DevOps Unbound

Mitch Ashley is joined by a panel of experts Simona Domazetoska (Tricentis), Nirankush Panchbhai (ServiceNow) and Clint Sprauve (Delphix) as they discuss why low-code/no-code and DevOps together accelerate innovation, create value quickly, increase developer productivity and create new business value.

Mitch Ashley (Techstrong) is joined by our panel of experts Parag Doshi (Tricentis, Lee Atchison (Atchison Technology), Hope Lynch (CloudBees) and Tim Banks (Dell) while they share their predictions for the upcoming year and discuss: The DevOps trends to watch in 2023, DevOps, SRE and the future of software development, DevOps at the edge, the future of automated testing and DevOps, the state of cloud-native application development in 2023, the rise of citizen developers, how AI and ML are transforming DevOps, and more!

Join host Mitchell Ashley and our panel of experts Lee Atchison (Atchison Technology), Ixchel Ruiz (JFrog), Shawn Jacques (Tricentis) and Kristin Jackvony (Paylocity) as they discuss why a “test everything” approach is not feasible, what are the most important tests you should be focusing on and how to test less to increase the quality of your software.

Migrating workloads from on-premises infrastructure into the cloud is a long and tedious process, and if not done properly, it could result in high-risk situations. Having a strategic testing plan is key to mitigate the risk of losing critical functionalities in your databases and applications as you move to the cloud. Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by a panel of experts, Jonathan Boswell (Tricentis), Tracy Ragan (DeployHub), and Mike Rothman (Techstrong Research) to talk about how to develop an effective cloud testing strategy, the different types of testing you need to consider when shifting to the cloud, how to shorten your testing cycle and how cloud testing can help accelerate your digital transformation.

Shift left has more than its fair share of admirers and advocates, as DevOps and DevSecOps initiatives aim to move responsibility for building and securing applications as early (or as far left) in the development life cycle as possible. But what about its more traditional (and much maligned) cousin, shift right? Shift right, or testing in production, was once taboo and is still discouraged by many. But testing in production is becoming a more common occurrence. The main goal of shift right testing is to spot and correct any issues that may not have been detected during the preceding development process. So, why does it have a bad reputation? Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Chris Riley (HubSpot), Nora Jones (Jeli) Paul Bruce (Tricentis) and Shamim Ahmed (Broadcom) as they debunk the myths of testing in production and discuss why it is important for your business. Join us to learn the truth about shift right testing best practices and trends for maintaining system integrity.

Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Brian Dawson (RippleX), Hope Lynch (CloudBees) and Adam Kalsey (Tricentis) to debate what’s right, what’s wrong and what requires best practices when implementing feature flags, microservices and more. The panel also discusses the good and bad of managing feature flags at scale across large applications, multiple teams, product, testing and development.

Join us for a special edition of DevOps Unbound from RSAC 2022. Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Ira Winkler, chief security architect at Walmart and Jennifer Czaplewski, senior director of DevSecOps and endpoint security at Target, for a lively discussion about DevSecOps, the current push to shift testing and security left and how to transform security and make the practice more engaging.We’ll also dive into the nitty-gritty of integrating software development with security best practices, ensuring code security and hardening software supply chains, the increasing emphasis on API security and what all this means for DevOps teams and developers. You won’t want to miss this!

In DevOps, we frequently use a variety of tools to help manage the entire software development lifecycle. But with an immense amount of data coming from so many different sources, this introduces a question of integrity of the data. DataOps is key to efficiently detect changes faster while minimizing risks and ensuring data quality and security. Host Mitch Ashley is joined by Curtis O'Dell (Tricentis), Arun Moolchandani (Narwal), Divanny Lamas (Transposit) and Andrew Hughes (Trimedx) to explain how DataOps helps organizations speed up development, reduce the cost of deployment and monitor their data’s integrity, ensuring the transparency of data operations and maximizing productivity and efficiency in the business.

Hyperscale DevOps: How Do You Get There? Hyperscaling DevOps is the key to a successful digital transformation. Hyperscaling is a whole new game and it demands a new level of coordination, processes, tools and mindset. Is hyperscaling DevOps an attainable goal for your organization? Mitch Ashley is joined by Tracy Ragan (DeployHub), Parag Doshi (Tricentis) and Larry Maccherone (Contrast Security) as they discuss DevOps at hyperscale, enterprise scale versus startup scale, how to set up a hyperscale environment and how to test at hyperscale.

Leveraging DevOps Dojos and Centers of Excellence (CoE) A DevOps Dojo is the place where DevOps teams come together for hands-on training in a collaborative, risk-free learning environment. DevOps Dojos and CoEs can improve automation and software development processes and enable teams to deliver higher-quality products. DevOps Dojos and CoEs create a knowledge and learning hub that boosts teamwork, improves communication and leads to the implementation of better processes and tools. Whether you are starting your career as a DevOps engineer or you are a seasoned professional, a DevOps CoE or a DevOps Dojo can help expand your knowledge, enhance your existing skills and help your organization maximize the potential of DevOps. In this episode, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Larry Maccharone (Contrast Security) and Shaaron Alvares (Salesforce) to discuss the benefits of DevOps Dojos and CoEs and offer insight on how to build your own DevOps Dojo.
