An Introduction to DevOps

An Introduction to DevOps

It’s challenging to understand and define what DevOps exactly is. And, that’s why if you know fundamental concepts of DevOps that most people associate with and the history of how it evolved then get a holistic view on it.

The Origin of DevOps

DevOps is a perfect example of agile software development. The idea of DevOps came from the need to keep up with the increased software velocity and…

I really overspecced on CPU for this one... 6 cores and it doesn’t even break a sweat with an on the fly transcode

Gary Gruver shares his amazing DevOps transformation of the entire HP LaserJet software pipeline, which improved lead times from 6 weeks to 24 hours.

By doing this, they created fast feedback, where a developer would know quickly whether the code they committed worked within hours (running the full regression test would take 24 hours).

Before vs. After

Build cycle time: 1 week -> 3 hours (10-15 builds per day)

Commits: 1 commit/day -> 100 commits/day

Regression test cycle time: 6 weeks -> 24 hours

(Again, the improvements are astonishing. Gary and team improved almost all cycle-time/lead-time measures by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude.)

CALLING OUT ALL TERRARIA BUILDERS FOR A FULL LETSPLAY!

Alright, we are going to have a brand new map where couple more active players are welcomed.

We are going to play a full let's play but also having building as the main aspect.This is a build server not a race to the endgame so we are not doing skeletron or WoF right after day one, and definitely not alone. We will work as a team and raid the dungeon together.

You must be able to build something better than just a wooden box with wooden walls. Let's all be friends and no hoarding stuff or griefing. No hacking and building boring boxes or you will be banned .P 

We have tshock to prevent griefing and some shops where you can buy blocks and rare items. Shops use SEconomy currency.  

World is up 24/7 to accommodate different time zone player whom all are welcomed ( I myself am one that lives at the other side of the world :D)

send me a message or reblog and write your in game name which you will use.

Build Servers

When I started working at my last job, I was introduced to the world of build servers. Sure, I had heard about them in the past but my employer before that was a bit lacklustre when it came to implementing anything that might have improved their development process.

My first experience was with CruiseControl.NET and, I have to say, I rather liked it.  We have used it on practically every project and we haven't encountered anything that it can't do.  It doesn't need much attention, either.  When a new project is needed, we add the new settings to ccnetconfig.config and we are good to go.  I think I can count the number of times I've had to do anything to it on one hand.

I like taking a look round for alternatives and while an afternoon procrastinating on Balsamiq's Tech blog I came across the steps they take to do a Balsamiq Mockups release.

One thing that caught my eye was their build server, Jenkins, which I'd never heard of before, so, when I had a bit of time a couple of evenings ago, did the inevitable Google search to see if I could use for building .NET projects.  Sure enough, I could!  In fact, I can't believe how easy it is to set Jenkins up to build .NET projects.  I'm going to look into it a little further and report at a later date.

P.S For all you .NET developers out there, to help you along your way, it's worth taking a look at this blog.
