DevOps: From Concepts to Practical Applicatons

Digital transformation is a top business priority and it includes embracing consumer trends around mobility. However, recent stats on the state of mobile app development in the enterprise are dismal. Gartner has also concluded that the enterprise mobile app journey is a complicated one for IT.

All too often mobile apps fail before they’re off the ground because companies try to do too much, too quickly. The road to digital transformation – and mobile – is a journey, not a race.

Join Tom Ku, VP Enterprise Mobility and hear him share our recommendation around breaking this journey down into digestible, easy to rollout and test steps before achieving ultimate mobile nirvana!

As application security moves into the realm of monitoring and protecting applications in production, it’s becoming even more critical to adopt solutions that are automated, continuous and natural. New technology innovations from HPE Security Fortify enable practitioners to continuously discover, profile and assess application portfolios of all sizes.

If you’re a typical Chef user, you learned cookbook design by writing recipes and then tuning functionality with node attributes—and you probably didn’t focus too much on the underlying Ruby concepts. This approach can lead to messy designs that are more difficult to verify and maintain.

Chef’s fundamental building blocks are resources, not recipes. In this webinar, Kevin Dickerson of Loom (a Chef Certified Partner), will demonstrate a resource-centric approach to designing and verifying cookbooks that can reduce defects, increase clarity, and provide greater isolation of logic and various configuration concerns.

Kevin will show you how to create and use resources and resource properties instead of emulating resources with recipes. He’ll also teach you how to verify cookbooks, and how verification is simplified when a resource is only concerned with the conditions that affect its behavior.

You’ll also be introduced to some Ruby concepts that don’t seem to get a lot of attention—after all, Chef cookbooks are written in Ruby.

Many companies experimenting with agile development methods in their engineering and IT groups are having only mixed success.

Unless you’re implementing agile both upstream (through your portfolio) and downstream (through testing and operations,) you’re not harnessing agile’s full power through Digital Transformation. Being faster to market doesn’t help your bottom line if you deliver the wrong things, and failing to get the right things into production fast means you’re leaving money on the table.

Join this web seminar to gain insight into the benefits of a digital transformation. You’ll discover a strategic, collaborative approach to channel the power of agile and deliver more value to your customers.

With the widespread use of connected devices, hackers have configured new ways to access your smartphones and laptops, even without you knowing. The Pineapple is a router that stages a fake WIFI access point, compromising the security of any smart device that unknowingly connects to it. During the live webinar, Johan Hybinette, CISO at HOSTING, will be going over the following discussion points:

- The technical makeup of the pineapple router
- How the Pineapple hacks into connected devices
- What personal information is at the most risk
- What you can do to protect yourself from this malicious form of identity theft

Join us to learn about the first step to take when containerizing your environment. We’ll give a broad overview of the capabilities that containers provide companies today, as well introduce the concept of container registries. You’ll leave understanding the value of containers and the first step you need to take to build, store, analyze, and distribute your application containers.

Bimodal IT is putting even the most talented development teams to the test. No matter if you support or oppose the idea of two distinct speeds of IT, you’ll want to hear Jason Bloomberg from Intellyx and Deloitte’s Rui Vaz debate and discuss the realities of taking a bimodal approach.

We will be covering good examples of coherent UX across desktop, tablet and mobile. No matter the screen, user journeys have to be simple and work accordingly in regards of the device. In addition, we will discuss some insights of how important it is to create design manifesto in order to keep stakeholders on one page.

Companies need to look for new ways to work in quality innovative applications in and out of the development and testing lifecycle. By continuously delivering new features and releases more quickly, an organization can better meet the demands of consumers and outmaneuver its competitors. But how to maintain quality in an always moving delivery cycle remains a core challenge.

Join us and learn how other orgs are enabling continuous delivery by using service virtualization. During this session will explain how CA Service Virtualization works and helps eliminate constraints across the software lifecycle, allowing developers, testers, and performance teams to work in parallel for faster delivery and more reliable outcomes. You’ll also learn how CA Service Virtualization:

•Replicates production like dependencies for testing
•Helps you control inputs like response times, so you can do more negative testing
•Virtualize 3rd party services so they are accessible all the time without fees
•Reproduces production defects for faster remediation
•Eliminates scheduling conflicts and enable parallel development
