culture @mattstratton

You can’t directly change culture. But you can change behavior, and behavior becomes culture –Lloyd Taylor, VP Infrastructure, Ngmoco @mattstratton

automation @mattstratton

Asking experts to do boring and repetitive, and yet technically demanding tasks is the most certain way of ensuring human error, short of sleep deprivation, or inebriation. – Continuous Delivery, Jez Humble and David Farley @mattstratton

lean @mattstratton

@mattstratton

measurement @mattstratton

sharing @mattstratton

but… what happened? @mattstratton

it’s all about automation? @mattstratton

kubernetes will save us all @mattstratton

“culture is for yoghurt” @mattstratton

devops is being sold to you @mattstratton “You can’t buy devops, but I can definitely sell it to you” – Matty Stratton, charismatic grifter

words are hard @mattstratton

don’t worry I have more words for you @mattstratton

Cloud Engineering employs standard software engineering practices and tools across infrastructure, application development, and compliance teams to tame the complexity of the modern cloud. @mattstratton

Build Cloud Resources @mattstratton Deploy Infra Platforms Manage Cloud Applications Policies

build @mattstratton

Build ★ Shared services platforms ★ Reusable infrastructure components ★ Apply existing frameworks and tools @mattstratton

build + calms @mattstratton

build culture @mattstratton ★ focus on differentiators ★ common development experience ★ drives empathy

build automation @mattstratton ★ reusable components ★ leverage ecosystems ★ avoid bespoke implementation

build lean @mattstratton ★ focus on value ★ drive efficiency ★ review for improvement

build measurement @mattstratton ★ consistency breeds visibility

build sharing @mattstratton ★ reusable components ★ ecosystem promotes outside sharing ★ learn from existing practices

deploy @mattstratton

Deploy ★ The same way, every time ★ I mean, every time ★ Quality and security checks ★ Automate checklists! ★ Infrastructure is part of the application @mattstratton

deploy + calms @mattstratton

deploy culture @mattstratton ★ “it doesn’t count until it’s in prod” ★ iterative development ★ enables continuous improvement

deploy automation @mattstratton ★ CI/CD pipelines ★ automated checks ★ checklists are great! let’s automate them

deploy lean @mattstratton ★ enables fast feedback ★ visibility into the supply chain ★ identify bottlenecks

deploy measurement @mattstratton ★ visibility again ★ measure cycle time ★ it’s not just speed

deploy sharing @mattstratton ★ look, more visibility ★ common pipeline means less duplicate work ★ everyone knows “what changed?”

manage @mattstratton

Manage ★ ★ ★ ★ @mattstratton Visibility Security is everyone’s job Common “vocabulary” Controls and process that enable and enhance

manage + calms @mattstratton

manage culture @mattstratton ★ collaboration enabled through common code ★ guardrails enable confidence ★ increase common understanding across disciplines

manage automation @mattstratton ★ computers can’t lie ★ trust of process/checks ★ policy goes from vague to understandable

manage lean @mattstratton ★ determine improvements for safety ★ express value stream changes in code

manage measurement @mattstratton ★ visibility into current policy ★ view of current state of compliance ★ identify when policy and value collide

manage sharing @mattstratton ★ shared vocabulary ★ utilize success patterns ★ share learning
