Overview

 

IDC DevOps Digital Forum

 

The ability to rapidly develop digital innovation (digital products and services) is clearly recognized as a core competitive requirement. Software dev and delivery capabilities to drive product and service innovation are identified as the top 2021 investment priority.

Business leaders recognize that software is central to digital innovation and that organizations must become software producers at increasing speed and scale. DevOps practices go hand in hand with digital innovation and there is now concrete evidence that DevOps delivers business results.

The challenge for CIOs is to ensure that enterprise-scale DevOps is achievable. To enable DevOps to become business as usual, organizations must rethink business alignment and governance processes, but also consider tool complexity, culture, automation strategies, organizational goals, skills and sourcing models. CIOs will have to find ways to manage development and delivery processes, to keep all parties aligned, in sync and focused on business value delivery.

Empowered DevOps: Fact or Fiction?

Jennifer Thomson

Senior Research Director & Lead Accelerated App Delivery Practice, IDC

As software engineering teams scale quickly organizations must focus on the right tactics to manage, empower and drive growth at scale. Enabling software innovation and DevOps at scale requires effort and a continual learning mindset. There's no room for complacency as the competitive landscape is ever more software development driven. Organizations must use tactics that drive accuracy, repeatability, and transparency across dev and delivery teams to win. 

Today, 80% of large European organizations have adopted DevOps practices and methodologies, but only 10% excel in terms of accelerated performance and delivery cycles. The result - empowered DevOps is still more of a vision than a reality!  The motivation to scale capabilities is evident but there needs to be material progress.  This keynote will discuss:

  • The journey to empowered DevOps and how organizations can empower and enable teams with modern tools and architecture
  • Accelerating cultural transformation: the challenge is not just legacy code but also rigid organizational designs and project management mindsets
  • Key investment tactics and priorities — creating a road map to maximise DevOp at scale success

The Demand for Kubernetes Backup, DR, and App Mobility

Michael Cade

Senior Global Technologist, Veeam

As businesses find their footing in the cloud-native world, demand for Kubernetes-native solutions that address key “Day 2” operational challenges like backup, disaster recovery and the portability of Kubernetes applications in production is surging.

There is a rapid increase in demand for automated data management capabilities that can support operations across growing deployments of cloud-native applications.

This session will highlight those shift left requirements around data management and highlight the key challenges businesses will face if not approached the right way.

Will Cappelli

DevOps Specialist, Splunk
Observability is a critical component of the DevOps process but Observability cannot deliver on its promise without the support of AI for rapid pattern discovery and diagnostics.

Test automation reaches a DevOps tipping point

Alexander Mohr

Product Manager, Tricentis

For years, organizations have only automated about 20% of their total test suites, on average. A new survey conducted by Tricentis & TechWell shows that a major increase in test automation rates occurred in 2020 – along with a significant shift in the way testing is perceived.

Join us to learn how testing has changed, new approaches out there like contract tests, feature flags, release on demand, collaboration across teams, and the key insights that can help you accelerate your organization’s journey to DevOps and test automation maturity.

We will cover:

  • How (and why) test automation reached a tipping point in 2020
  • New approaches to testing
  • How major shifts in the way we work have affected the role of testing, how testers spend their time, and more
