The document discusses how open source tools and practices can help empower technical teams undergoing digital transformation projects. It outlines how open source allows for faster development through practices like DevOps, social coding, and continuous integration/delivery. Open source also facilitates fast deployment of infrastructure and applications through automation, containers, and configuration management. It enables organizations to fail fast by having a low barrier to testing code. Open source is also well-suited to supporting 24/7 operations through distributed systems, public cloud, and rethinking team structures. Open source technologies are built to handle large unknown scales due to their use by internet giants.

4. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Many definitions, many processes, ….

5. But clear impact on Technical teams of organisations aiming to transform :
• Pace of innovation has to increase
• Faster & better development
• Fail fast
• Faster deployments of infrastructure & applications
• Move to a 24/7 organisation
• Unknown scale of operations
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

6. FASTER DEVELOPMENT
DEVOPS, CI/CD, …
• All practised & supported in the Open Source world
• Tools built to manage code commits in the open source communities
• GIT
• Jenkins
• …

7. FASTER DEVELOPMENT
SOCIAL CODING
• Share code in all departments
• Re-use code
• Read code to learn

8. FAST DEPLOYS of INFRA & APPS
AUTOMATE, AUTOMATE, AUTOMATE
• Containers
• Config Management
• Testing
• Monitoring & Logging

9. FAIL FAST
• Low barrier to use Open Source :
Design & modify when needed
• Low cost of change (design
with interchangeable components)
• Get code out fast to testers ( CI/CD)
• No software €€ involved during
design

10. MOVE TO 24/7
• Rethink designs
• Containers
• Distributed systems
• (Public) Cloud + On Premise
• Rethink Teams / support
• AIOPS
• Machine Learning

11. UNKNOWN SCALE
• Open Source is built/used by the internet Giants
• It CAN scale
• Licensing models do not hinder scaling
• Vendors working together to tackle scale in OSS communities
• Openstack Foundation
• Linux Foundation in IOT space : EdgeXfoundry.org
