“Kubernetes is really flexible, but sometimes you have to be Kubernetes experts to get the most out of it. What enterprises need is a secure, opinionated experience through this.”

There is a widening gap between the best and worst-performing companies, according to the latest DORA DevOps report, produced by Nicole Forsgren. The report makes a big deal about a so-called elite group that represents 21% of respondents working at companies that have adopted continuous delivery and other best practices. Yet, if you look at both elite and high performers, that grouping actually declined from 55% to 44% of the study’s respondents. Perhaps this gap of performance is not as dramatic as the report concludes?
The report uses cluster analysis to segment the respondents. Several metrics appear to improve gradually when progressively comparing the Low, Medium, High and Elite groups. However, the statistical approach does not actually predict this improvement, but instead just shows that these companies have a common set of traits.

In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, Aleksandr Tavgen, technical architect for Playtech, described how the Isle of Man-based company has succeeded in achieving what the company says is “full observability” of Playtech’s operations and SaaS platform, thanks largely to InfluxDB 2.0, Flux and the OpenTracingAPI.

AIOps to the Rescue?
For the last two weeks in August, we were investigating the concept of AIOps, where the power of machine learning and big data is applied to taming the growing chaos of systems management.
Previously on The New Stack, Kayla Matthews offered an introduction to the technology in “What Is AIOps — And Why You Should Care.”
"The goal is to turn the data generated by IT systems platforms into meaningful insights,” she writes. While artificial intelligence is a big component of AIOps, it also includes best practices from automation, performance management and service management. IT can provide holistic insights that would otherwise take endless hours of discussion in the company "war room." But it also requires a change in thinking, an encouragement for IT professionals to think outside of their silos.
What does AIOps look like, you may ask? We have you covered. This week, we have a video demo showing how OpsRamp’s IOps platform works. You can see how OpsRamp monitors and analyzes the operations of a set of complex infrastructures. These infrastructures might typically span across several data cloud environments or data centers on container or monolithic platforms, which OpsRamp condenses into a single console interface.

Atomist, the company that provides tooling for automating the delivery of cloud native software, is at the front lines of a problem plaguing the enterprise — software drift. Earlier this year, the company released an open source tool to visualize the various software versions in a given code base, and now the company has taken the next step, with the release of Atomist Drift Management, “a single tool to expose, manage and fix drift in their code.”

When trying to build your own serverless applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS), it’s likely that you stumbled across the AWS Serverless Applications Model (SAM). AWS provides this tool to try and make development with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and other serverless services a little easier. This story provides an overview migrating the most common parts of a SAM application over to the Serverless Framework.

In this contributed post, Twain Taylor looks at the four different approaches that enterprises have when deploying Kubernetes to the enterprise: PaaS, as a cloud service, a managed service, or in-house. He debates the merits of each approach in this clear, easy-to-understand story.

Cloud native technologies — containers, microservices and serverless functions that run in multicloud environments and are managed through automated CI/CD pipelines — are built on DevOps principles. You cannot have one without the other. However, the interdepencies between DevOps culture and practices and cloud native software architectures are not always clearly defined.
This ebook helps practitioners, architects and business managers identify these emerging patterns and implement them within an organization. It informs organizational thinking around cloud native architectures by providing original research, context and insight around the evolution of DevOps as a profession, as a culture, and as an ecosystem of supporting tools and services.
