Management
• What is meant by an “Application”?
• Presentation Layer
• Application & Environment Configurations
• Application Layer
• Services
• Containers & Frameworks
• Packaged Solutions
• Database & Data

8. DevOps Challenges: Infrastructure
Management
• What is meant by “Servers” and “End Points”?
• Physical Servers
• Virtualised Servers

14. Release Automation Challenges
• Organisations accumulate fragmented point solutions,
• Multiple Application and Component versions,
• Interlinking dependencies between Applications and Components
• Fragmented Applications & Infrastructure Management
• Infrastructure scale and complexity; Physical, Virtual, Cloud
• Implementation and ownership costs; CapEx / OpEx
• Differing and combined process methods; Waterfall, Agile, Iterative
• Managing and delivering incremental change; Application and Database
• Release Management; fragmented manual processes
• Diverse platforms and infrastructure
• No clear visualisation and management across the IT organisation

17. Dynamic DevOps: The
Solution
A brief overview of how OpenMake addresses the challenges of DevOps

18. Abstraction allows us to extract
purpose and simplicity from an
otherwise complex, overwhelming
and seemingly random process.

19. Applications: Abstract the Complexity
• Define an Application,
• Define the Application’s
Components,
• Define the Components’ location.

20. Infrastructure: Abstract the Complexity
• Define an Environment,
• Define the Environment’s Servers,
• Define the Servers’ attributes.

22. Actions Killed Scripts
• Scripts:
• Automate manual tasks
• Costly to develop and maintain
• Uncontrolled growth
• Do not scale
• Actions automate everything:
• Deployments (Packaged &
Bespoke)
• Builds (Meister, Jenkins,
Hudson)
• Server Provisioning (Azure,
EC2)
• Performance Monitoring
• Tasks; WebSphere, WebLogic…

23. Control, Manage, Visualise, Streamline
• Schedule a ‘No Touch’
Deployment
• Version Specific Deployments
• Prevent Deployments
• Reserve ‘One Touch’
Deployments

34. “Deployments are fully automated and are
carried out more often. Our testing has
become more effective and our Releases are
managed by Release Managers, no
longer by technicians.”
- Henning Kristensen

35. Summary
• More frequent (RE) and quicker (P4) system Releases
• Fewer Release failures
• Release Management Cost savings (~90%)
• Competitive advantage in the market:
• Reduce time to market (target: 20%)
• Increased customer acquisition (target: 22%)
• Increased revenue (target: 19%)
• Improved morale – less manual, mundane tasks
• Empower non-technical resources

36. Innovate. Compete. Grow.
