Intel Hawthorne Farms Building 1 (HF1), Auditorium

Presenter: Dave Harrison

If you’re like me, maybe the word “DevOps” invokes an immediate eye-roll as a marketing buzzword. Many developers are fond of quoting Dilbert cartoons of obstructive Ops staff and horror stories of applications being hung up forever in a limbo of paperwork and failed deployments. But if our mission is to deliver value to the business, doesn’t it make more sense to use the tools we have to fold in IT Operations staff as partners early on in the process? This will be a very interactive panel featuring some experts on the Operations and DevOps side of things, so bring your questions!

• How “hucking it over the fence” no longer works for us in an Agile world

• The advantages of automated deployment tools (Chef, Puppet Labs, and Azure RM) – and some demos

• Practical ways to overcome cultural challenges to DevOps in your company

• Zero to DevOps in 180 days
