- 10. – Someone smarter than me “The right culture is a requirement for survival and success at web scale”
- 11. How do we enable change • Automation • Continuous Integration/Delivery • not just for application code • JEDI - use the force Luke (Just Enough Developed Infrastructure) • Small incremental changes • NO BIG BANG • revertible • Fast detection of failures
- 12. How does AWS help?
- 13. Automation • CloudFormation • NO manual creation of environments • MUST BE Version controlled • OpsWorks (or Chef/Puppet etc choose your poison) • Simple WorkFlow • Route 53 If it can’t be automated DON’T DO IT
- 14. Continuous Integration/Delivery • Every commit triggers a change • including infrastructure changes • AMI’s are your friends • FAT vs Thin • Dev’s and Ops doing it the same • use the same tools (Vagrant, Packer, Chef/Puppet etc) • Test the SH#T out of everything
- 15. Small incremental changes • Simplify the deployment process • AMI’s as deployable artifacts • Built and tested by CI process • CloudFormation Stack Update and Rollback • Make deploying FAST • with little or no manual tasks
- 16. Fast detection of failures • Monitor EVERYTHING • CloudWatch - collect and push custom metrics • S3 - Archive metrics even if your not using them right now. One day you will, trust me • EMR - because it’s cool :)
- 17. The scenario You have an application that is developed by your dev team and you are running it in AWS
- 18. • Working towards a go live date • Timelines are tight • Investment accountability • Late nights and quick code releases You have awesome developers
- 19. You go-live and use your developers for support • Diverts focus away from their dev work • Need to learn infrastructure in detail • Security and Optimisation are missed • Experience in production Severity1 issues?
- 20. What happens next? • 24x7 pager duty • 3am issues • Impact on developers time • Come in late, tired and pissed off • Missing daily stand ups • Project slippage!
- 21. So, you hire an Ops guy as well • You have to find one first • Recruiters ;) • Seek? • Dev principles are not followed • Works 24x7, gets sick • Roadblocks ensue • Leaves!
