Enterprises with large, complex, “traditional” IT environments and organizations are making the move to OpenStack cloud platforms. While the development organizations have successfully transitioned to agile methods, deployments of the cloud are being made into legacy infrastructure & production environments managed by traditional operations and support organizations.
A model and best practices developed in recent real world engagements for OpenStack SI will be presented. Integration of agile work streams into these traditional environments, with maximum speed and effectiveness, will be specifically highlighted. Areas that will be covered are: Program Management & Governance; Architecture and System Engineering; I&T and Deployments; Production Support and Upgrades.
The audience will learn a model and best practices for deploying and maintaining OpenStack platforms into traditional IT environments.
