Maintaining a devop environment isn't easy, this talk will explain how to use fabric to automate a lot of tasks you're doing and some you havn't thought of even.

At some point in your job as devops lead, you'll come to a conclusion there are some tasks that has to be automated (enough is enough!). You'll start looking for the right tool to do it, and you'll have lots of options out there, we chose fabric, and we're doing some cool stuff with it! In this short talk we'll show you how to use fabric from simple tasks such as updating multiple hosts using yum, to provisioning a system to any operating system you'll need or even monitoring Jenkins master status for offline slaves or job load, while utilizing nagios along the way.

Use a hook framework, written in python to create rules to validate and automate tasks in your git/gerrit environment.

Every r&d department has its own rules and version planning for their product. It might be you're working on a latest (master) branch and at some point (feature freeze), you'll branch into a stable branch for the current version and backport only specific fixes to it. That process can be problematic and not without misses when managing a large scale project such as a virtualization project as oVirt. You'll want to integrate some validation into the process and ensure developers are following the right procedure, like merging fixes in right order (master->stable branch), adding 'bug-url' to the bug to maintain info on the bug fix and so on. In this talk I'll show you a unique system we developed for oVirt that works on gerrit (code review system) and bugzilla api that will run set of verification rules on each patch sent and will ensure patches are treated correctly and with respect! :)
