OBS OPS

A SLE Customer Story

Agenda

1. Open Build Service (why?)
2. Circumstances (what?)
3. What we use (how?)
4. Advantages (yeah!)
5. Challenges (oh no!)
6. Let's Talk

Why?

• One Code-Base
• One Version
• Small Group
• Fast Release Cadence

• Many Code-Bases
• Concurrent Versions
• Many People
• Slow Release Cadence

2006

"Release engineering is the difference between manufacturing software in small teams or startups and manufacturing software in an industrial way that is repeatable, gives predictable results, and scales well."

 

- Boris Debic of Google Inc. (March 2015). "The Practice and Future of Release Engineering". IEEE Software

• ...ship SLE with my software?

SaaS Challenges

• Which stacks are possible?
• What software is available?
