Happy to see my contributions acknowledged in the broader (DevOps) community.

How they did it: 6 companies that scaled DevOps

Was soo much fun at Yahoo doing disruptive s***; finding allies; changing culture; empowering developers with modern platforms; removing barriers between idea and execution; driving up ownership; removing unnecessary hops/layers; lowering TTD/TTM; making strategic bets -- and so much more.

Artwork: DevOps Patterns and Antipatterns

Great artwork of my DevOpsDays NYC talk last month, explaining DevOps patterns and anti-patterns; and some great feedback (from some well-respected folks):   "The topic from @KishoreJalleda is one of the best I’ve heard brought up in a long time. We need to progress closer to the customer and it’s a topic I’ve been fascinated by for a while now." "Availability is everyone’s job, not just ops!💯 @KishoreJalleda"  "YES! Uptime 9s don’t matter if users are unhappy! Hearing how much uptime is good enough makes me happy"  "Your customers don't care how many times a day you ship code, @KishoreJalleda on focusing on end users, not engineering velocity"  "It’s really important to know true empathy, live like your customers; embrace their experiences"  "Ops Engineering isn’t dead or going anywhere, but it’s time to take responsibility for our destiny."  "DevOps is table stakes. Everyone is moving toward that. The real…

Note— I have been giving talks around the world on this topic (SREcon, Velocity, etc). Figured, I can reach more people through an article. Any/all feedback is highly appreciated! "Research has shown that 72%–99% of ECG monitor alarms are false or clinically insignificant."Quite a staggering number and quite scary given that lives are at stake. If you have ever been to an ICU, you cannot help but notice the telemetry monitors and their constant beeping (they are such a common sight). In fact, I had the first-hand experience with these monitors in the NICU where my twin boys were being cared for after being born prematurely. I still remember vividly how my wife and I used to freak out every time one of these started to go off. Being an ops guy, I could not help but relate this to being paged while on call. Because I was curious, I did a bit of a research on this topic and found that some Ph.D. students had actually published a paper on this topic in 2013. It talks about how wh…

"DevOps" is more about Customer Feedback and Quick Learning than Culture/Process/Tools

Are you really "DevOps"? You have spent years going through an amazing transformation. You claim that you are now officially "DevOps". But, what now? Your customers don't really care if you are a DevOps shop/factory; they care about how your products --built from that shop/factory-- add value to their lives. Common sense stuff, right? Well, unfortunately, no. You'd be surprised as to how many people still quite don't get what the true spirit of DevOps is. You often hear things like:
We are a team of developers doing operations - we are DevOps!We are a Dev team continually deploying to production - we are DevOps!We are a team where Ops and Dev love each other - we are DevOps!We are a Dev team with no QA support; we are responsible for both manual and automated tests (unit, functional, perf, integrations, etc) - we are DevOps! We are a team of operations engineers doing software development - we are DevOps!
Sound familiar? While all the above are not fal…
