Unleashing the Gorillacorn - DevOps in Very Large Enterprises
summary
Claims a measurable win: a replatformed cloud environment yields 48 dev and 24 production updates in four months versus 3 and 3 on-prem — about a 16x increase — and a customer case estimates over $1M/year saved. Implements opinionated pipeline and compliance as code, uses CI/CD (Jenkins/Bamboo/GoCD), container scanning and git-leaks, deploys blue-green deployments and self-healing self-tainting ephemeral instances. Picks a single masthead application, automates SOE via CloudFormation/Terraform, and shows the approach works at scale.
