What is DevOps essentially? The answer lies far beyond a set of tools and automation applied to orchestrate a single idea through production. DevOps is largely a Mindset and the main idea of this talk is to bring about the crucial aspects of a DevOps Transformation highlighting the role of Mindset in different facets of the transformation canvas. How do you transform a monolithic enterprise? Where do you start from? What are the skills you need? How do you ensure you are not compromising on security?

Digital transformation guarantees 2 things : more change and scale. To move fast enterprise needs to break things into smaller chunks – Agile and DevOps enables this. It is said by 2030 Agile and DevOps would have become standard delivery method adopted by organizations across the globe to keep pace with this rate of change. Does this apply only to new projects ?

Can we transform our current in-flight projects to embrace agile and DevOps ?

In this session I will narrate a real story of a transformation journey of 30 projects from Agile to DevOps. I will discuss how we

Assessed and analyzed the projects ( #30) and categorized them as per maturity levels ( Agile Compatibility Score and DevOps maturity score) Coached and mentored the project team members on Agile and DevOps practices Monitor the transformations up the maturity level Challenges faced in the transformation journey Agile-DevOps

A Project managers role in this entire transformation journey Business Value achieved : Improved collaboration within the team and across the teams. Learning and growth for me as a project manager and for our team in terms of Agile, DevOps practices Improved margins on our projects, we could achieve more with less Revenue generation opportunities

The situation becomes more complicated when your application is having several independent Microservices and each Microservice has its own deploy and runtime configuration per environment. The challenges occurs when one Microservice is having runtime dependency on another Microservice for service to service communication.

How do we manage the CI/CD for Microservices with resilience?

Describe what you expect the audience to gain from your presentation.

This presentation will help the audience to understand how DevOps helps you harness the main benefit of Microservices for Speedy delivery and Automate the process that Underlies Your Microservices

One of the biggest miss we as Change agents and leaders do is to focus only on 2 Quotients of Intelligence (Intelligent and Emotional). However for a complete transformation of our self, teams and enterprise we work with is to focus on the third and the most crucial & overlooked dimension i.e. Spiritual Intelligence/Quotient (SQ).

This proposed talk attempts to demystify What Spiritual Intelligence is, Why is it Important and How it is one of the most critical components to enable enterprise wide culture and workplace transformation.

This session is based on the work done by industry stalwarts Danah Zohar and Cindy Wigglesworth. However I will be sharing my own experiences gained during my wide range of coaching engagements and how I learnt Spiritual Intelligence the hard way as a change agent & coach.

DevOps (development and Operations) is an enterprise software development phrase which brought a new agile relationship between development and Operations. Though people feel the buzz word has more of its importance in the cloud computing world but it’s a much needed approach even with enterprise.

DevOps is a term for a group of concepts that, while not all know, have catalyzed into a movement and are rapidly spreading throughout the technical community. Like any new and popular term, people have somewhat confused and sometimes contradictory impressions of what exactly it is. The Goal of DevOps has often been described in terms of CAMS: Culture, Automation, Measuring and Sharing. While we’ve seen a lot of focus on the “A” and even on the “M”, there are very few examples of why the “C" is equally important in the DevOps equation. "It worked fine in testing!" says the Development Team. "We had no visibility to production infrastructure needs until a week ago!" says the Operations Team. Does any of this sound familiar? If yes, please join me in sharing my thoughts towards this new shift of cultural change, which can help all of us to align in competitive time to market advantage; being at risk where the business is at an inflection point.

Fundamentally, Site Reliability Engineering(SRE) is what happens when you ask a Software Engineer to design an operation function. It seeks to balance the risk of unavailability of the services with the goals of rapid innovation and efficient service operations, so that users’ overall happiness—with features, service, and performance—is optimized. Site Reliability Engineers(SREs) are specialists in making changes safely even in complex environments. SREs always focus on constantly improving the availability, performance, and capacity of the systems, to make them more reliable. In this presentation, I would like to cover What is SRE, What is the role of SREs, What are the building blocks of SRE, What is the relationship between DevOps & SRE and how SRE implements DevOps principles to make the systems & services more reliable.
