The Two CulturesWhen DevOps Meets Enterprise
Agenda
The Two CulturesSoftware Development: Enterprise vs. Start-UpsWhat is DevOps?DevOps the Amazon Way
C. P. Snow – The Two Cultures
A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists.
C. P. Snow - The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, 1959
Enterprises havewell-structured roles …
… follow strictapproval processes …

Build it faster Keep it stable
Plans are suited forwell charted territory
No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
The Start-up World
Start-ups haveno time to lose!
Start-ups haveno money to spend!
Start-ups lackwell-trodden paths!
Experiment
Success as Criterion
Fail fast, fail often
Embrace Risk
Start-up Approach
How can you succeedw/o solid architecture?
You can succeed,but differently!
DevOps
A good meal is not a set of isolated boxes with perfect ingredients …
… it rather means good chefs take responsibility for the entire dining experience: from selecting the ingredients to hosting their guests.

Isn’t that risky?
Sure,that isrisky!
But which Risk?
• Risk of wasting developer resources?ü Yes, but so do well-planned projects too.
• Risk of breaking production?ü Yes, but there are ways to limit that.
• Risk of annoying customers?ü Yes, but being transparent and engaging with them helps.
• Risk of missing market opportunities?ü Not really because you’re very fast!
DevOps Requirements:
• Courage• C-Level Support• Cloud-Services
Building DevOps Teams
• Make DevOps everyone’s job – no silos!• Encourage developers to participate openly in the automation of operations code
• Embolden operation’s participation in testing and automation of application code
• Team should take pride in how fast and frequently they deploy
Building a DevOps Culture
• Encourage a fail fast, learn quick mindset• Foster innovation and accountability• Promote open and honest sharing of lessons learned
• Build trust across organizational boundaries• Expect that everything will be work-in-progress

AWS Fosters Experimentation
• Experiment often• Fail quickly at a low cost• Innovation increases
With on-premisesoperations:• Experimenting is infrequent• Failure is expensive• Innovation is diminished
