IT’S NOT CONTINUOUS DELIVERY IF YOU CAN’T DEPLOY RIGHT NOW

“DEVOPS: A CULTURE WHERE PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF TITLE OR BACKGROUND, WORK TOGETHER TO IMAGINE, DEVELOP, DEPLOY AND OPERATE A SYSTEM.” Me @kmugrage https://kenmugrage.com/2017/05/05/my-new-definition-of-devops/

“CONTINUOUS DELIVERY IS THE ABILITY TO GET CHANGES OF ALL TYPES - INCLUDING NEW FEATURES, CONFIGURATION CHANGES, BUG FIXES AND EXPERIMENTS - INTO PRODUCTION, OR INTO THE HANDS OF USERS, SAFELY AND QUICKLY IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY.” Jez Humble @kmugrage https://continuousdelivery.com/
WHY CONTINUOUS DELIVERY?
FULFILL THE PROMISE OF AGILE We follow these principles: Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
PARTIALLY DONE MIGHT BE USEFUL @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
SECURITY THREATS At the time of disclosure, some 17% (around half a million) of the Internet's secure web servers certified by trusted authorities were believed to be vulnerable to the attack, allowing theft of the servers' private keys and users' session cookies and passwords. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed @kmugrage https://gocd.org/

A PRE-REQUISITE CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION The ThoughtWorks tech radar recently recommended putting a hold on the tech team anti-pattern, CI Theatre. CI Theatre describes the illusion of practicing continuous integration (CI) while not really practicing it. https://www.gocd.org/2017/05/16/its-not-CI-its-CI-theatre/ @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION In our study only 10% of participants acknowledged that having a CI server was not the same as practicing CI. https://www.gocd.org/2017/05/16/its-not-CI-its-CI-theatre/ @kmugrage https://gocd.org/

“YOU BUILD IT, YOU RUN IT” –Werner Vogels, Amazon @kmugrage https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1142065
“GIVING DEVELOPERS OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES HAS GREATLY ENHANCED THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES, BOTH FROM A CUSTOMER AND A TECHNOLOGY POINT OF VIEW. THE TRADITIONAL MODEL IS THAT YOU TAKE YOUR SOFTWARE TO THE WALL THAT SEPARATES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS, AND THROW IT OVER AND THEN FORGET ABOUT IT. NOT AT AMAZON. YOU BUILD IT, YOU RUN IT. THIS BRINGS DEVELOPERS INTO CONTACT WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION OF THEIR SOFTWARE. IT ALSO BRINGS THEM INTO DAY-TO-DAY CONTACT WITH THE CUSTOMER. THIS CUSTOMER FEEDBACK LOOP IS ESSENTIAL FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICE.” –Werner Vogels, Amazon @kmugrage https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1142065
USE MODERN ARCHITECTURES AND TECHNOLOGIES
MONOLITHS CAN BE HARD ▸ All functionality is in one process ▸ Scale by replicating the monolith on multiple servers @kmugrage https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/microservices-nutshell
DEVELOP SMALLER PIECES MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE ▸ Each element of functionality is in a separate service ▸ Scale by distributing these services across servers, replicating as needed @kmugrage https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/microservices-nutshell

DEPLOYMENT PATTERNS
WE RECOMMEND STRICTLY USING THE TERM DEPLOYMENT WHEN REFERRING TO THE ACT OF DEPLOYING A CHANGE TO APPLICATION COMPONENTS OR INFRASTRUCTURE. THE TERM RELEASE SHOULD BE USED WHEN A FEATURE CHANGE IS RELEASED TO END USERS. https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/decoupling-deployment-from-release @kmugrage
CANARY RELEASE @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
DARK LAUNCHING https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/hammering-usernames/96390263919/ @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
KNIGHT CAPITAL On August 1, 2012, Knight Capital deployed untested software to a production environment which contained an obsolete function. The incident happened due to a technician forgetting to copy the new Retail Liquidity Program (RLP) to one of the eight SMARS computer servers…. …sent millions of child orders, resulting in 4 million executions in 154 stocks for more than 397 million shares in approximately 45 minutes. Knight Capital took a pre-tax loss of $440,000,000 @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
SUMMARY ▸ The goal of Continuous Delivery is to make sure your software is always in a deployable state ▸ It’s possible (or even likely) that organizational structure needs to be changed ▸ Smaller pieces are easier to deliver ▸ Don’t skip the “other” kinds of testing @kmugrage https://gocd.org/
People often say that they’re practicing continuous delivery, and then add something like “I can let the security team know any time” or “I just have to run the performance tests.” Ken Mugrage explains why you’re not done with your continuous delivery journey if you can’t push your software to production right now.
