DevOps on the AWS Cloud

Kevin Cochran, Partner Solutions Architect, AWS

Traditional Development Models are Obsolete

Business is increasingly software-driven

End-users expect both continuous improvement and stability

from applications

IT needs to be able to provision infrastructure as rapidly

as developers demand it

An organization’s pace of innovation is largely constrained

by their ability to develop applications

DevOps at a Glance

Delivery Pipeline

Feedback loop

DevOps = efficiencies and techniques that speed up this lifecycle

Very Important!

Increase Business agility

Application stability

Ability to meet customer demand

Time spent on innovation

Security

Decrease Length of development cycles

Time to market

Deployment failures

and rollbacks

Time to recover upon failure

Operational overhead

DevOps Can Help

DevOps on AWS

AWS provides on-demand infrastructure resources and tooling built to enable

common DevOps practices

Infrastructure as Code

Replace traditional infrastructure provisioning and management with

ode-based techniques

Build services around the business capabilities you require

Scale up and down as required with virtually no notice

Make configuration code changes repeatable

and standardized

API-driven model enables management of infrastructure

with language typically used in application code

Free developers from manually configuring operating

systems, system applications, and server software

Microservices

Build applications as a set of small services that communicates

with other services through APIs

Build services around the business capabilities you require

Scale up and down as required with virtually no notice

Make configuration code changes repeatable and

standardized

API-driven model enables management of infrastructure

with language typically used in application code

Free developers from manually configuring operating

systems, system applications, and server software

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

Rapidly and reliably build, test, and deploy your applications, while improving

quality and reducing time to market.

Static Monitoring Doesn’t Work Any Longer

And isn’t just about analyzing logs & exceptions

and finding bad code through CPU Sampling

The Challenge: Siloed Teams and Long Revenue

Realization Times for ProQuest

This resulted in revenue realization time being 18 months.

What We Achieved

3x faster build and test cycles

50% faster deployment

(every two weeks, rather than once a month)

33% faster revenue realization

50% reduction in issues

Now Lets Talk About How We Got To That Point
