DevOps Radio: A DevOps Transformation is Never “Done”

DevOps evangelist Brian Dawson is back in the host seat for Episode 42 of DevOps Radio, featuring Keith Pleas, DevOps architecture senior manager at Accenture and Stas Zvinyatskovsky, engineering leader, software architect and managing director at Accenture. With the entire software world changing, old practices have run their course and organizations are turning towards modern software engineering with DevOps.

This episode is all about defining the DevOps transformation. For Accenture, that means finding the sweet spot of continuous delivery (CD) that is DevOps and adding automated security to the process. In both Stas and Keith’s experience, organizations approach DevOps transformation as a checklist and expect to cross off each step and walk off into the sunset, when in fact they should be continuously adding capabilities so it’s never “done.” In order to achieve division of DevOps, organizations need to change the processes and practices to hit the speed, productivity and quality that cloud native companies are experiencing.

#206: Prototyping with Dave and Trent

Dave Rupert and Trent Walton crossover from ShopTalk Show to talk about how they use CodePen PRO to build better websites for their clients at Paravel, Inc.

Sponsor: Jetpack

Jetpack brings a wealth of features to your self-hosted WordPress site as one of the best no-brainer plugins for WordPress there is. One feature I just recently used for the first time was the video hosting and video player. I had a video clip that I just wanted to drag and drop into a blog post like I would an image, but it was a little too big. Fortunately I just uploaded it through WordPress.com, it was magically available in the Media dialog on my self-hosted site, and it worked perfectly.

DevOps Radio: State of DevOps Needs the Cloud, True Commitment [Podcast]

Host Andre Pino returns to the DevOps Radio mic to talk to Dr. Nicole Forsgren, CEO and Chief Scientist at DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA), during DevOps World | Jenkins World. Nicole brings strong developer content and amazing energy to the latest episode as she shares key stats from the 2018 Accelerate State of DevOps Report (of which CloudBees was a leading sponsor).

Before diving into the report, Dr. Forsgren describes her career path, from her start as a software engineer and acquiring her PhD, to joining Gene Kim and Jez Humble — both former Jenkins World keynotes and DevOps Radio alumnus — to launch DORA. The trio set out with the goal of sharing knowledge as a way for everyone to get better and to know what's possible when it comes to a DevOps transformation, which they've accomplished with the report, now in its fifth year.
