Today’s agenda
• An overview of DevOps and AWS
• A fully visible cloud with BMC TrueSight
• NICE InContact transforms its enterprise IT via the AWS
Cloud
• Q&A/discussion

4.
Learning objectives
• Why and how to transform your IT architecture with a DevOps model.
• How to manage complex infrastructure environments, including on-
premises and cloud.
• Why and how to employ microservices and containers across your
environment.
• How to get unified visibility of your AWS environment and on-premises
data centers.

DevOps on AWS
Michael Miller, Solutions Architect,
Amazon Web Services, Inc.

6.
Traditional development models are obsolete
Business is
increasingly
software-
driven.
End-users
expect both
continuous
improvement
and stability
from
applications.
IT needs to be
able to
provision
infrastructure
as rapidly as
developers
demand it.
An organization’s
pace of innovation
is largely
constrained by
their ability to
develop
applications.

DevOps on AWS
AWS provides on-demand infrastructure resources and tooling built to enable common
DevOps practices

8.
Provision the server, storage, and networking capacity you
need on demand.
Deploy independently, as a single service, or a group of
services.
Make configuration changes repeatable and standardized.
Build custom templates to provision resources in a controlled
and predictable way.
Use version control to keep track of all changes made to
your infrastructure and application stack.
Infrastructure as code
Replace traditional infrastructure provisioning and management with code-based techniques

9.
Build services around the business capabilities you require.
Scale up and down as required with virtually no notice.
Make configuration code changes repeatable and
standardized.
API-driven model enables management of infrastructure
with language typically used in application code.
Free developers from manually configuring operating
systems, system applications, and server software.
Microservices
Build applications as a set of small services that communicates with other services
through APIs

10.
Maintain visibility and auditability of activity in your
application infrastructure.
Assess how application and infrastructure performance
impact end-user experience.
Gain insight into the root causes of problems or
unexpected changes.
Support services that must be available 24/7 as a
result of continuous integration/continuous delivery.
Create alerts based on thresholds you define.
Logging and monitoring
Capture, categorize, and analyze data and logs generated by applications and infrastructure

11.
Model and visualize your own custom release workflow.
Automate deployments of new code.
Improve developer productivity and deliver updates
faster.
Find and address bugs quicker with more frequent and
comprehensive testing.
Store anything from source code to binaries using
existing Git tools.
Continuous integration and continuous delivery
Rapidly and reliably build, test, and deploy your applications, while improving quality and
reducing time to market.

12.
Benefits of DevOps on AWS
Get started
quickly
and pay as
you go
Automate
systems
operations
Scale without
infrastructure
constraints
Improve
visibility
and security
Leverage fully
managed
services
