Finn Lorbeer (@finnlorbeer) is a quality enthusiast working for Thoughtworks Germany. I met Finn earlier this year at the German Testing Days where he presented the transformation story at Otto.de. He helped transform one of their 14 “line of business” teams by changing the way QA was seen by the organization. Instead of a WALL between Dev and Ops the teams started to work as a real DevOps team. Further architectural and organizational changes ultimately allowed them to increase deployment speed from 2-3 per week to up to 200 per week for the best performing teams.

Andi got to chat with Jason McKee (@mckeejm) (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamckee) and Patrick Huber (https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-huber-36b42138) who are enabling Faster Delivery of Applications at Humana using Cloud Foundry. They tell us why they like a PaaS approach for their new apps, why they focus on 12-factor apps and what role monitoring has to play

Chatting with Anand Ahire, Sr Dir of Product Management from Electric Cloud

Electric Cloud started DevOps Enterprise Summit 3 years ago – working with Gene Kim and others helped them to transforming it into a key conference where large enterprises share their DevOps transformation stories.

In this chat we talk about pipelines, containers, microservices, cloud and how Electric Cloud helps companies to build pipelines in a technology and cloud agnostic way – including Dynatrace as one of the tools in the DevOps Toolchain to provide key metrics for the automated feedback loop.

Gene Kim has been promoting a lot of the great DevOps Transformation stories from Unicorns (Innovators) but more so from "The Horses" (Early Adopters). The next DOES (DevOps Enterprise Summit) is just on its way helping him with his mission to increase DevOps adoption across the IT world.
In our 3 podcast sessions we discussed the success factors of DevOps adoption, the reasons that lead to resistance as well as how to best measure success and enforce feedback loops.
Thanks Gene for allowing us to be part of transforming our IT world.

Andi is at Star West in Anaheim (Disneyland). Besides joking with Mickey Mouse and Donald he also got to chat with Kirk Tuxhorn from Neotys about how load testing companies see and deal with the “Shift-Left Performance” movement. It is all about automation, integration and opening it up to a transforming set of performance engineers who are now embedded in the “DevOps / Continuous Delivery” Teams.

For some reason, Andi was in Madison, Wisconsin. He got a chance to catch up with Derek Abing (https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekabing ) from Sentry Insurance. They talked about the evolution of Dynatrace AppMon & UEM within Sentry Insurance. In particular, how it evolved from App Monitoring to Enterprise System Monitoring replacing several of their other tools they had in place such as SCOM, OpenView, SiteScope. Derek was also part of our Dynatrace AppMon & UEM 6.5 Early Access Program and sees this as a major step forward to make everyone a Performance Expert thanks to the enhancements in the Web Dashboards, Transaction Flow and the Automatic Problem Detection.

Guest Star: Anita Engleder - DevOps Manager at Dynatrace

In this second part of our podcast Anita gives us more insights into how new features actually get developed, how they measure their success and how to ensure that the pipeline keeps up with the ever increasing number of builds pushed through it.
We will learn more about the day-to-day life at Dynatrace engineering but especially about the “Lifecycle of a Feature, its feedback loop and what the stakeholders are doing to make it a success”

Guest Star: Anita Engleder - DevOps Manager at Dynatrace

As a follow up to our podcast with Bernd Greifender, CTO and Found of Dynatrace, who talked about his 2012 mission statement to the engineering team: “We go from 6 months 2 weeks release cycles” we now have Anita Engleder, DevOps Lead at Dynatrace on the mic.

Anita has been part of that transformation team and in the first episode talks about what happened from 2012 until 2016 where the engineering team is now deploying a feature release every other week, makes 170 production deployment changes per day and can push a code change into production within an hour if necessary. She will give us insights in the processes, the tools but more importantly about the change that happened with the organization, the people and the culture. She will also tell us what she and her “DevOps” team actually contribute to the rest of the organization. Are they just another new silo? Or are they an enabler for engineering to push code faster through their pipeline?
