What is Java DevOps? Benefits, Considerations, Tutorials and More
By Angela Stringfellow
DevOps sees the coming together of practices, philosophies, and tools that
allow you to create services and applications very quickly. This means that
you can improve on your apps and evolve them at a much faster rate than those
developers who are using traditional software development processes. We’ve
talked about DevOps, in general, a great deal, but today, we’re going to
dig a little deeper and take a look at Java DevOps specifically.
What Is DevOps?
DevOps is simply a portmanteau of software DEVelopment and IT OPerations. It
was first called agile operations and involves different disciplines in
building, operating and evolving applications and services.
Using a DevOps model, you are bringing together your development team and
your operations team, and their work is no longer i... (more)

Culture: Change or Die
All organizations that did not originate this moment have a pre-existing
culture as well as legacy technology and processes that can be more or less
amenable to DevOps implementation. That organizational culture is influenced
by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider
culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key
team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched
interests usually throw a wrench in the works because of misaligned
incentives.

Are You Seeing DOTS? - Data Ownership and Transparent Surveillance
View Keynote: ▸ Here
Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here
The explosion of new web/cloud/IoT-based applications and the data they
generate are transforming our world right before our eyes. In this rush to
adopt these new technologies, organizations are often ignoring fundamental
questions concerning who owns the data and failing to ask for permission to
conduct invasive surveillance of their customers.

Organizations that are not transparent about how their systems gather data
telemetry without offering shared data ownership risk product rejection,
regulatory scrutiny and increasing consumer lack of trust in technology in

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)

Many organizations are now looking to DevOps maturity models to gauge their DevOps adoption and compare their maturity to their peers. However, as enterprise organizations rush to adopt DevOps, moving past experimentation to embrace it at scale, they are in danger of falling into the trap that they have fallen into time and time again.
Unfortunately, we've seen this movie before, and we know how it ends: badly.
For over a decade, Application Programming Interface or APIs have been used to exchange data between multiple platforms. From social media to news and media sites, most websites depend on APIs to provide a dynamic and real-time digital experience. APIs have made its way into almost every device and service available today and it continues to spur innovations in every field of technology.
There are multiple programming languages used to build and run applications in the online world. And just like every other language, there is always the need for an interpreter when trying to communicate with...
Data reduction delivers compelling cost reduction that substantially improves the business case in every cloud deployment model. No matter which cloud approach you choose, the cost savings benefits from data reduction should not be ignored and must be a component of your cloud strategy. IT professionals are finding that the future of IT infrastructure lies in the cloud. Data reduction technologies enable clouds — public, private, and hybrid — to deliver business agility and elasticity at the lowest possible cost, making cloud the deployment model of choice for IT infrastructure going forward....
Unlike legacy ERP systems that can cost several hundred thousand dollars in capital expenditure, cloud ERP is relatively a lot more affordable. They are also viewed as a lot more stable given that the data is stored on decentralized servers. But besides these, moving your ERP to the cloud can bring in a number of other lesser understood benefits.
In the decade following his article, cloud computing further cemented Carr’s perspective. Compute, storage, and network resources have become simple utilities, available at the proverbial turn of the faucet. The value they provide is immense, but the cloud playing field is amazingly level. Carr’s quote above presaged the cloud to a T.
Today, however, we’re in the digital era. Mark Andreesen’s ‘software is eating the world’ prognostication is coming to pass, as enterprises realize they must become software companies to remain competitive.
The value IT brings to such companies is unquestiona...
Companies have always been concerned that traditional enterprise software is slow and complex to install, often disrupting critical and time-sensitive operations during roll-out. With the growing need to integrate new digital technologies into the enterprise to transform business processes, this concern has become even more pressing. A 2016 Panorama Consulting Solutions study revealed that enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects took an average of 21 months to install, with 57 percent of these projects experiencing timeline overruns. A span of almost two years can be a long time when disr...
A common misconception about the cloud is that one size fits all. Companies expecting to run all of their operations using one cloud solution or service must realize that doing so is akin to forcing the totality of their business functionality into a straightjacket. Unlocking the full potential of the cloud means embracing the multi-cloud future where businesses use their own cloud, and/or clouds from different vendors, to support separate functions or product groups. There is no single cloud solution ideal for all applications, and some applications might not fit the cloud at all. For example...
The margins of cloud products like virtual machines are still in the 50% range. In essence, price drops are going to be a regular feature for the foreseeable future. This begets the question - are hosted solutions becoming irrelevant today? Boston-based market research firm, 451 Research, has been publishing their ‘Cloud Price Index' for a few years now. The quarterly study looks into the pricing of various offerings in the cloud market to understand the shifting dynamics in the public, private and hybrid cloud market. According to Dr. Owen Rogers from 451 Research, the approach here is simila...
Hybrid IT is today’s reality, and while its implementation may seem daunting at times, more and more organizations are migrating to the cloud. In fact, according to SolarWinds 2017 IT Trends Index: Portrait of a Hybrid IT Organization 95 percent of organizations have migrated crucial applications to the cloud in the past year. As such, it’s in every IT professional’s best interest to know what to expect.
