Splunk Dir. Of Developer Marketing Jon Rooney In theCUBE

Splunk Inc. plans to tackle DevOps head on by creating an “all over tool” that facilitates interaction between developers and operations, said the data management company’s Director of Developer marketing, Jon Rooney during a live interview on theCUBE. With this unified apparatus, Splunk hopes to break down “some of the stove pipes” between these two essential components of their customers businesses while driving output, machine data, and provide opportunities to correlate data and real time analytics.

Donnie Berkholz, a Red Monk analyst who was also a part of theCUBE interview, explained that DevOps is essential because it enables companies to “iterate more rapidly, ship faster, and learn based on customer reception of those features.” By breaking down data silos, Berkholz said that Splunk helps developers access customer-generated data. Moreover, he said, Splunk offers developers the tools to work with that data.

Rooney and Berkholz agree there are two camps of belief as to how DevOps should begin to “happen in a company” — one group believes that tools come first and culture follows, and the other believes that culture comes first, and the tools come after. Both interviewees prescribe to the former tactic. Berkholz stressed that DevOps is “driven by changes in tech itself,” like the emergence of cloud and the “requirement for transient, scalable infrastructure.” As the market moves towards “continuous integration,” added Rooney, “things naturally lend themselves to DevOps.”
