    Webinar:  How to Achieve Continuous Delivery Without Downtime
    
			
    Webinar:  How to Achieve Continuous Delivery Without Downtime
    
			
    Today’s businesses demand quick access to new technology, which means they need shorter release cycles and centralized control of both your on and off premise resources. Integrating cloud resources into your traditional datacenter management can prove challenging and time consuming at best. What if you could increase your organization’s ability to innovate utilizing business automation to bridge the gap to the cloud?
    

    This webinar will be looking at how you can:
    

      

    • Automate your deployment of code updates with the correct configuration
      • 

    • Reduce errors by automating manual steps and scripts
      • 

    • Achieve quicker deployment times to meet business demands
      • 

    • Integrate with Jenkins build management
      • 

    

    Join us on February 18th as Tom Flitter, Director of Applications and Integrations at TASC, discusses how TASC solved long release cycles, extended service downtimes per release, and highly manual processes for releasing their main application across all environments.

    As containers grow in importance, Linux distributions focused on container performance and management also are becoming mainstream. One of the most prevalent of these distributions is CoreOS. But how are real businesses using containers and CoreOS, and how are they monitoring container performance. After attending this webinar, you will have a better understanding of: * What is CoreOS and how does it work with containers * The trends in container usage and CoreOS * The key performance metrics you need to keep an eye on * How to manage performance as the container deployments grow This webinar will be led by Kelsey Hightower from CoreOS and Matt Williams from Datadog and they will leave plenty of time for all of your CoreOS, Containers, and Performance questions. By the end of the session, attendees will have a list of key performance metrics for containers on CoreOS they can start monitoring today.

    What is DevOps Connect? Great question. DevOps Connect is the new name for the Camp DevOps brand we have run here at devopsy.kinsta.cloud.  We felt that Camp DevOps sounded too much … well, like a camp. DevOps Connect is so much more.  We will hold DevOps Connect events at existing conferences such as this one at RSA Conference, as well as standalone events in cities around the globe.
    

    DevOps Connect: SecOps edition will be focused on DevOps and security’s role in the software development lifecycle. The agenda, sessions and speakers will be chosen by our program committee.  I am very happy to report that the committee is chaired by Josh Corman and Gene Kim, with the assistance of myself and Mark Miller, organizer of theNexus community. A formal call for speakers will be announced shortly.
    

    We anticipate over 7 hours of sessions followed by the 2nd annual DevOps wining, not whining happy hour brought to you by Sonatype, IT Revolution Press and devopsy.kinsta.cloud at a location to be announced.

    1. Admission is free to all RSA badge holders, regardless of level. However you must pre-register for the event when you register for RSA Conference.
      2. 

    2. At the DevOps Connect website there is a code to save $100 dollars on an RSA Conference full conference pass.
      3. 

    3. We are limited to 600 attendees, so pre-registration is a must if you want to guarantee you are admitted. Attendance and registration is on and is on a first come first serve basis
      4. 

    4. Sessions will feature keynotes (Gene Kim will deliver one), panel discussions and multi-track topics.
      5. 

    5. DevOps Connect will be at Moscone West on Monday of RSA week.

    We recently held another webinar in our continuing series at devopsy.kinsta.cloud. We partnered with the good people at CloudBees on CI and CD across the enterprise with Jenkins. The webinar featured:
    

    Cyrille Le Clerc  is Director of Product Management at CloudBees with more than 15 years experience in Java.  Prior to CloudBees, Cyrille was Chief Technology Officer at Xebia.  As an early adopter of  the “you build it you run it” model, he put it in place for a number of high volume web sites.  He naturally embraced DevOps culture.  He is also very active in the Java community, creator of the open source project “embedded jmxtrans” and a speaker at various conferences.
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    It proved to be the most popular webinar we have held yet with almost 1500 people registered! Many were not able to log in live for the event. We are making a recording available for those who could not attend and anyone else who would like to listen:
    

    

    Hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for more webinars.

    IBM Webcast Nov 18 : Rapid and Continuous Delivery to Hybrid Clouds
    
			
    Organizations need to innovate at speed. As software has become increasingly critical to business outcomes, delivering high quality changes quickly has become a competitive necessity. With rapidly changing applications has come a dynamic, programmable infrastructure that can meet changing business needs in the blink of an eye. In a word: Cloud.
    

    But how do development teams take advantage of cloud resources? How do organizations coordinate application changes across clouds? Where do platform as a service tools like Bluemix from IBM fit in? Can we move quickly without losing control or quality?
    

    Join Eric Minick, IBM DevOps Evangelist (and UrbanCode guy), as he examines best practices, and approaches for tying together cloud infrastructure, platform as a service and deployment automation to boost the responsiveness of IT as a whole.

    IBM Webcast Nov 12: Use Discovery to accelerate testing and virtualization
    
			
    IBM Webcast Nov 12: Use Discovery to accelerate testing and virtualization
    
			
    Many of today’s business applications offer a multitude of services (APIs) across many different technologies. These same applications also reach out into a web of already-existing services in order to retrieve and update information necessary to successfully deliver the end to end business processes. In many cases, these applications are being built by multiple development teams distributed around the world with architectural approaches and middleware changing over time and yet we point test teams at the mere tip of the iceberg and say, “Test it!”. Testers know the benefits service-based testing and service virtualization bring but to successfully use these capabilities they first have to understand not only the application’s architecture but also the way in which it communicates with everything around it. Finding this information can be a forensic-like exercise; even if there is documentation there is only one real truth – the environment itself. Watching and interrogating the real systems allows testers to understand what’s really happening under the surface, sometimes with surprising results.
