There's a reason over 70% of Fortune 500 enterprises rely on mainframes to support their core operations. Despite being around since the 1950s, mainframes are not relics of the past, but rather a vital component of AI strategy and implementation. In this episode, Donna Dillenberger, IBM Fellow and CTO of Hybrid Cloud Systems Research, and Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM fellow and CTO for IBM CIO Platform Transformation, discuss how mainframes can be the nerve center that powers AI. They also talk about what it's like to be a woman working in infrastructure and AI, and provide advice for women looking to break into the industry. The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM or any other organization or entity.
So In today's episode, titled "DevOps in Test," our speaker, Rosalind Radcliffe, an IBM Fellow, CIO DevSecOps CTO, dives deep into the world of interface DevOps testing and its crucial role in the API economy and digital transformation. Join us as we uncover the secrets to successful testing in a DevOps environment and learn how to optimize your DevOps testing practices.

I consider Robin Yeman a friend, though our story starts out with me being awestruck after listening to Robin present at the DevOps Enterprise Summit in 2019. She was among an impressive list of speakers that year including Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Rosalind Radcliffe, and Jonathan Smart. In her role as a Senior Technical Fellow at Lockheed Martin, Robin partnered with Northrop Grumman Fellow, Suzette Johnson to present on a topic they called industrial DevOps. This is a hardcore mixing of software and systems engineering. What else would we expect from Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grummond? They are two of the DoD's most prolific defense contractors. During the talk, they discussed ways to apply DevOps and continuous delivery to significant cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems are things like robotics, warfighting, transportation, and complex medical devices. My mind was blown. After they finished, I scurried to the stage to introduce myself. I had just begun working with the US Air Force and with the F-35 joint program office. Their experience and their materials would prove invaluable.Robin and Suzette were approachable and gracious; after introductions, we compared notes and realized we were all, in one way or another, supporting a controversial figure named Nick Chaillan. He was the Air Force's First Chief software officer. Over the course of the next few months, I reached out to Robin for insights and to bounce ideas about challenges to accelerating work done by and for the DoD. It's been a few years since that first introduction. That is how I went from a fan, to part of a network, to being a friend. The more I've gotten to know Robin, the more incredible and inspiring her journey has been. Like me, this Real Technologist grew up in a small town, the type with small graduating classes, and where you seem to know everybody. Oneida is in upstate New York, about 30 minutes from Syracuse.
Full transcript and resources for this episode: https://realtechnologists.org/I first met Rosalind Radcliffe during the early days of the pandemic. We were both invited guests on a technical panel called DevOps Unbound. Our topic? Exploring the reality of DevOps and compliance. Following usual protocol, the moderator shared the names of the other panelists. Time for a little Googling.Rosalind's experience in education pops off the page at you: an IBM distinguished engineer recently elevated and celebrated as a prestigious IBM fellow. Much of her focus appeared to be on z/OS. z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes. It's been around since the early 2000's. Being on a panel with Rosalind discussing and debating DevOps was going to be interesting. Our panel discussion was meaty diving into the fallacy that you can buy agile and do DevOps. Where Rosalind and I found we were squarely aligned is on the core challenge: the real meaning of modernization and the curse of buzzwords.
In our world today, technology plays an increasingly significant role in shaping our lives. The way we communicate, work, and even entertain ourselves is being revolutionized by tech. Behind every innovation, there's a person, a human being with unique experiences, perspectives and challenges. Understanding what shaped their perspective is a real goal. From The Sourced Network remote offices in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, welcome to Real Technologists. Each week we explore the genuine stories and true journeys of folks shaping our digital future. How did they navigate this complex world of ours? What challenges did they face? What are the innovative ideas that continue to propel them forward? Each episode is crafted to broaden your perspective, spark innovation, and help you make better decisions by showcasing the diversity of thought and experiences within the tech industry. Today, we've included some short excerpts to give you a taste of what's to come.Let's start out with Jennifer Leggio, Chief Marketing Officer for Netography and cybersecurity strategist. She's also a luminary for the accountability and responsibility and security marketing. Just who helped her along the way?"He would push me and say, ‘I see more in you. I see more in you.' Because of that, Cisco wasn't enough for me anymore, and it wasn't Cisco. It was the role because it's such a huge org. My role was very finite there, focusing on security strategy and communications and messaging and such. I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna quit."Caroline Wong, Chief Strategy Officer at Cobalt got her start with eBay as an intern. Her experience and exposure to eBay said in motion a series of domino events transforming her into a leading voice in cybersecurity. Funny to think it all started with dating a Stanford student." For my summer internship between my junior and senior year, I wanted to live at his house with his parents in Silicon Valley and not my house with my parents in San Francisco. And so when I applied to internships that summer, and I must have applied to 50 different internships, I only applied to companies located in Silicon Valley. And I got an internship in IT at eBay."Katy Craig is a cybersecurity expert who has spent her career focused on the US Navy. She's a retired veteran, educating the next generation of ethical hackers." It's very special to build a ship, to be part of the pre-com crew, to be a quote unquote plank owner is a very special privilege. I am a plank owner of Bonhomme Richard. We went through a lot on that ship. I was there on 9-11 when the planes hit the towers. we deployed early to go hunt for Osama Bin Laden."Lonya Ford grew up on the south side of Chicago and joined the military as a way to put a roof over her head and maybe give her an education. When she started out, she found herself believing that she could not be her authentic self. " It was scary joining the military because I was transported to a land where no one spoke like me. No one really looked like me. And so that was a tough environment for me. And, you know, for a while I think what I started to do was conform a little, right?” Rosalind Radcliffe is an esteemed IBM fellow driving big blue to drink their own champagne, so to speak, in their adoption of modern software practices and DevSecOps. As a self-proclaimed high school dropout, she is leading the way for the DevOps-ing of IBM's z/OS." So I went to school in Wisconsin for two years and then my dad was moving to Florida to teach at the University of Florida via England for a year. And so they sent me to the university and the university said, would you like to show up in August? I said, no, I'm going to England for a year. So let me go to England for a year and I'll come back and then I'll go to the university. And so technically I'm a high school dropout." That's what Real...

Rosalind Radcliffe is Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for DevOps on z Systems at IBM. Without any questions, she is the go-to resource for Z systems. In her career, she has been on both sides of the DevOps fence, so tearing that fence down came naturally for her. In this episode, I talked to Rosalind on how Z platform is evolving and supporting modern DevOps way of working.Subscribe to 0800-DEVOPS newsletter here.Show notes:This interview is featured in 0800-DEVOPS #23 – Rosalind Radcliffe, DevOps on Z and measuring productivity with SPACE framework.
In our latest episode, we had the opportunity to sit down with Elliot Rushton and Rosalind Radcliffe. Elliot is an Engineering Manager at GitLab, Inc. Beginning in 2019-2020 IBM Z had and continues to embrace a holistic approach to application development and delivery. And part of this strategy sees IBM Z tightly, seamlessly integrating open-source solutions alongside our other IBM-branded offerings. That's where GitLab, Inc. joins the party. Elliot and Rosalind spend some time talking about GitLab, and it's CI (Continuous Integration) Runner. And because of the interest in use of GitLab for SCM (Source Code Management) and CI in a z/OS environment, we're aggressively meeting this demand. Sure, understanding how this CI fits into the z/OS ecosystem can be tough to wrap your head around. But we're in luck, because both Elliot and Rosalind do an excellent job of distilling it down, making it much easier to understand. And why stop there? Elliot also discusses some of GitLab's plans on the horizon. So, stick around to the end to learn more about this blossoming relationship between GitLab, Inc. and IBM Z. And just for fun, we're including some important links so you can learn more about this partnership: IBM Z and GitLab Tutorial White Paper: Setting up the CI Pipeline Agent on IBM Z White Paper: Integrating IBM Z in GitLab CI pipelines GitLab and IBM Z documentation

In this latest episode, Cornelia Davis, Weaveworks CTO discusses DevOps and open source on the mainframe with Rosalind Radcliffe, distinguished engineer at IBM. The IBM Z system has been around for more than 50 years, and according to Rosalind, it's the system that “runs the world”. How has Z adopted DevOps best practices or is it the other way around where DevOps practices have caught up to Z?
Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen to our latest episode. We are still remote, still very much in lockdown. But the silver lining is that we have been fortunate to reach some really influential people in the DevOps world. In this episode, we sit down to chat with John Willis and Rosalind Radcliffe. John brings with him over 40 years of mainframe and DevOps experience. And, fun fact, he attended the very first DevOps Days in Ghent. In this episode we discuss: Where/How John and Rosalind first met John Willis discusses his over 40-year career How he came to find himself at Red Hat How he came to be Senior Director of Red Hat's Global Transformation Office The five elements (dev, ops, product, architecture, leadership) and the three economies Why John likes the term “hybridity” The dangers of ignoring “prior art” Real world examples of shift-left software development Why John is a fanboy for Red Hat and IBM And the future of automated governance Thanks for stopping by, come back soon!
Finally! We were able to get together and spend some time with two greats in the DevOps world: Rosalind Radcliffe and Gary Gruver. No doubt you know Rosalind, if not, you must show us the rock you have been living under. And it would be equally impressive if you'd not heard of our very special guest – Gary Gruver. Many familiar with The DevOps Handbook will recognize the name from the prominent HP case study and discussion surrounding his role in transforming HP's LaserJet FutureSmart Firmware division. Gary has had quite the career and since his time at HP he has begun a new chapter with his consulting firm – Gruver Consulting. He's even penned a few books of his own in that time: Engineering the Digital Transformation Starting and Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise Leading the Transformation: Applying Agile and DevOps Principles at Scale A Practical Approach To Large Scale Agile Development However, Gary didn't come to talk to us about books. In this episode we traverse many topics, but here are a few of the highlights: Where the idea of continuous delivery really began for Gary (hint, while at HP) Systematic approaches of engineering the Digital Transformation The challenges with organizational inertia and how it impedes change Stable quality signals and automated testing How micro services isn't always the right answer The importance of “fast feedback” and building quality into your code How Gary's training and certifications are enabling organizations to optimize their software delivery practices This is just the tip of the iceberg though. We covered a lot more ground in this (just shy of an hour) episode; too much to list. So we encourage you to stay through to the end. And if you have any stories you'd like to share, Rosalind would love to hear from you. Email her today. Want to learn more about Gruver Consulting and the training and certification opportunities? Well, you're in luck, you can check that out here too! And in case you haven't heard, we've got a full archive of episodes right here. And remember, we're available on all the popular podcasting platforms; just search for “Z DevOps Talks”. Enjoy the show! Link for the transcript.

Jayne Groll interviews IBM Distinguished Engineer Rosalind Radcliffe on the emerging trends in DevOps including the mainframe's resurgence and the importance of Ops in DevOps.
Is DevOps only for startups? Rosalind Radcliffe says no! The largest enterprises can benefit from DevOps practices, the challenge is finding the right approach to changing practices. Rosalind talks about getting buy-in from senior leadership by focusing on reducing waste and improving efficiency. Picking the right project is important also - you want a project that is important, but not the crown jewels of the company. Understanding how work actually gets done in the enterprise helps lead you to where you can find improvements in deployment, testing and more. DevOps in the enterprise is possible - and worth it!
TestTalks | Automation Awesomeness | Helping YOU Succeed with Test Automation
Everyone is always looking at the latest, shiny testing tools that only support Web technologies, but what about automating mainframe apps? Rosalind Radcliffe, Distinguished Engineer at IBM, explains why mainframes still matter and how they fit into modern practices like DevOps. Listen up and discover tools and techniques to help you with your mainframe testing practices.
Rosalind Radcliffe is a treasure of the mainframe world. It is always an interesting interview whenever we get the chance to speak with her. In this chat, Rosalind updates us on the newest generation of Big Iron from IBM, the z14 systems. Rosalind also tells us about some of the new capabilities of z14 that allow you to go as fast as you need it in your organization. Rosalind says it is time to move away from thinking of bi-modal IT. Even multi-speed IT is outdated. Today's mainframe can keep up with anything you throw at it.
Rosalind Radcliffe has been the DevOps Queen for quite a while now, and has some tremendous insight into just how mainframe shops can see immediate and long-term advantages from shifting to modern tooling.

DevOps for Mainframes? Really? Yes really! While at DevOps Enterprise Summit in London, Richard sat down with Rosalind Radcliffe and David Rizzo to talk about how mainframes can be part of a DevOps practice! The conversation starts out with Rosalind talking about the modern mainframe, which in IBM parlance is all about z/OS operating system and hardware. It's not just CICS anymore; Java runs there too! And with z/OS available for IBM Linux, you can run the same operating system setup on traditional PC hardware as well. This leads to all sorts of options in the modern DevOps practice with mainframes!
Manuel Pais, InfoQ Lead Editor for DevOps, talks to Rosalind Radcliffe, Distinguished Engineer at IBM, about mainframe software delivery, from technical evolution to the mindset change required to adopt DevOps and modern development practices. Why listen to this podcast: - Large organizations have not evolved practices in mainframe systems due to cultural challenges, not technical. - Most mainframe applications still have high business value but don't take advantage of modern hardware. - Modern practices like TDD, code coverage, infrastructure-as-code and automated pipelines are possible today in mainframe. - Biggest problem in DevOps transformations is to exclude mainframe. There's no need for bi-modal IT because there is no constraint that mainframe must be slow to change. - Aging workforce is a particular issue around mainframe. Younger developers are not attracted by old school practices.
