Measure What’s Important: DevFinOps
Lately there seem to have been quite a few DevSomethingOps terms being coined. However, I do think we need one more: DevFinOps. Dev-What-Ops? One of the biggest problems in IT is working out the cost of IT. Left unchecked, IT will expand to fill whatever budget it is given. This may mean evermore involved business […]
The Need for Speed Demands New-Era APM
Applications have become the primary conduit by which customers experience a brand, making the application experience critical to business success. As such, continuous delivery and highly available systems that deliver optimal end user experiences at lightning speed have become top priorities for organizations. Modern IT is all about speed, efficiency and customer experience. Simply put, […]
Research Firms Agree, Cloud Growth Continues to Soar
Investment in all the various types of cloud computing has gone gangbusters in recent years, and for good reason: Cloud computing helps to cut cost, shorting time to market, provides unrivaled scale and reliability. This will only continue as enterprises continue to divest from on-premises infrastructure over the long term while seeking to scale the […]
BMC to Infuse AI Across Software Portfolio
At its recent BMC Exchange event, BMC Software announced it will be infusing machine learning algorithms and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across its entire portfolio of IT operations software. The first instance of BMC software to make use of machine learning algorithms is the latest version of TrueSight AIOps platform, which ingests data from […]
Machine Learning Is Working for CIOs, Vendor Survey Finds
AI’s time has finally come, if a new survey commissioned by ServiceNow is to be believed. Its results showed that nearly 90 percent of CIOs are at least dabbling with machine learning, with 53 percent calling it an area of strategic focus for their companies. What’s more, almost 70 percent of the CIOs surveyed say […]
Using AI to Automate Incident Management Sparks Debate
When it comes to incident response with an integrated DevOps environment so much depends on the ability of an IT team to respond quickly and consistently to a specific set of events. Because of that requirement, many IT organizations have invested in incident management systems that everyone in IT can consult whenever an issue arises. […]
AIOps: Managing the Second Law of IT Ops
Or, why IT systems keep breaking The tension between the two halves of DevOps is long-standing, going back long before the term was even invented. What underlies the split between Development and Operations is a fundamental difference, like an actual physical law. Let’s explore that analogy together. IT Ops is fundamentally a constant fight against […]
New Relic Delivers on AI Promise to Automate IT Operations
New Relic at a FutureStack 2017 conference unveiled an instance of its monitoring tools that employs machine learning technologies and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide advice on how to optimize an IT environment. Nadya Duke Boone, director of product management for New Relic, says New Relic Applied Intelligence (NRAI) will be made […]
New Relic Tracing Software Pinpoints Source of IT Issues
At a FutureStack 2017 conference this week, New Relic previewed an implementation of distributed tracing software that has the potential to close the war rooms where IT operations assign blame for application failure. New Relic CEO Lew Cirne says a Distributed Tracing capability that New Relic previewed this week will enable developers or IT operations […]
DevOps, Security, AI Convergence on Horizon
DevOps is regarded as practice that can drive performance advantages. Artificial intelligence is showing very real promise across the security market. Most public and private-sector organizations know that they must explore new and different ways of defending their networks against modern threats. These three factors make it clear that DevOps, AI and security are ripe […]
Automation: This Time, It’s Different
It took about 200,000 years for mankind to be able to figure out how to get an airplane to fly. The event took place Dec. 17, 1903, on a field in Kitty Hawk, N.C., when Wilbur Wright piloted the airplane he had made with his brother, Orville, into the air. The flight lasted for 12 […]
From Waterfall Incident Management to Collaborative IT Operations
What can Ops learn from Dev in the transition from sequential, reactive IT support to real-time DevOps? One of the signature ideas of DevOps is right there in the name: the blurring of the boundary between the historically separate worlds of Development and Operations. On the face of it, this seems like a great idea. […]
Loom Systems Extends Reach of AI into DevOps Realm
One of the things that tends to hold back adoption of DevOps are all the low-level events that need to be correlated by an engineer to generate anything that approaches actionable intelligence (AI). To eliminate that requirement, Loom Systems created a Loom AIops platform to automate many of the tasks that normally would need to […]
Machine Learning and ITSM: Helping Help Desks
The field of machine learning is a hot topic. We know that this type of artificial intelligence (AI) provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. For people like me who need it in simpler terms, machine learning deals with systems that can learn from past data and experience to improve performance […]
How AI Impacts DevOps Pipelines
The rise of machine- and deep-learning algorithms is about to create some interesting data-gravity challenges for IT operations teams. Over most of the last decade IT operations teams have been caught up in a public- versus private-cloud computing debate that has mostly been species. The truth is that most organizations wind up employing both. But […]
Data Science Industry Perspectives in the Cloud
In principle, the cloud is becoming a commodity. Google, Amazon and other companies are trying to commoditize almost everything, including the instruments for data gathering, data storage and data transformation. In the near term, we should expect that platform engineering, which today is overly complex, will become simpler. With data engineering, however, the prospects of […]
DevOps Chat: AI Log Analysis with Gabby Menachem, CEO, Loom Systems
Log analysis has become a big data issue. As we collect and want to analyze more and more information, the amount of data to analyze seems to grow by leaps and bounds. One answer to this issue is AI Log Analysis (apply artificial intelligence). While I will spare you the obligatory “machine learning” references, there […]
Managing Complexity in Dev/Test Infrastructure Using Machine Learning
Businesses are increasingly developing software solutions that can drive innovation and digital transformation. As the number of developers increases in the organization, the ratio of developers to IT also increases over time. The net result: more dynamic and complex dev/test infrastructure requirements and slower support from IT. Developers and testers often cannot get their hands […]
Dev & Ops: These Are Reconcilable Differences
The new world of IT requires a different approach from what worked in the past. As usual, the technology is the easy part, but without people and processes being aligned, it won’t deliver value. When evaluating how data science and machine learning can help manage highly dynamic IT environments, old reflexes may be actively harmful. By […]
IBM: DevOps, AI to Drive Digital Business Transformation
Conventional wisdom holds that one of the biggest challenges organizations face today is a chronic shortage of application developers. But as artificial intelligence (AI) advances, the process of writing code will become more automated. But rather than there being not enough developers to write all the code necessary, the shortage will be in software engineers […]
The Time Is Now for an IT Operations Revolution
There’s a level of frustration starting to build inside IT operations teams that’s about to boil over. Lucas Carlson, vice president of strategy for Automic, a unit of CA Technologies that provides an IT automation platform, says developers are bullying IT operations teams by programmatically invoking application programming interfaces (APIs) exposed by public cloud service […]
Site Reliability Engineering: How to Make the Operations Side of DevOps Actually Work
The DevOps movement often has been accused of focusing too much on the first half (Development) and not enough on the second half (Operations). Certainly there has been more attention paid to deployment of payloads than to operating running systems, leading to the dismissal of the handover between Dev and Ops as “throwing it over […]
