DevOps Demystified: Finding Value in the Hype – Steven Murawski

Abstract

DevOps is the new “hotness”.  Software vendors left and right are proclaiming that they offer “DevOps” tools.  Companies are posting positions for “DevOps Engineers”.  You are also might have heard about “NoOps” or how pushing all your apps to the cloud eliminates the need for systems administrators or ops guys.

Join me and we’ll define what DevOps is, what the real motivation behind the DevOpsmovement entails (the Three Ways of DevOps), and how DevOps can work in your organization.  We’ll use real-life examples from software deployments I’ve participated in earlier (with the names changed to protect the guilty) and my experiences at Stack Exchange, keeping Stack Overflow available yet dynamic.

If you have questions about DevOps and the Dev->IT workflow, this is the night for you!
