DevOps is a Journey - Choose Your Own Adventure V2.0
Interested in DevOps but not sure how to get started? Join Fabian to explore the real meaning behind DevOps and how to begin your own DevOps Journey. Every organisation is different, but DevOps is a universal concept, and it can be applied anywhere. We'll explore some common patterns and approaches, both technical and cultural that can get your organisation started on their own adventure!
Outline/Structure of the Case Study
This Presentation will be as interactive as the audience wants or needs it to be. I can talk all the way through or pause at particular intervals to discuss with the audience the current state of the story and what should happen next, after that short discussion we then go on to see what actually happened and how it compares to the discussion.
This is the Structure :
Short intro to DevOps, how long we spend on this is dependent on the level of interaction by the attendees.
Summary on how to get started with DevOps:
- Picking the right project to test the waters on
- Putting a plan together
Step through the plan with a real life example, from an organisation I recently worked at.
We talk about the issues within the organisation both technical and cultural
- How the teams were structured :
- How they worked together (good and bad bits)
- How the teams could/should have been structured
- How we work around the team structure to maximize results
Tech practices
- Building tech capabilities to speed things up
- Getting started on pipelines
- Adding in complexity
Discuss the outcome
- Did we improve ?
Answer as many question from the audience as possible.
Learning Outcome
I hope this sparks ideas within people about how they can kick start new ways of working within their organisation.
The presentation doesn't solve everyone's problems but I believe its enough to give both leaders, managers and engineers inspiration to change and show them that its not that hard to give it a go.
Target Audience
Leaders and Engineers looking to change the way their teams work. Looking for ways to kick off technical projects to create new capabilities within their organisation.
Prerequisites for Attendees
Think about what's important to them and their organisation.. be prepared with questions. Taking questions is my favorite part of the presentation.

DevOps@IOOF: The Technical and Cultural Journey
May 19, 2015 Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Data Centre Summit - Sydney 2015, https://www.gartner.com/technology/summits/apac/data-center/index.jsp
Fabian Iannarella and Karl Chu share an overview of the technical and cultural challenges faced while introducing automation into their environment and changing the way development and infrastructure teams work together. They described where IOOF was 2 years ago, the reasoning behind the changes and why not all of their issues were technology bound. Automating their systems was just the beginning.
Getting Devs to Own Their Ops
Jul 25, 2014 DevOps Days Brisbane 2014 https://legacy.devopsdays.org/events/2014-brisbane/proposals/getting_devs_to_own_their_ops/
Fabian Iannarella and Karl Chu will give an overview about the self-serve infrastructure system that the team at IOOF is building to enable, encourage, and enforce development teams to own the ops of their application. They will describe where IOOF was a year ago, the challenges the team was facing, how some of those challenges were addressed, and the current state of the solution. Fabian and Karl will also delve slightly into IOOF's implementation of role-based Puppet deployment that transfers complete ownership of the infrastructure code to the development team.

LAST is Australia's cross-functional conference. Rather than retreat to our trade and talk among our peers-in practice we want LAST to be a place where people can learn about the holistic process of product and service development, or growing organisations and our own skills and careers.
This conference is also about learning and sharing from our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;
- Interactive sessions over presentations
- Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
- Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
- Diversity of content over following industry best practices
- Evidence based approaches over novel ideas
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
