Migration of MongoDB to DynamoDB
DynamoDB is one of the non-Structured Query Language (NoSQL) databases which are currently in use today. Scaling of this database is very easy, and it offers no overhead in terms of administration. However, it has a limitation when it comes to the design of the schema. Once you have migrated your data from MongoDB to DynamoDB, you will notice that the task of administering the data will be reduced, and that it will be possible for you to archive the old data. The archiving here can mean that the data which is not queried more often by the... [More]

Getting Started with DevOps? SaaS and Deployment Automation Make it Easy
Getting Started with DevOps? SaaS and Deployment Automation Make it Easy If you’re like most organizations out there, software delivery determines your competitiveness in the marketplace. This means you’re looking to decrease your infrastructure ownership while increasing your workforce’s capacity to spend time on innovation vs. maintenance. Using a DevOps principal called Continuous Delivery, agile teams can get changes into production predictably faster and more frequently so that the business can be... [More]

Taking your first steps toward cloud - with Blueprints
In their recent webcast , IBMers Chad Holliday and Steve Barbieri both discussed and provided a demonstration on how “cloud blueprints” can be used to develop infrastructure and application layers across different cloud environments. The use case is fairly typical: Traditional enterprises are looking to hybrid cloud to deal with “multi-speed IT” issues – these are your legacy applications (systems of record) working with your front-end, systems of engagement (typically in the cloud). And ‘cloud... [More]

Basic DevOps Principles and its 5 Unsung Tools
What is DevOps The term “DevOps” typically refer to the emerging professional movement that advocates a collaborative working relationship between Development and IT Operations, resulting in the fast flow of planned work (i.e., high deploy rates), while simultaneously increasing the reliability, stability, resilience and security of the production environment. Our DevOps online training enlightens you on how DevOps differs from Agile. One tenet of the Agile development process is to deliver working software in smaller... [More]

Myths Of Devops - Automation Is Not DevOps
Introduction A few years ago, if you would have asked me to define DevOps , my answer would have sounded something like “Mumble mumble automation, mumble, automation, mumble mumble, infrastructure-as-code, mumble mumble, strategery.” Thinking that DevOps equated to automation had mostly to do with the fact that most of the DevOps people I talked to and articles I read really only spoke about automation with only indirect references to anything else. I mplementing automation is definitely a part of what it means to... [More]

大数据监控告警系统的实现
[PyCon2016演讲]大数据监控告警系统.md—/Users/eacon/Documents/blog_md_files/techblog/architecture [PyCon2016演讲]大数据监控告警系统的实现 以下内容整理自 PyCon2016 深圳场的 演讲稿 --大数据监控告警系统。 开场 本次演讲将会一步步地,向大家展示我们这个系统架构。 由于时间有限,我不会深入讲解技术细节(事实上我一开始做好、发给Sting的ppt有多达40页现在精简到20多页)。 我希望达到的效果是-- 对于有相关项目经验的开发人员,可以起到一个参考的作用 对于没有监控项目经验的人员,也可以让你对如何实现监控平台有一个快速的认知 背景介绍 监控系统对于大数据平台的重要性不言而喻。 那要实现这样一种系统,我们需要解决哪些问题? 首先我们要知道如何采集监控数据,监控数据主要有三种 系统本身的运行状态,例如CPU、内存、磁盘、网络的使用情况 各种应用的运行状况,例如数据库、容器等 处理网络上发送过来的数据 有了数据,我们需要采用合适的存储方案来保存海量的监控数据 然后需要把这些数据在web界面进行展示,把监控指标的变化情况可视化...

Building the Foundations for Long Term Devops
A Positive Outlook There is no shortage of industry research that paints a positive landscape for DevOps. For instance, the recent nationwide case study presented by IBM DevOps indicated a 50% increase in code quality and 70% decrease in downtime. A key attributable to this success was the development of a collaborative culture, where IT and business began to come together as a closer knit team to deliver products effectively (“Nationwide,” 2016). Without a Strong Foundation ... [More]

Timebox Planning Widget V2.9.1 with new Feature “show dependencies” supports SAFe’s Program Board

SAF3 3.0 Program & Portfolio Template
In the Old Days, for the Agile ALM for Scrum process template, there was an RMC "Helper File" which contained RTC/SCUM Process Guidance for Workitems, Roles, Workflows, etc. https://jazz.net/agile-alm-scrum-practices/#practice.mgmt.scrum.base-ibm/guidances/practices/defect_wi_type_F1B47105.html Are there any plans to create a similar artifact for the SAF3 3.0 Program & Portfolio Templates? Thanks.
