So Long, Sheepdog: Towards a Cloud-Native CI/CD
Thursday, December 5, 2019
Infrastructure has changed, and DevOps practitioners are embracing a new world. The adoption of modern runtimes--from cloud platforms, to Kubernetes, to serverless--is rapidly shifting the way we manage applications. Servers are now livestock, not pets. But the CI/CD systems we use to build and deploy those applications often lag behind, as fragile, bespoke one-offs. These are sheepdogs: pets we use to tend livestock. It’s time to modernize software delivery itself, by applying today’s best practices like configuration as code, containerization, and on-demand scalability. In this talk, I’ll review the hallmarks of a healthy DevOps practice, and describe how the continued evolution of development and delivery platforms is an essential factor in producing high-performing software teams.
