Analysis of Practices for Large Scale Configuration Validation - A Case Study
No full textThe move towards containerisation and microservices architecture by software companies
has dramatically increased the complexity of configuring modern software systems. The
increase in complexity also brings a rise in misconfigurations that contribute heavily
to system failures. The DevOps movement amplifies this problem by insisting that
developers should own the whole software development lifecycle. Developers now
have to configure complex systems while usually not understanding the impact of their
decisions. A way to reduce misconfigurations is to use automatic configuration validation
software. This software can be easily misused and hard to keep up to date, causing
frustration for the end-users and maintainers. This thesis looks into what principles
should organisations follow when using automatic configuration validation on a large
scale. A real case of a software company with about 400 developers is analysed. The
author brings out the problems identified from the analysis and offers solutions for each.
Based on the offered solutions, they lead an effort to improve the existing tooling and
processes around automatic configuration validation. After the project’s conclusion, the
analysis of the results shows that the efforts successfully reduced the maintenance effort
and complaints made about the configuration validation tooling and processes. As a
final contribution, the author proposes eight best practices that other organisations could
follow to improve their usage of automatic configuration validation
Social Cohesion and Adaptation to New Habits of Housewives During Post Covid-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThe Covid-19 pandemic that occurred, which began in 2019, had an impact on many things, including government policy. The implementation of policies during the pandemic aims to be able to adapt to various new habits in many activities and aspects of daily life. This research aims to discuss the adaptation of new habits for housewives after the Covid-19 pandemic and social cohesion and the role of housewifes in the post-pandemic family. The research method used is a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The research results show changes in the habits of housewives during the pandemic and post-pandemic. Social cohesion related to the role of housewives in the post-pandemic era is the development of 4 competencies, namely 1) critical thinking and problem solving; 2) creativity and innovation; 3) collaboration, and; 4) Communication. Housewives must carry out their role by adapting comprehensively. Collaborate with other family members to jointly adapt new habits. The role of housewives after the pandemic has changed, in this case related to ways of thinking, ways of communicating, ways of working together, ways of collaborating in various aspects of life including aspects of education, health of family members and social interactions. Where during the pandemic, children went to school online, not face to face and teaching and learning activities were carried out at home with the help of smartphones and the internet. Meanwhile, in the post-pandemic period, the policy of restricting leaving the house has been stopped and now children must come to school face-to-face or offline. Apart from that, housewifes also have a role in supporting new habits related to health aspects after the pandemic, namely advising their children to keep their distance from friends, wear masks, always wash their hands with soap. Based on the research results, it was also found that there were several changes experienced by housewives, for example their involvement in their children's learning process, where housewifes are now more active in using social media to communicate with teachers at school. For example, enter the WhatsApp group to get various information related to their children's school activities. Another finding that can also be explained regarding the social cohesion of housewives is the increasing number of housewifes who actively interact in various online communities. Where the community basically aims to share or share any information they are interested in, for example about cooking, about parenting or child care, about hobbies, about how to maintain health and others. Therefore, it can be concluded that the social cohesion that occurs among housewives in the post- pandemic era is an increase in interest in using technology to increase their knowledge and social relations online.
