Presentation: "Call of Duty: Dev Ops"

Time: Thursday 14:50 - 15:40

Location: Marina

Abstract:

It's no longer enough to wage war in pre-production. That's where developers have fought their conflicts time and time again--but now they need to cross battle lines and head into Production. It's a new kind of battle,
one torn apart with operational complexity, agile missions and server warfare. With access to virtual platforms, monitoring weaponry, and automation tools, developers must now fight to ensure the performance and availability of mission-critical business applications. In this session we'll look at

The production battleground
     of modern mission-critical appsAn overview of special
     weapons and agile tactics (SWAT) for DevOpsReal-life
     application fatalities and incidentsLessons learned from
     Customers winning the DevOps war

Will you heed the call?
