DevOps Unbound - Video

Day Two DevOps is a phase in the SDLC that focuses on enhancing, optimizing and continuously improving the software development and deployment processes to ensure increased efficiency, reliability and collaboration between development and operations teams. 
In this episode hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Ana-Margarita Medina (Lightstep), Bryan Cole (Tricentis), Adriana Villela (Lightstep) and Larry Maccherone (Contrast Security) for part six of the DevOps Building Blocks series. The panel explores how incorporating Day Two DevOps practices, including observability, testing and SRE, can significantly enhance your SDLC. We discuss the strategies and tools that empower DevOps teams to effectively manage and continuously improve application performance, reliability and overall operational excellence.

The DevOps process flow is about combining speed and agility with reliability and security to deliver the highest quality possible. But, what do you need to do to get it right? And what are the stages of the DevOps process flow? In part five of this series, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Bryan Cole (Tricentis), Ixchel Ruiz (Karakun AG) and Jeff Keyes (Planview) as we focus on the DevOps flow, continuous improvement and how to fit all the pieces together. We discuss the crucial components of the DevOps process flow, how to quickly identify and remediate bottlenecks and how to embrace collaboration and communication across DevOps teams.

Many organizations still make the mistake of treating security as an afterthought instead of considering it a top priority from the start, which can lead to breaches and major losses for their business. By adopting a DevSecOps approach throughout the SDLC, including Ops, to identify and address potential risks promptly.
In part 4 of this series, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Andi Mann (Sageable), Tracy Bannon (Mitre) and Kshitij Nigam (Tricentis) to discuss how to adopt a DevSecOps model and promote a security culture within an organization, so that security becomes a shared responsibility. We talk about shifting right and the essential strategies and best practices to bridge the gap between development, security and operations.

Many organizations still make the mistake of treating security as an afterthought instead of considering it a top priority from the start, which can lead to breaches and major losses for their business. By adopting a DevSecOps approach, security is integrated early in the SDLC to identify and address potential risks promptly.
In part 3 of this series, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Andi Mann (Sageable), Shannon Leitz (ThirdScore) and Tracy Bannon (Mitre) as we discuss how to adopt the "Sec" in the DevSecOps model and promote a security culture within an organization so that security becomes a shared responsibility. We talk about shifting left and the essential strategies and best practices to bridge the gap between development, security and operations.

Automation is the key to DevOps success, and CI/CD is the driving force behind it. The CI/CD pipeline is a series of automated workflows that help DevOps teams reduce manual tasks, achieve faster feedback, identify and fix issues early in the SDLC and improve the quality of software. However, keeping up with the latest CI/CD best practices and tools can be challenging.
In this episode, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Bryan Cole (Tricentis), Adam Arakelian (Dell), Jacqueline Porter (GitLab), Ravi Lachhman (Harness). This panel of DevOps leaders break down everything you need to know about CI/CD workflows to help you get started with your DevOps implementation. Our experts define CI and CD, share tips and tricks on how to build a CI/CD pipeline from scratch and discuss the best practices and key metrics to measure the success of your CI/CD pipeline.

Automation is critical to DevOps success. Test automation accelerates and simplifies the software development process, empowering DevOps teams to deliver high-quality, secure and reliable products to market faster without sacrificing crucial debugging and troubleshooting processes. Automated testing minimizes the chance of human error, removes redundancy and increases collaboration between DevOps and QA teams. On the other hand, over-automating can also be counterproductive. So how much test automation is too much? How do you find a balance? And what tools should you use? Join host Mitch Ashley and a panel of distinguished DevOps and QA leaders Tracy Ragan (DeployHub), Martin Klaus (Tricentis) and Raju Chavan (T-mobile) to discuss:- How automated testing empowers DevOps teams- How to incorporate automated and continuous testing into your DevOps workflow- How to scale automated testing- How to choose the right tools to make test automation smooth and easy
