  • Webinar: Sandstorm or Significant: The evolving role of context in Incident Management

    Webinar: Sandstorm or Significant: The evolving role of context in Incident Management

    Providing Situational Context to first responders is one of the most nuanced and critical success factors teams need as they manage and resolve incidents. It’s critical at all stages of incident management, from alert detection through postmortem. Provide no context, and you’ll materially impede resolution efforts. Overwhelm a team with data, and chaos ensues.

    Understanding the evolving role of context will differentiate your incident management abilities and prepare you for ongoing success.

    In this webinar, we gained an understanding of the evolving role of situational context as teams move from beginner to advanced in their incident management maturity. We honed in on the factors you need to calibrate the optimal level of context, and learned how to deliver that context in the most effective way.

  • Open Source is Not Enough for Modern Application Delivery

    Open Source is Not Enough for Modern Application Delivery

    It’s the same everywhere you turn. Companies are trying to transform their digital experiences and increase customer engagement all while improving customer experience. This is giving rise to a whole new generation of modern applications that are built fast, scale out, are mobile-first and go global on public cloud infrastructure.

    Developers building modern applications depend on:

    • An evolving set of DevOps needs
    • Modern architectural principles
    • Pervasive use of open source frameworks and tools

    Forrester Analyst, Jeffrey Hammond, and CloudBees DevOps Evangelist, Brian Dawson, discussed how developers are meeting the demand for speed without blowing budgets. They shared the best practices they have seen companies use to take full advantage of open source tools and frameworks.

  • From Monolith to Microservices – and Beyond!

    From Monolith to Microservices – and Beyond!

    Software application development and delivery often involves multiple development, infrastructure and operations teams, each with their own preferred “tools of the trade” for building, testing and deploying code changes

    For years, virtualization and cloud technologies have provided agile, on-demand infrastructure. The advent of Microservices promises even more agility– but what is required to take advantage of Microservices?

    Join Electric Cloud CTO Anders Wallgren and Trace3 Principal Consultant – DevOps Marc Hornbeek as they discuss what is required to:

    • Overcome culture and architecture challenges created when decomposing monolithic applications into Microservices-based applications.
    • Coordinate integration, testing, monitoring, packaging, release approval and deployment of Microservices-based applications over elastic infrastructures
    • Create a controlled and auditable delivery pipeline to support
      Microservices-based application.
    • Prepare for “future” applications, pipelines and patterns.

  • Webinar: Efficient Performance Test Automation – Optimizing the Jenkins Pipeline

    Webinar: Efficient Performance Test Automation – Optimizing the Jenkins Pipeline

    Shift-left testing represents a huge opportunity within the context of DevOps and Continuous Delivery, and integrating performance tests into your Continuous Integration scope greatly reduces performance risks when adding a new feature, or fixing a bug.

    Even better – adding performance tests into the widely used Jenkins Pipeline is easier than you might think. In this webinar, co-presented by CA BlazeMeter and CloudBees, we’ll offer practical tips and best practices for leveraging performance test automation in a continuous integration environment.

    In this webinar we’ll cover:

    • How to easily implement a project’s entire build/test/deploy pipeline in Jenkins and store that alongside existing code
    • How to configure and execute realistic, large-scale performance-testing scenarios as part of the Continuous Integration process
    • Enabling easy test configuration maintenance using the open source test automation tool Taurus along with Jenkins Pipeline
    • Analyzing comprehensive performance test results in real-time, and integrating those results as a part of the build promotion criteria

    Extend the impact of performance testing across the software delivery pipeline and the popular tools your teams are already using.

  • Webinar: How to Build the Right Automation

    Webinar: How to Build the Right Automation

    Many companies are investing heavily in automation. Good high quality automation is key as companies move towards a successful DevOps model. The problem is that automation scripts can be very brittle and tend to not cover or test the entire application. They are also very difficult and time consuming to keep up to date.

    This presentation will include a demonstration of how to design, create and update automation scripts as well as their associated test data and end points.

    On this webcast learn how to make automated testing a reality.
