EDITOR'S NOTE
I live in the Southern United States where we’ve experienced a very cold and wet winter. Since moving to Georgia from the moderate climate of Northern California, I’ve downloaded multiple weather apps to my mobile devices, and signed up for alerts, only to be shocked awake sometimes by alarms of impending flash floods. The data consolidation, analysis, and distribution that keeps communities informed and prepared when Mother Nature asserts her domination over us, fascinates me. As a newbie farmer, I wish we could customize our weather, on demand.

NetApp VP Lee Caswell wraps up our Data Fabric Solutions Essentials series with a look at the NetApp OpenStack Solution Kit. He likens using OpenStack solutions to create a flexible cloud infrastructure, to the science of cloud seeding. Our other articles this month, on the NetApp Unified Manager and Performance Manager, and our CodeEasy DevOps environment, again focus on how Data Fabric is altering the business of data management, putting you in control.

Author Anthony J. D’Angelo stated:

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."

Enjoy this month’s issue, and stay dry!

DevOps at NetApp: “CodeEasy” Is the Name of the Game DevOps at NetApp: “CodeEasy” is the Name of the Game
Tech OnTap Staff
The shift to DevOps—the blending of development and operations—represents a major change in how software is developed. No longer can companies afford scalability bottlenecks, provisioning delays, or lack of proper test and automation tools. NetApp jumped on board with DevOps early and created an internal environment named CodeEasy, which automates the process of provisioning development and QA workspaces for a 2,000-strong, geo-dispersed development community.
