Agile software projects challenges

Software development tooling

• Getting complex

• Expensive to deploy and maintain

Team is agile, infrastructure is not

• Provisionning delays

• Architecture is evolving along with the business requirements changes

Agile Product definition

• Iterative requires strong collaboration

• Sometimes distributed team

• Frequent tests run

Cloud basics

SAASPAASIAAS


Cloud attributes

• Self-service & rapid provisionning

• Pay per use

• Rapid elasticity: illusion of infinitecapacity

• Network based, location independence

• Cloud APIs

• Measured service, SLAs

Cloud and Agile software projects

Self-organizing teams •

Continuous attention to technical •

excellence and good design--

Working software is delivered •

frequently (weeks rather than--months)--

Regular adaptation to changing •

circumstances--

Welcome changing requirements •

even late in development--

Agile principles


Leverage Saas for software build

• Description: Provision a software factory in the cloud

• Pro:

• Lead time, you have a software factory within minutes

• Try it with your credit card, show the benefits.

• Con

• Watch for confidentiality issues if your app is sensitive.

Scenario 1: develop in the cloud

• Description: Integrate SAAS tools into your on-premise software factory

• Pro:

• Some tools enables real-time collaboration for remote teams while mostproducts available for private installation don’t.

• Tools remains up-to-date and patched.

• Con

• Assess integration costs and lock-in risk versus in house deployment

Scenario 2: integrate cloud/web SAAS solutions

Leverage the SaaS ecosystem can speed up agile teams bootstrap, and give access to best in class tools during the build phase.

Case study : Cross browser testing

• Currently manually testing myweb product on variousbrowsers, both desktop and mobile

• http://www.gatewickairport.com/

• Need to automatically runautomated tests on multiple browsers

Context

• Leverage Sauce labs offer !

• Features: systematic videorecording, debugging tools. tunnelled accesses to privateservers

• compile app: travel.war

• download CLI

• login

• create newrelic

• create redis

• create mysql

• push app binaries

(travel.war)

– with route, ram,

• watch logs

• watch metrics

• scale 5

Iaas or PaasConsider IAAS if you have Consider PAAS if you have

TechnologyAtypical/specific needs

(protocols, language, middlewares)

Standardized software stack and

programming model

• An existing wide technical

expertise (from build, qa, run) to

manage the whole stack

• A capacity to select, integrate,

maintain many individual

heterogeneous components

Skills

A preference for reduced

complexity and a focus customer

needs rather than tech plumbing

Team

A team with tight collaboration

among dev and ops withshared

ownership of infrastructure

automation

A dev oriented team with few

competencies across the full

stack

Cloud architecture

• Design for failure , for scalability , hence stateless

• No local data on servers, servers storage is ephemeral => move all state to services

• Data: cipher you “critical” data when running in the cloud: HTTPS, ciphered payload (CPU is not expensive)

• Separate read and writes services (CQRS pattern)

• Hybrid patterns

• Cloud overflow

• Web UI in the cloud, Core web services on premise

Cloud lock-in

• Encapsulate API usage of externalservices

• Balance usage of added value services versus lock-in. Automation: use the maximum of multicloud APIs: jclouds, fog, libcloud,

Developing and running: The key points

Public / Hybrid / Private infrastructure

•Controlable model but more

integration work required

•Private for dev and public

for run (or the opposite!)

•Mixed run mode (private for

webservices and critical

data, cloud for front-end

and CDN)

•Overflow/bursting to Cloud

•Cost might not be that effective

if you’re using basic infra

(automation is key)

•Have to deal with

confidentiality and security

•Risk of lock-in

•Reversibility to

private/dedicated hosting

• Enable access to a large

ecosystem: monitoring, logs

PUBLIC

More mature and more

comprehensive

HYBRID

Take the best of both

worlds

•Significant investments and

maintenance costs

•Much restricted offering

•Products are still maturing for

basic offers (Iaas, Paas)

•Fewer products for

specialized services

(RDBMS, NoSql, Caches,

Logs, Analytics, BigData…)

PRIVATE

Deploy a IAAS of

PAAS framework on

your premises

Team Impact of cloud usage ??

Cloud impact on roles distribution within an agile team:

organization transformation: moves the lines between dev and ops

Q&A: What about you?

What’s your experience so far ?

• Interactive part

– more audience survey: SMB vs large enterprise

– split according to survey results

– share your experience using your post-its and organize them into clusters:

• challenges/issues (orange post-it)

• success/solutions (green post-its)

Cloud automation enables social coding

Automation with Cloud boosts opensourcereuse/sharing/social coding => more productive

e.g. netflix opensource components

distribution of opensource or cots as

AMIs/appliances/ docker images / paas apps
