Changing Ops And Dev Culture At The BBC
summary
Shared BBC hosting causes cross-app outages and a 70% deployment failure rate driven by infrequent releases, manual JIRA/Jenkins handoffs and environment drift (varnish, Apache/PHP, Tomcat). New platform uses self-service cloud with templates, bastions and basic tooling, supports PHP/Python/Node, and runs early adopters (election site, Video Factory). Platform team re-parents ops ownership, enforces self-service cloud templates and even runs chaos monkey across the platform to force resilience and faster, frequent deployments.
