Containers are isolated workload environments in a virtualized operating system. They speed up workload processes and application delivery because they can be spun up quickly. They also provide a solution for application-portability challenges because they are not tied to software on physical machines. Docker is a popular tool used for this. Kubernetes is the most popular configuration tool for managing Docker containers.

Microservices are single-function applications comprise small, self-contained units working together through APIs that are not dependent on a specific language. A microservices architecture is faster and more agile than a traditional application architecture

Containers are isolated environments, they can be used to deploy microservices quickly, regardless of the code language used to create each microservice.

In this session, I would like to share our experience how Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has helped us to build a highly efficient and successful global DevSecOps team. Below listed are some of the major challenges we had in addition to supporting multiple product stacks and varying skillset requirement.
· Maintain Product Security, Subscription and New Feature Compliance
· Frequent Product Upgrades & Migration – Seamless, Availability
· Various Deployment Requirements – Standalone, Clustered, DMZ
· Application Integration and Consistency
· Easy to Repeat and Scalable model
· Support more Services with less resources
Our answer to this growing problem was usage of SAFe ‘Scaled Agile Framework’ & ‘IaC - Infrastructure as Code’.
In detailed presentation we would like to share our learnings, best practices with participants and also include metrics showing the hours and effort saved.

I would like to give a 30 min presentation that covers the automation strategy used for two different types of software products in my group. One is a pure back-end system which is not exposed to the end-customer and the other is a customer-facing web application.

First one is a multi-tenant Data Hub running on Oracle which has about 7 TB of data. The engineering team uses Unix, Informatica and Oracle PL/SQL to maintain this hub. The hub is the heart of the platform and supplies data to several different downstream applications. I have been leading an automation initiative that revolves around this hub. The automation platform can carry out Regression, Smoke as well as Functional testing of the Data hub.

The second example would be that of our Enterprise Reporting system. This system hosts a bunch of BI reports for various OEMs on a web portal. The reports themselves are built on Angular & Pentaho with Greenplum & SQL Server being the back-end databases. The automation testing here involves the UI elements of the portal, the report KPIs as well as features like Email subscription, print, role based login etc.
