Workshop: A Date with DevOps

Learn from John Willis, the co-author of 'The DevOps Handbook'

28-October-2017, Park Plaza, Bangalore

Overview

In the digital age today, DevOps is synonymous with business agility. More being a cultural phenomenon than a technology one, DevOps practices are helping organizations to deploy faster, have lesser failures and recover from failures much faster. This course provides a peek into the DevOps culture – looking into the combination of practices like Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Automated testing, Cloud, Infrastructure as code, Containers and Monitoring, which together, translates to a high performance culture.

In this workshop, we will have a good blend of presentations, hands-on and a whole lot of fun!
