With the ServiceNow Knowledge12 User Conference drawing to a close, our momentum is up and we can’t wait to apply all that we’ve learned! If you stopped by our booth than you likely met our presenter, Ron Gidron, and got a sneak preview into the new and improved Nolio ASAP and ServiceNow integration.
Last month at STAREAST 2012 Manoj Narayanan of Cognizant Technology Solutions gave a talk entitled ‘Testing in the DevOps World of Continuous Delivery’. He addressed many questions including the relationship between agile development and DevOps and how exactly an organization can make the switch. In her article, attendant Melanie Webb outlines the points targeted by Narayanan and offers useful insight into how moving to DevOps can speed deployment and improve ROI.
All over the world we are witnessing major companies shift their business to the cloud. This comes with obvious benefits but also creates new bottlenecks. Productivity increases exponentially, pushing DevOps in to more automated release processes to keep up with the growth. I recently came across a blog by Martin Tantow that nicely explains how the application of cloud technologies actually helps to bring Dev and Ops together. Adopting DevOps and the cloud require some major changes, but the statistics don’t lie. It’s worth it!
Continuous deployment aims to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it. When implemented with an automation solution like Nolio ASAP, it can give your company a real competitive advantage! This article, originally published on Stephen Smith’s blog, not only explains the process of continuous deployment but it also answers the question – What’s the hype?
Agile methods promote a process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, the rapid delivery of high-quality software, and responding to changing circumstances rather than strictly following a plan. Therefore, automation is key for the success of the Agile release process. I recently came across a blog by Tech Guy Alon Aizenberg that nicely explains why continuous delivery is not only a best practice, it’s a must practice!
Last week, hundreds of people learned how to improve their application deployment processes in a Hudson Continuous Integration (CI) environment in our live webinar.
If you weren’t one of these people, you don’t have to miss out entirely! We recorded the entire event so you have the freedom to watch and learn from this webinar whenever you want.
Using Hudson Continuous Integration (CI)? Learn how to fully automate complex deployments in this environment in our live webinar at the end of the month.
‘Enhancing Hudson Continuous Integration with Zero Touch Deployment™‘ is a free educational webinar that will show you how to overcome common complexities and challenges in Hudson CI. The webinar will be led by Nolio’s Product Director Ron Gidron, who will demonstrate how you can facilitate:
Each spring, the AlwaysOn Network, founded by former Red Herring and Upside Editor and Publisher Tony Perkins, polls a group of respected IT industry investors, vendors, venture capitalists, media types and other knowledgeable folks to find out what they know about up-and-coming companies.
“As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, socialize, and share this information is becoming extremely challenging,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “By providing innovative technologies that help enterprises better compete in this new era of information complexity and move their data out into the cloud, the OnDemand 100 represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace.”
