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   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...

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...

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]

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]

[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...

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]

SAFe defines the  Program Board  as follows http://www.scaledagileframework.com/pi-planning/             As a matter of fact, Rational Team Concert (RTC) does not, including IBM's additional SAFe support, provide a similar visualization out-of-the-box . Therefore we have decided to implement a brand new feature named " show dependencies " into the  Timebox Planning Widget V2.9.1   This Feature is planned to be available as freeware in coming fall 2016. Feature... [More]

Is Scrum and/or SAFe the Framework you want to go for? Are you in Systems Engineering with HW, FW and SW Teams and need to maintain a rolling lookahead plan with lots of dependencies ? Are your Teams distributed all over the world? If you can answer some of the questions with YES I highly recommend you to give the brand new Rational Team Concert  Timebox Planning Widget V2.8.7  with  SAFe  support a chance. It fully supports  SAFe  on the Levels  Value Stream ,  Program  and  Team Of course we... [More]

Last month had the opportunity to lead a six-person IBM agile adoption team in starting an Agile Release Train (ART) in support of a larger telecom project (1000+ users) in Mumbai, India; using the newly released version 4.0 of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe® 4.0). In this post, I summarize the business drives, QuickStart approach, and some Early Results collected during the Inspect & Adapt session we conducted at the end of the three-week iteration.   Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) While I have had the pleasure of leading several...

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.
