How to Survive Continuous Innovation ?
Sebastien Goasguen@sebgoa
SHARING A PERSPECTIVE
Thank you
Personal Story
Later raised $30M C round to “take on VMware”
Why this software ? How do we find them ? How do we choose ?
Why do we adopt them ?
Trends or fashion ?
Euca, Openstack, CloudStack, Kubernetes, Lambda
Example: “OMG Lambda is killing it, people are going
to skip containers and go straight to serverless …and forget about your cloud…”
GAFA R&D ~ State Budget
2015 data, now ~$100B/y
France ~$70B Israel ~$15B
Observations• Perceived increased pace of software innovation
• R&D budgets of corporations is greater than state (theoretical research)
• Not a “brain drain”, but a “corporate drain"
• Is that a problem ? Another keynote/openspace ?
• Expectations that the workforce can keep up with all these new technologies is unrealistic
LANDSCAPES and temptations …
IT’s THE FUTURE

FOMO
COOL vs NOT COOL
0-day Software … put in production
Term taken from Kris Buytaert
Why this Explosion ?
What happened in 2008 ?
Euca, Openstack, CloudStack, Kubernetes, Lambda

Open Source Now• Every vendor is doing OSS
• OSS conferences very vendor driven (except DoD and FOSDEM)
• Explosions of tools because we all share (good)
• Software go viral thanks to social media echo chambers
• Business model for OSS startup is harder
• Big corp can cannibalize you
Remember DevOps

Principles
• Work as a self-organizing team
• Empathy between dev and ops, no silos
• Deliver value early and continuously
• Solve customer’s problems
Agile Manifesto“
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
”
Remember DevOps
•Not here to build cool software
•Not here to be hip
•Here to provide solutions
…while having fun…

VMs in Containers !

Write a book
ADAPT
•Does not mean ADOPT
•Means: develop a culture of adaptation
Not only with the business but also with the industry/tools
Example: Docker• Image provenance and content
• Image size
• Image security
• Tooling (e.g Docker machine, Docker Swarm…)
• Who builds your images ?
• How are they monitored ?
• Where are the logs ?
Avoid the Stars Syndrome
Because Software Go Viral too!
Don’t forget
• Build solutions for your business
• Develop a culture that adapts to change
• Tools will not break your silos
• “Stay curious”
• Be critical but not a hater, don’t dismiss.
