White Paper

Description:
Clearly, cloud computing is no longer fluff. Real-world organizations are attaining new levels of efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings by deploying cloud-based services. This paper explains how agile and cloud-computing initiatives can act as catalysts to the ever important relationship between development and operations. The result is higher-performing, easier-to-manage, more reliable and more cost-efficient applications and services. Whether you’re using Agile methodologies or a traditional waterfall approach, this white paper can tell you how cloud can be your opportunity to integrate apps and ops into an seamless team that produces and maintains higher-quality applications and services.

Developers have knowledge and information that should be of high value to application monitoring teams on the IT ops side. They have business-level understanding of the design and performance requirements, and they have implementation specifics that impact real-world performance issues.

On the other side, IT ops monitoring teams have access to something that should be vital to developers: real user data (click-stream traffic, page performance, application errors, visitor sessions on Web-based applications, and so on).

This is important data because as developers know all too well, preproduction applications do not always perform as expected once deployed into production in the cloud environment. The reason: Real users do unexpected things. How do developers know what usage scenarios to test if they don’t have visibility into real end-user behavior?
