Leveraging Devops across the Enterprise Vol. II

It’s often said that knowledge knows no boundaries. We witnessed this for ourselves at the second volume of the Leveraging DevOps across Enterprise virtual meetup. Tech-savvy minds from different locations came together to discuss how the DevOps world is evolving, making it a great session, full of thought-provoking learnings and interactions.

Our speakers shared their thoughts about many DevOps trends like DevSecOps, Threat Modeling, MLOps, Skupper, and CodePush.

The discussions were about how DevOps has evolved into different aspects, entwined with other cutting-edge technologies like AI, ML, IoT, Blockchain, etc. The interest level in the sessions can be gauged from the fact that the audience was really interactive too. The number of questions asked after each session are clear indicators that the speakers were not on a one-way street. As another testimony to audience engagement, the resounding participation by all attendees in the 'Rapid Fire Recap' quiz turned out to be the icing on the cake!

Key topics that were discussed:

• Threat modeling and its role in addressing the security concerns
• The current evolving phase of DevOps into DevSecOps
• An interesting concept of future-proofing a DevOps ecosystem using solar system concept - where spot instances are planets, developers are astronauts, and the DevOps ecosystem, as a whole, is the solar system!
• How to deploy ML models by leveraging DevOps and how does the entire pipeline look like with its toolchain, followed by a crisp demo in the end
• Real-time solution (as part of the demo) for addressing multi-cluster/multi-region communication challenges using Skupper
• Use of Codepush to empower direct hybrid app deployments to user devices
