DevOps and Data: Faster-Time-to-Knowledge through SageOps, MLOps, and DataOps

Klein, Brandon T.; Tyler, Cody T.; Fields, Samuel E.

This report describes the approach, investigation, and prototyping efforts to develop an efficient, reusable methodology and reference framework for applying DevOps to disparate data for data science and data analytics at scale, based on focused application of this methodology and reusable reference framework within Sandia National Laboratories’ Pulsed Power community. Additionally, this report reviews: engineered instantiation of the reference framework used for development and production solutions, our experiences and results in using the reference framework, and future plans regarding research and development.

The DevOps: A Concise Understanding to the DevOps Philosophy and Science

Klein, Brandon T.

This writing examines the DevOps practice from a new perspective, one of understanding its philosophical and scientific nature. DevOps has fundamentally changed the landscape for research and development based on guiding philosophical and scientific principles. Advanced computational technologies and domains have adopted DevOps to enable advanced solution engineering for efficient, quality-assured output. The author provides a concise account of how the philosophy and science of DevOps synergistically defines its essential disposition.

Cloud Computing for Complex Performance Codes

Appel, Gordon J.; Hadgu, Teklu H.; Klein, Brandon T.; Miner, John G.

This report describes the use of cloud computing services for running complex public domain performance assessment problems. The work consisted of two phases: Phase 1 was to demonstrate complex codes, on several differently configured servers, could run and compute trivial small scale problems in a commercial cloud infrastructure. Phase 2 focused on proving non-trivial large scale problems could be computed in the commercial cloud environment. The cloud computing effort was successfully applied using codes of interest to the geohydrology and nuclear waste disposal modeling community.
