DevOps in the Cloud for Software Development & Testing

During this talk, we will review how you can easily provision and manage a Dev-Test environment in the cloud, move existing environments into the cloud for testing, then back to on-premises data centers with relative ease, less complexity and comparatively small cost. All of this will help you meet the needs of your teams faster and manage Dev-Test environments with more visibility and control.

3. Outperforming teams are 54% more likely to Developers 26.7% No executive support 56.7% Cultural inhibitors 43.3% Fragmented processes Collaboration blockers DevOps was being initiated by more development teams than IT Ops teams by about a 40% to 33% margin Agile methodologies have adopted 3/4 of teams Business IT Ops The average hourly cost of infrastructure failure is $100,000 per hour It takes on average 200 minutes to diagnose and repair a production issue A bug caught in production ends up costing than if the same bug was found earlier in the development cycle 100x more IT decision makers is still unfamiliar with the term DevOps 6 1 in 40% … of implementations end up getting reworked because they don’t meet the users’ original requirements … of development budgets for software, IT staff and external professional services will be consumed by poor requirements 41% The Consequences of Inefficiency IT drives business success! High IT performance correlates with strong business performance, helps boost productivity, market share and profit. Responding to ongoing needs for efficiency and growth Always keeping all systems safe and secure dual goals … for companies that try to adapt their existing tools for DevOps practices 80% failure rate … CIOs 70 % to reduce IT costs Would increase risk and accelerate business agility of
5. Jeffrey Snover - Chief Architect, Enterprise Cloud Microsoft Technical Fellow Windows PowerShell inventor Jeffrey Snover was promoted last year to Microsoft Technical Fellow. Snover has been promoting Microsoft's DevOps vision, partly enabled by Windows Server 2016, which includes a headless Nano Server. His main role at Microsoft has been to improve Windows Server management with system automation and orchestration across platforms.

7. I should learn PowerShell… Hey McFly- Think! Learn PowerShell Cultural Reference
8. Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. What is PowerShell? Windows cmd.exe deposed by PowerShell
9. Fear of the Command Prompt?
10. PowerShell is open sourced and is available on Linux
11. Linux Bash Shell on Windows 10 Create Bash shell scripts (.sh scripts) and run them with the Bash shell.
12. What Is DevOps? • There are many different ways to implement DevOps, though all methods have two significant factors in common: 1. deep communication between software development and IT operational groups 2. automated deployment processes • The point of DevOps is to deliver technology to business units in a timely fashion and ensure the technology runs without interruption or disruption. There's nothing about rapid deployment or frequent deployment in the definition. DevOps can be used to make sure that annual updates go smoothly.

20. The Cloud is changing the world
21. Why the cloud? • Rapidly setup environments to drive business priorities • Scale to meet peak demands • Increase daily activities, efficiency and reduced cost.
22. What is a Hyperscale Cloud Infrastructure?
23. Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform
24. Microsoft Azure  100+ datacenters  Top 3 networks in the world  2x AWS, 6x Google DC Regions Operational Now Operational Central US Iowa West US California North Europe Ireland East US Virginia East US 2 Virginia US Gov Virginia North Central US Illinois US Gov Iowa South Central US Texas Brazil South Sao Paulo West Europe Netherlands China North * Beijing China South * Shanghai Japan East Saitama Japan West Osaka India South Chennai East Asia Hong Kong SE Asia Singapore Australia South East Victoria Australia East New South Wales India Central Pune Canada East Quebec City Canada Central Toronto India West Mumbai

26. What are we covering today?
29. More Flexibility • Existing or New • Imperative APIs (Single VMs) • Windows, Linux, Apps • “On premises” monitoring tools More Automation • New Applications written for PaaS • Published as a Package • Windows only • Cloud-based Monitoring Hosting Model Benefits
30. Why Cloud for Dev & Test? •30% to 50% of all servers are dedicated to test •Most dev/test servers run at less than 10% utilization, if they are running at all! •Dev & Test environments are seen as expensive and providing little real business value •Enterprises are more comfortable running Dev and Test in the cloud than production
31. Dev & Test Environments Improve team agility and resource efficiency! • Each developer can self-provision environments that mirror production. • Perform realistic scale testing in environments that mirror production. • Developers perform unit and integration testing in isolated individual environments. • Production issues or incompatible code are discovered earlier. • Connect cloud and on-premises resources for hybrid applications. Virtual Machines Websites Cloud Services SQL Database
32. What about Production? Companies are very resistant to having their data in the public cloud

35. Azure DevTest Labs Overview 1. Makes it easier to control costs by allowing you to set policies on your lab - such as number of virtual machines (VM) per user and number of VMs per lab. DevTest Labs also allows you to create policies to automatically shut down and start VMs. 2. Enables you to create pre-provisioned environments with everything your team needs to start developing and testing applications. 3. Capture and share environment templates and artifacts within your team or organization - all in source control - to create developer and test environments easily 4. Leverage pre-made plug-ins or Azure APIs to provision Dev/Test environments directly from a preferred continuous integration (CI) tool, integrated development environment (IDE), or automated release pipeline. You can also use the Azure command-line tool
