DevOps Unbound

DevOps has changed the game in almost every aspect of testing: who, what, when, where, and even why. What’s working, what needs to change immediately, and what challenges—and opportunities—lie ahead? Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Abel Wang from Microsoft, Tracy Miranda from CDF, Caroline Wong from Cobalt, Kurt Chase and Ben Simo from Tricentis all experts across the DevOps and testing community to share a variety of perspectives on how testing fits into the ever-evolving world of DevOps.

In this latest episode hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Adam Kalsey of Tricentis, Brian Dawson of the Linux Foundation and Caroline Wong of Cobalt to discuss why testing is considered the most frustrating bottleneck for developers and engineers. They will explain the benefits of testing early on in the SDLC and how to accelerate the feedback cycle with automated and continuous testing. Join this insightful panel to learn more about the pros and cons of testing, the value of shift left testing and how to effectively balance quality and speed.

Cornelia Davis from Weaveworks, Kurt Chase from Tricentis and Sanjeev Sharma from Truist join hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley to discuss lessons learned, how to overcome the obstacles we’ve faced over the past year, and how to improve business processes and make better decisions.

In this episode, Alan Shimel is joined by Christine Yen of Honeycomb, Paul Bruce of Tricentis and Mitch Ashley from ASG/MediOps to discuss how to effectively test the performance of your applications and how bringing observability into testing environments helps DevOps teams identify and resolve issues early in the SDLC.

Host Alan Shimel welcomes Larry Maccherone of Comcast, John Willis of Red Hat, Ravyn Manuel of the Smithsonian, Garima Bajpai of Capital Carbon Consulting and Mitch Ashley of Accelerated Strategies for a panel on DevOps unicorns. They’ll discuss the kinds of things you need to look at when choosing a DevOps vendor and the criteria people usually use to base their decisions. How do you choose a vendor that is a good fit for your organization? How do you know if you made the right choice?

Every app development need seems to ultimately land on developers. Build in security. Shift left testing. Provide users cooler, more customized experiences at cloud speed and scale. And do it all faster, of course. How do we accommodate the rising expectations without burning out developers? What can other team members do to lighten the load and allow developers to focus on the creative work they thrive on? Alan is joined by Adam Kalsey of Tricentis, Tracy Ragan of DeployHub, Justin Hutchings of GitHub, and Mitch Ashley of ASG. 

Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Kurt Chase ‎Senior Director, Global Release Management of Tricentis, Charity Majors, Co-Founder at Honeycomb, and Ravyn Manuel, Sr. Application Manager at the Smithsonian as they discuss Observability and Continuous Improvement. Observability at enterprise scale brings with it additional Application Lifecycle Management requirements. Success requires knowing which changes result in improvements and which don’t produce the positive results, and how that information must make it back to the DevOps teams through feedback loops. Join this panel of experts for an engaging discussion on the topic, including tips and ideas that can help you and your organization.

Managing infrastructure as code through GitOps can be a game changer for organizations. But when is a GitOps approach best used or not a fit?

Joined on today’s episode by Brendan O’Leary of GitLab, Parag Doshi of Tricentis, Tracy Ragan of DeployHub, and Mitch Ashley of ASG/MediaOps.
