"Had very strange relationship with 'the business' โ€”ย went down for 48 hours. Unheard of. If it down for half-day, they would fired someone. But two days, they couldn't just fire someone โ€” they had to talk and introspect what was going wrong"

@djmkeane How did you start measuring these metrics? Did you have an automated approach before K8s?

David Keane20:05:14

@christian.kullmann any Service Management tool should do for the basics. When we started we were using CAโ€™s Global Service Desk but have migrated to Service Now. We count the CRโ€™s and the INโ€™s , so you need solid IT Service Mgmt record keeping. We built our own dashboard which brings in people data and we also built a Pod visualization tool so we knew how teams were organized.

@csomakk if you look carefully you can see seasonal peaks in Mar, June, Sept and Nov - a legacy of quarterly releases. With the massive dip in Dec/Jan for change freeze. When you plot for 8000 apps this is still pronounced, however for mature apps itโ€™s all but disappeared. For teams of high maturity they can choose to ignore YE change freezes. What we see with maturing teams is both the positive jaws and the flattening out of peaks and troughs. We have some way to go !

Metrics remove the subjectivity from communication

๐Ÿ’ฏ 3
๐Ÿ‘ 4
Mattijs Ghijsen07:05:08

Fully agree! But I do struggle with the โ€œhowโ€ in measuring DORA metrics. For example, a failed deployment may be interpreted in many different ways by a software development team. So how do you ensure that the numbers actually have the same meaning across the whole org, especially at such a large scale? Or do we just accept that there are different interpretations and allow for that?

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Steve Challis08:05:58

I guess if you are always measuring in the same way then its ok. The Value in metrics come from improvements against the baseline that you take. Yes DORA suggest "what good metrics look like" but as long as you're improving compared with how you were yesterday then it is useful. The harder thing is how do you actually surface that information? Most orgs I chat with look blankly when I ask them to share even the very basics of metrics. Another thing that I think is important to capture is the value that was actually delivered by the change that was made. This closes the feedback loop. Most changes will have a proposal about what the value will be from the change, but how many times do we measure if that value was realised? Without the above the biggest "development" problem that you have could be getting the business cases wrong for your changes. Therefore most of your effort is completely wasted.!! just my thoughts

Jelena Laketiฤ‡07:05:00

use DORA metrics to communicate instead of english.. i like that!

I owe you an answer @gbenischke ๐Ÿ™‚ In Visma we are doing the SSA by going with each team through a number of sections like: the system diagram, attack surfaces, secrets storage and other security best practices. Doing it at scale is a real challenge as there are teams that need to wait several weeks for this to be done and some are pressed as they can get off the tier, but we put in place a process that involves a Security Engineer from one team to do the assesment to another team.

Question from interns interviewing: "can we use GitHub CoPilot? If not, we don't want to work here." ๐Ÿ˜†

Dinkar14:05:01

This is true.. I have faced this.. and we need to provide right guardrails (encoded in platform) while allowing it. No, is not an option

Rosalind14:05:13

No to LLMs is not an option, but what models are used will a company decision.

Dinkar14:05:18

Exactly.. that's part of the guardrails and guidance (on data, models and operating context)

Olivier Jacques - AWS - DevEx17:05:08

Totally possible to have good open source LLMs for coding hosted privately in the cloud.

Dave Anderson14:05:17

Interesting concept is to feed a roadmap/plan/map/artefact into and agent and ask it questions:

Dave Anderson14:05:53

is this achievable, how can we improve it, where is the constraint, what is commodity....?

Rosalind14:05:53

We need to be very careful with which LLMs are used. Yes they will help transform but explainability and ethical considerations must be included. Are we sure bias is not included? Are you sure about the heritage of any code generated?

Whatโ€™s the difference from humans in that aspect? They also have bias and can use code of questionable heritage ๐Ÿคท

Sam Altman said it in interview with Lex Fridman: The models will always have a bias. Since there is no global uniform culture, it is all about choosing the bias per culture.

Pablo Jejcic14:05:20

even if there is bias, as long as there is traceability why not? I would be more concern on the heritage of the code and the traceability of any data used than the bias per se...

Rosalind15:05:27

If there is traceability itโ€™s much better today ChapGPT just makeโ€™s stuff up

Okay, developers are not obsolete. How about DevOps Handwaving Coaches? Asking for a friend.

My interpretation of current state of LLMs: The rubber duck responds your questions.

Ferrix Hovi - Principal Engineering Avocado - SOK (S Group)15:05:56

I see a correlation here. According to @mik, 8% of the value stream doesn't suck... And 40% of people are unhappy. It is marvelous that 60% of people can be contempt.

Pablo Jejcic15:05:25

@drandremartin how do you promote culture transformation when you know that all the new recruits will see the old culture (that we want to change) and leave or worse disengage?

โ˜๏ธ 1
Filip Berlikowski, CTO15:05:47

Be open to recruits about the fact that the transformation is needed. Be transparent about the plan of the transformation and make it clear that their role in that transformation is fundamental for its success.
