DevOps role in organization structure

DevOps changes the traditional models of Software Development and IT Operations in a business. DevOps brings together Software Development and IT Operations as programmable infrastructure or infrastructure as code.

DevOps is about managing the configuration of infrastructure using automation and programming via Agile, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.

Continuous Integration automates the building and testing of code in a test environment (that's an exact clone of the production environment) as changes are made to a version control system.

Continuous Delivery controls the phases of Continuous Integration, and deploys new changes to the production environment.

The CI/CD services of the infrastructure follow the client-server models of microservices architecture. Microservices require orchestration software to build and deploy distributed services hosted on virtualization platforms. Those distributed services use a centralized MQ/API for inter-service communication to exchange system-related events. Additional network management services monitor and report changes as they happen.

Business: Management, Requirements, Use Cases, Features, Strategy, Markets, Industires

DevOps: Management, Application Development, Orchestration, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery

IT Ops: Analytics, Provision, Configuration, Orchestration, Deploy, Monitor, Report

Software Devel: Design, Code, QA Testing, Document, Deploy

OpenStack+Ceph as Software-Defined Storage

SDS reduces the costs of the management of growing data stores by decoupling storage management from its hardware to allow for centralized management of cheaper, popular commodity hardware. The example SDS ecosystem uses open source software like OpenStack as a front-end interface on top of Ceph as the resource provider of a RADOS cluster of commodity solid-state drives. OpenStack provides user-friendly wrappers for accessing and modifying underlying Ceph storage. OpenStack comes in the form of distributed microservices with RESTful API's: Block (Cinder), File (Manila), Image (Glance), and Object (Swift). Each microservice can scale-out as a cluster of stand-alone services to accommodate the varying demands of high-growth storage. With OpenStack the underlying Ceph storage can address the block storage needs, file storage needs, image storage needs, and object storage needs of datacenters adopting open source as their new norm in an industry trend for high performace and high a...

The meaning of time in reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of three basic machine learning paradigms, alongside supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Reinforcement learning is concerned with how software agents ought to take actions in an environment in order to maximize the notion of cumulative reward through the process of trial and error. In reinforcement learning an agent starts at an empty state then analyzes the available datasets according to a policy of positive states and negative states. Rather than being explicitly taught as in supervised learning the correct set of actions for performing a task, reinforcement learning uses rewards as signals for positive states and punishments as signals for negative states. The agent obtains the best path to a desirable reward as a cumulation of positive states and negative states. As compared to unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning is different in terms of goals. While the goal in unsupervised learning is to find similarities and differences...

Principal Component Analysis

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a common technique in statistical analysis, widely used for pattern recognition, data compression, image preprocessing, signal-noise analysis, and high resolution spectrum analysis. Principal Component Analysis transforms a group of activites into a set of unique components, where each component has a numerical degree of distance and relatedness from an agreed on centered component. The first component has the largest possible variance (it accounts for most of the variability in the group). Each succeeding component has the highest variance that is orthogonal to the preceding components. The transformation of the group proceeds linearly from a group with a high degree of dimensionality to a group with a low degree of dimensionality of which the components of the group with a low degree of dimensionality are uncorrelated. Principal Component Analysis is also used in the forecast of a most likely outcome through time-series analysis and regress...
