Implementing DevOps at Scale Using Dynamic Environments
2 likes835 views
The document discusses implementing DevOps at scale using dynamic test environments. It outlines challenges with static test environments including lack of repeatability and fixed configurations. Dynamic sandboxes delivered as a service are presented as an approach to enable continuous testing by providing on-demand, flexible test environments that integrate with DevOps pipelines. A case study demonstrates how a global manufacturer used dynamic sandboxes to improve developer productivity, reduce risk through production-like testing, and provide better visibility and control of infrastructure usage.

- 11. Static Vs. Dynamic Environments STATIC • Setup once (manually) • Resources are pre-allocated • WOMM • Not repeatable • Fixed configuration DYNAMIC (Sandboxes) • Resources allocated on demand and reclaimed automatically • Can select what’s saved between sessions • Repeatable • Flexible configuration • Require orchestration
