needing to live well together
... and maybe even getting some relationship help along the way.
And so it goes with container orchestration and automation solutions, which
are rapidly emerging as the means to maintain the bliss between rapid
container adoption and broad container use among multiple cloud hosts.
This BriefingsDirect cloud services maturity discussion focuses on new ways
to gain container orchestration, to better use serverless computing models,
and employ inclusive management to keep the container love alive.

The need for greater agility and scalability necessitated the digital
transformation in the form of following equation: monolithic to microservices
to serverless architecture (FaaS). To keep up with the cut-throat
competition, the organisations need to update their technology stack to make
software development their differentiating factor.
Thus microservices architecture emerged as a potential method to provide
development teams with greater flexibility and other advantages, such as the
ability to deliver applications at warp speed using infrastructure as a
service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) environments.
The emergence of microservice was to break the monolithic applications into
smaller services, with each one of them having their own business logic. With
a monolithic architecture, a single faulty service can bring down the entire
app server and all t... (more)
Evaluating NFV and SDN: Key Considerations
Making informed network investment decisions about emerging technologies such
as network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking
(SDN) can help evolve the network to keep pace with the innovations of the
devices and people it's connecting. As you work with business leaders to make
decisions about upgrading your infrastructure with these networking
developments, it's important to understand the similarities, differences, and
benefits of dual NFV and SDN implementation.
With their ability to offer a new way to design, deploy, and manage the
network and its services, NFV and SDN should be incorporated into modern
enterprise networks and carrier infrastructures. However, lack of knowledge
about these technologies can result in poor networking investments and missed
opportunities to experience the benefits... (more)

How to Make Use of Serverless Compute Solutions for IoT Device Simulation
When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many
development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a
choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do
so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next
best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with
ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple
application or transport protocols, you would be looking at some significant
engineering investment.
On-demand, serverless computing enables developers to try out a fleet of
devices on IoT gateways with ease. With a sensor simulator built on top of
AWS Lambda, it's possible to elastically gener... (more)

The Road to a Cloud Adoption and Digital Transformation
In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business
technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to
innovation and transformation into digital enterprises.
The first path is the heritage trail - with "legacy" technology forming the
background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to
provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies
that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a leader in
the space, it's necessary to accommodate, incorporate, and exploit the new
breed of enterprise technologies - cloud, Big Data, and APIs.

In a recent survey, Sumo Logic surveyed 1,500 customers who employ cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). According to the survey, a quarter of the respondents have already deployed Docker containers and nearly as many (23 percent) are employing the AWS Lambda serverless computing framework.
It’s clear: serverless is here to stay. The adoption does come with some needed changes, within both application development and operations. That means serverless is also changing the way we leverage public clouds. Truth-be-told, many enterprise IT shops were so happy to get out of the management of physical servers within a data center that many limitations of the existing public IaaS clouds were forgiven. However, now that we’ve lived a few years with public IaaS clouds, developers and CloudOps pros are giving a huge thumbs down to the ...
From manual human effort the world is slowly paving its way to a new space where most process are getting replaced with tools and systems to improve efficiency and bring down operational costs. Automation is the next big thing and low code platforms are fueling it in a significant way.
The Automation era is here. We are in the fast pace of replacing manual human efforts with machines and processes. In the world of Information Technology too, we are linking disparate systems, softwares and tool...
