Manufacturing has widely adopted standardized and automated processes to create designs, build them, and maintain them through their life cycle. However, many modern manufacturing systems go beyond mechanized workflows to introduce empowered workers, flexible collaboration, and rapid iteration. Such behaviors also characterize open source software development and are at the heart of DevOps culture, processes, and tooling. In this session, Red Hat’s Gordon Haff will discuss the lessons and processes that DevOps can apply from manufacturing using: - Container-based platforms designed for modern application development and deployment. - The ability to design microservices-based applications using modular and reusable parts. - Iterative development, testing, and deployment using platform-as-a-service and integrated continuous delivery systems.

MANUFACTURING • TRANSPORTATION • R&D
BUSINESS CHANGE IS ACCELERATING, AND OLD I.T.
APPROACHES CAN'T KEEP UP

4. DELIVERING SOFTWARE:
THE REALITY VS. THE GOAL

6. DevOps applies open source tools,
principles, and practices with...

7. CULTURE
of collaboration
valuing openness
and transparency

8. DEVOPS:
THE WHAT & THE WHY
AUTOMATION
of process from
development
through ongoing
operations

9. DEVOPS:
THE WHAT & THE WHY
An evolving
PLATFORM
that optimizes
for flexible,
dynamic
workloads

10. What can manufacturing
and open source teach us?

11. 6 Principles for Success
● Open your culture
● Automate to accelerate repeatable processes
● Drive modularity and reusability
● Secure and optimize the supply chain
● Measure, iterate, and improve
● Adopt innovative tooling

13. “But our culture is too difficult!”
Really?
Consider post-war Japan.

14. Culture = f (l, o, i, t, …)
where:
l = leadership
o = organization
i = incentives
t = trust
… = many other things
Open source also offers guidance

15. incentives
matter

16. transparency

17. rich
communication
flows

18. don’t
fear
failure*
*small / fast

19. Automate (many of) the Things

20. AUTOMATE TOWARDS CI/CD

21. Automation engine that
can automate the entire application lifecycle
and continuous delivery pipeline.
Automation language
that can be read and written across IT.
From development… …to production.
ANSIBLE PLAYBOOK
DEV/TEST Q/A OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT OUTSOURCERS
COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO DEVOPS.
A Common Language Across DevOps

22. Beyond Local Maxima: Reuse

23. Platform thinking wins
“45–47% passenger cars will use
one of top 20 platforms by 2015.”
EvaluServe

24. Componentized services plus APIs
Lighter-weight communications
protocols
Improved understanding of
functional separation
More open source and vendor-
neutral philosophies
Scale-out infrastructure
standardization and automation
Alignment with evolving
development practices

26. Do you know where your software came from?
“Almost 40% of general
images [on Docker Hub]
have high priority
vulnerabilities.”
-Banyan, 2015

27. Strategies for sourcing software
Wild West
Go ahead
and grab it!
Blacklist
Is it from a
known bad
source?
Whitelist
Is it a known good source?
Digitally signed/securely delivered
Rapid updates for vulnerabilities
Repeatable release processes

28. “Without data, you’re just another person with
an opinion.”
W. Edwards Deming,
champion of statistical
process control

29. What are your key metrics?
