DevSecOps
Tales from the wasteland of Enterprise IT
Server Reboot Approval Process • Huge multinational • 5-7 step
approval process including: • App owners • Infra owners • Change Managers • Security Approvers • Minimum 36 hrs for anyone not at HQ • Almost no-one working on infra is at HQ
Depreciating the Cloud • IT projects modeled using hardware deprecation
• Moving to the cloud • Kept using the same model • IaaS "free" for app teams after 5 years.
Manually Powered Infrastructure As Code • Financial Services • Fully
modeled Infra-as-code deployment • Running in simulation mode. Always • All changes made by hand to servers
The OpsDev Team • Dev and Ops not working •
DevOps team formed from Ops to fix it • Dev decide to form an OpsDev team • Everything is worse
This doesn't feel like DevOps
Most companies aren't changing enough
None
Containers don't fix things
None
Enterprise Architects design beautiful release trains like this
None
Actual Production Requirements
DevOps should be more than optimizing and automating builds!
It's not all bad!

So where did it go wrong?

Puppet 2018 State of DevOps Report
Puppet 2018 State of DevOps Report
So what do we do? • Technical capabilities are not
the bottleneck • Not the build automation engineers fault • Most enterprise managers aren't natural change agents
Success requires change higher up in the org and in
more than just IT
The things we build need to be more accessible and
more easily shareable
Thanks.
