| | Why DevOps? Employee Satisfaction DevOps is being embraced by more and more companies, but still a minority of organizations that perform software development. There are plenty of software developers, project managers, and operational staff that are comfortable with their own process, even as they may struggle to produce software for their customers. I think DevOps is a better way to build software, and today I want to look at a benefit beyond faster releases. Today, let's talk employee satisfaction. The State of DevOps report shows that companies who have implemented a DevOps process have more engaged and happier employees. According to the eNPS (e Net Promoter Score), the employees are more likely to continue to work there, and recommend the company to their friends. That endorsement of the organization comes with two benefits. Employees are more productive, and they bring other good employees to work. After all, how many employees recommend someone they don't want to work with or don't think can do the job? More deployments, easier deployments, the ability to get your code used by customers while you still remember how it works. These are the keys to helping employees enjoy their jobs. When employees are more engaged, and when they are satisfied with their jobs, they work in a more focused manner, trying to ensure their work produces results that help others in the company. In other words, more valuable code. DevOps isn't new; it's a name given to a number of productive, effective practices that the best software developers have been following for years. The idea of DevOps is being more and more widely embraced, resulting in better software, along with happier employees.

| | | Today's Question (by Marek Grzymala): You have a SQL 2014 SERVER\NamedInstance that listens on a statically configured TCP port 1970. One of the old applications needs to connect to that instance using the old default TCP port 1433. You decide to configure the SQL service to listen on multiple TCP ports, by adding ‘,1433’ in the TCP Port box, under Properties -> IPAll in the Configuration Manager, as described here. You restart all services, including the Browser, and verify that the Instance now listens on both ports 1970 and 1433. Some clients connect using ‘SERVER\NamedInstance’ (rather than ‘SERVER,port#’) in their connection string. To which TCP port(s) will they now connect? |

| | | Michael D'Spain from SQLServerCentral.com Depending on your view point, I have the lovely task, or not so lovely task or pulling data from 700+ MongoDBs on a linux servers into a SQL Server DB to build some reporting around a specific data point. Using Powershell and the POSH-SSH module I was able to accomplish this. I wasnt able to find much out there for this scenario. Most of what I found was connection to MongoDB on a Windows box. Please read my comments in the script for the explanation of how this works. Hope you find this useful. Good times. Michael D'Spain More »
