Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr” at Velocity 2009

“In the last week there were
67 deploys
of 496 changes
by 18 people”

Failure: what does recovery look like?
Environments: how long to spin up a
new one or copy an existing one?
Deploys: how often? how long do they
take? How often do they go wrong?
Why don’t we all move that fast today?

7. @bridgetkromhout
Not the goal:
“automate all the things”

8. @bridgetkromhout
The goal: shorter time from
idea to value

so what’s a
cloud
native
platform?

27. @bridgetkromhout
opinions optional
if you can deploy and operate
code in any capacity, you
have a platform

28. @bridgetkromhout

29. @bridgetkromhout
reasonable
constraints

30. @bridgetkromhout
Minimum Viable Platform
1. Routing and load balancing
2. Backing services broker
3. Infrastructure orchestration
4. Health management, monitoring, and recovery
5. Immutable artifact repository
6. Log aggregation
Casey West - The cloud-native future

31. @bridgetkromhout
structured contracts
determine the promises
a platform can keep

Large-scale cluster management
at Google with Borg - Verma et al. 2015
“Almost every task run
under Borg contains a
built-in HTTP server
that publishes
information about the
health of the task and
thousands of performance
metrics”
