who do the work, processes that define what work is needed and how it is performed, and tools to enable and support these activities.

Portfolio Evaluation Is The Key To Migrating Applications To The Cloud
PDF | Cloud | 2016
Cloud services in the enterprise are growing,
as customers increasingly want to get out of the data center business. While these services offer flexible new options for CIOs, infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals, and other business and technology leaders, they pose new challenges in sourcing and ongoing administration, particularly as attention shifts to systems of record and multicloud destinations. Many customers not only take a cloud-first view of migration but also pursue a “public cloud or bust” strategy. I&O pros should use effective
portfolio evaluation — including strategic rightsourcing — to identify the right providers and migration candidates.

Jenkins on AWS
PDF | Cloud | Septembre, 2016
Although there are many ways to deploy the Jenkins open-source automation server on Amazon Web Services (AWS), this whitepaper focuses on two specific approaches. First, the traditional deployment on top of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Second, the containerized deployment that leverages Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS). These approaches enable customers to take advantage of the continuous integration/ continuous delivery (CI/CD) capabilities of Jenkins. Using an extensive plugin system, Jenkins offers options for integrating with many AWS services and can morph to fit most use cases (e.g., traditional development pipelines, mobile development, security requirements, etc.).
How to effectively operate a bimodal IT Strategy

In this article we dive down into the details to show you which providers have the lowest-cost options for cloud compute instances and under which circumstances. We also cover what’s been changing in cloud pricing over the last six to nine months.
Cloud Security Report
PDF | Cloud | January, 2017
In the last few years the IT industry has crossed the chasm and cloud adoption no longer looks like an exotic proposition. This is as profound a paradigm shift as the Internet transformation appeared to be two decades ago, and it is driving an equally powerful change in the way we must evaluate the threat landscape. In 2017, we see a consolidation of threats in the very topmost layers of the computing model. The shift suggests that new approaches and fresh thinking will be required for businesses looking to increase their security posture and manage risk in cloud and hybrid environments.
Jenkins the definitive guide ebook
PDF | Cloud | 2011
This book is aimed at relatively technical readers, though no prior experience with Continuous Integration is assumed. You may be new to Continuous Integration, and would like to learn about the benefits it can bring to your development team. Or, you might be using Jenkins or Hudson already, and want to discover how you can take your Continuous Integration infrastructure further. Much of this book discusses Jenkins in the context of Java or JVM-related projects. Nevertheless, even if you are using another technology stack, this book should give you a good grounding in Continuous Integration with Jenkins. We discuss how to build projects using several non-Java technologies, including as Grails, Ruby on Rails and .NET. In addition, many topics, such as general configuration, notification, distributed builds and security are applicable no matter what language you are using.

Documentation Writing for System Administrators
PDF | Sys Admin | 2003
Documentation is a critical skill for system administrators. I really do not think that it generally comes into consideration when senior sysadmins get hired or when they interview prospective junior sysadmins. But after having read Mark Langston’s excellent booklet, I find myself convinced that the ability to document well and the habit of thorough documentation should be considered essential qualifications for any sysadmin position.
