In the last year, we’ve seen a dramatic shift in expectations regarding how to measure the success of IT monitoring. As more people believe monitoring is critical to a company’s success, the ability to quickly remediate the cause of alerts has become less critical. IT […]
A recent survey of Go programmers proves once again that Go is at the center of the DevOps world. While web development is a common use, 38 percent of Go developers do systems programming and 35 percent said they work in DevOps. While Go adoption may not […]
No matter how you look at gender, the percentage of women in IT varies depending on the study. Yet, in some ways, it doesn’t matter if the figure is 5 percent or 25 percent, the statistic still obscure hard truths. For example, when women join a programming team, […]
iPaaS (integration platform as a service) offerings have been touted for a while, but have so far not reached a broad level adoption. Perhaps this is because of limited demand for Boomi or open source WSO2. Maybe integration by its very nature requires manual, custom […]
A year ago, most users of containers were not using orchestration tools, but instead relied on custom scripts, CLIs and perhaps their configuration management solutions. Those were supposedly early adopters. Six months ago an UBM/Interop ITX report, based on a broader base of general cloud computing users, found […]
Remember why DevOps came into existence? A recent survey of SQL Server users by Redgate proves once again there is a disconnect between those creating and managing production applications. Although 60 percent of developers write scripts to deploy databases, only 39 percent are actually responsible for the […]
Fifty-six percent of developers surveyed for DZone’s Guide to DevOps: Continuous Delivery and Automation say environment configuration and set-up is the biggest pain point in the continuous delivery (CD) pipeline. Complained about much less often (34 percent) is coordination of team members, which is likely related to […]
Monitoring products have traditionally focused on infrastructure, applications or end users. Cisco’s purchase of AppDynamics reminds us there is increasing desire for monitoring tools that collect data from all these areas. Interestingly, infrastructure metrics may get more attention than they deserve. In Big Panda’s The State […]
Central IT departments are in constant fear of being sidelined. The c-suite knows the enterprise cannot be transformed without so-called digital transformation. While there has been a lot said about how IT can respond to this disruption, IDG recently reported something quantifiable being done. Over half of […]
Among developers, Slack — along with Atlassian HipChat, Gitter and others — have captured mindshare for ChatOps. However, when Spiceworks surveyed 448 IT pros in December 2016 about collaborative chat applications, Skype for Business and Google Hangouts are used more often than Slack. In fact, among enterprises, […]
Once again we are seeing a Kubernetes trend mirror a Docker trend. Both technologies started with many more job postings mentioning the keyword Kubernetes or Docker as compared to job seekers looking for those terms. Yet, they also follow a similar pattern where they approach a one-to-one ratio. […]
DevOps is such an undefined job title. Application operator, or site reliability engineer (SRE), perhaps more accurately describe the job role. Yet, when people are asked to describe their job, they often say DevOps. In the recently published ebook “Monitoring & Management with Docker & […]
