Speed. Quality. Innovation. That is what you are tasked with day in and day out… delivering superior user experiences that excite and engage your customers. But every benefit of beating your competition to market disappears if the app fails to perform in production. With development now happening in sprints, testing can no longer be sequential. Quality must be a focal point at every stage in the SDLC.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Scott Edwards, Director of Product Marketing at CA Technologies, will discuss how to “shift quality left” to make QA more than just a single step in the SDLC. By automating the creation of test and virtual services, and enabling access to realistic test data and scenarios early in the SDLC, you can drive a pervasive, continuous quality process integrated earlier throughout the development process.

Why Startups Need Cloud for Growth | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
One reason a lot of entrepreneurs flock to cloud-based services for their business is the cost. Native applications require licenses that are either too expensive or require elaborate set-up across all devices.
In a recent article on the Entrepreneur, Bask Iyer, the CIO and Senior Vice President of Technology at Juniper Networks responded to the question, ‘what entrepreneurs should put in the cloud?’ His answer: “Everything.” Bask elaborates by pointing out the ability of cloud to scale-up and scale-down at ease, the ease with which you can deploy plug-and-play cloud solutions for almost everything and its ability to offer a level playing field to companies, big and small.
Do We Need Another New Operating System? By @ABridgwater | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]
With the advent (or surge in popularity) of cloud computing, our use of the so-called ‘computer operating system’ is coming into question.
Given that the cloud exists on the back end to drive power to our ‘endpoint’ devices (in whatever form they may be) today, the way those devices handle the user experience comes down to the user interface almost as much as it does the operating system, or so the argument goes.
Virtual Machines vs #Containers at @DevOpsSummit New York [#DevOps #Docker #Microservices]
There is no question that the cloud is where businesses want to host data. Until recently hypervisor virtualization was the most widely used method in cloud computing. Recently virtual containers have been gaining in popularity, and for good reason. In the debate between virtual machines and containers, the latter have been seen as the new kid on the block – and like other emerging technology have had some initial shortcomings. However, the container space has evolved drastically since coming onto the cloud hosting scene over 10 years ago. So, what has changed?
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Tenko Nikolov, founder and CEO of Kyup, will discuss the security, speed, scalability, cost and outlook for the future of container cloud hosting.
Death of ‘On Average’ By @Schmarzo | @CloudExpo [#BigData #IoT #M2M]
People and organizations are accustomed to relying upon “on average” guidelines in order to manage their lives and businesses. But “on average” guidelines are severely flawed. In reality, you are either spending too much or spending too little on your individual customers; you are wasting money on over-served customers and leaving money on the table on under-served customers.
However, big data changes that paradigm. We should reject running our businesses using “on average” rules of thumbs. We now have the detailed data and the analytic capability to understand behaviors, tendencies, propensities, characteristics, trends and patterns at the individual level – whether those individuals are humans or machines – and we can leverage these insights to make improved business decisions.
