Another exciting episode with DevOps/ IaC/ Terraform Gurus John Smoker Dennis Hagens where we talked about importance of Ops specifically visibility, troubleshooting and security when building your application delivery infrastructure.
EP29 – Don’t forget the “Ops” in building your “DevOps” world
Some key learnings:
- Key goal of DevOps and IaC is to “push code to production faster and do it in a scalable, stable way", however the last thing that always gets automated is the network, so even though a lot of organizations might feel that they've got things under control with automation, It may not necessarily be true from network, security and Ops/visibility perspective.
- Aviatrix platform automates several key functions without even writing a single line of code, so its not just about infrastructure as a code, but to write less code to begin with. Things such as "setting up peering, making your network behave dynamic in regards to route updates, failover etc are hard problems to solve that are not a given in cloud world.
- Aviatrix allows you to write our terraform codes on a much more abstract level making it more simpler, repeatable across clouds and intent based. BENEFIT: Reduces the amount of code and thus increases the maintainability tremendously.
-There is a split between dev and ops - Building and automating build time is relatively easy, but the ops part 100 X more difficult to to automate and that's where Aviatrix platform really shines.
BENEFIT: Remove distractions around ops, troubleshooting, visibility away from DevOps allowing them to focus on agility and application modernization that is directly tied to revenue.
-Aviatrix gets seamlessly inserted into your existing build process without upsetting the automation by inserting the Aviatrix TF provider code and gives instant benefit of security and visibility with self-service option for application teams to know how their apps are behaving and to fix performance issues.
-The cost of time you are spending on troubleshooting issues or addressing security concerns is equal to the time You're NOT spending improving your build or application side of things impacting your revenue/competitive advantage.
- Its never too early or too late to start with Aviatrix. The sooner the better though as it allows you to set the foundations correct and ensure you have simple, consistent Architecture with no compromise to security and visibility allowing you to operate at the speed of business opportunities [think tapping new services in a different CSP, merger and acquisitions scenarious, cost etc.]
- Don't be dependent on that one guy that wins the lottery. Build our environment that is simple, secure, repeatable and but can easily be managed by larger operations team.
Hope you will enjoy.
