Cleaning Up Change Management: The DevOps Way

Video Available
10/26 10am EST

When you see "change management" and "DevOps" in the same sentence, it looks as if they don't belong together. DevOps is about a continuous and iterative approach, where speed and efficiency are at its core. Change management is often perceived as the total opposite of that. In this talk, we will discuss how IT and dev teams are working together to adopt DevOps principles within their change management plans - helping them spend time building new features and services instead of changing current IT applications and infrastructure.

Unstoppable Force vs. Immovable Object: DevOps and the DBA

DevOps is an unstoppable force taking the industry by storm. However, DevOps has never faced the likes of this curmudgeon database engineer and his slew of large, highly performing, relational databases. Continuous development, failing fast, and automation all sound great in theory but can they be applied to large monolithic database environments? In this session we will talk about how a database engineering team modernized their architecture, process, and environment through a lot of blood, sweat, and creative problem solving.

FIRESIDE CHAT & Q/A
Featuring this week's speakers:
John Meier, Mike Krafick, Dan Petit, & Brooke Gravitt

Moderated by: Rashad Neloms, F8F Labs

We’ve opted to step away from theory and the big picture to dive into the nitty-gritty. Stories and experiences from the operators, implementors, and individuals that instituted a change where necessary, but not necessarily wanted. What technologies and teams did they represent or partner with? What challenges did they overcome? And, most importantly, what was the secret to their success?

Join us for a week-long virtual DevOps event offering on-demand presentations each day for you to watch at your leisure over coffee. We'll wrap up the event with a live session, fireside chat, and Q&A with the speakers on the final day, Thursday, November 12th.
Live Fireside Chat & Q/A sessions originally scheduled for 10/29 is POSTPONED to 11/12
