DevOps SIG - Serverless Ops!

Topic: Serverless Ops!

Serverless Ops: What do we do when the server goes away?

With the rise of serverless architecture, many of the common day-to-day operations tasks will change dramatically, if not disappear completely. We as Operations professionals will be challenged to redefine our roles and responsibilities within the technology organization as serverless abstracts away the server and its respective OS to cloud service providers. No stranger to this scenario, we will not only be tasked with solving these engineering obstacles introduced by the new serverless paradigm, but we will also need to prove our value to the business in the face of a changing technology landscape… again.

The time is now to start defining what Operations will look like in a serverless world. As a community that has reinvented ourselves time and again, we have another chance to shape the vision of new digital world.

In this talk, I will walk through the current state of serverless architecture, and discuss the many possibilities of how serverless may evolve so that we as an Operations community can not only begin preparing for the change, but lead this revolution again.

Speaker: Tom McLaughlin ( @ServerlessOpsIO )

Tom is the founder of ServerlessOps (https://www.serverlessops.io/) and an experienced operations engineer. He started ServerlessOps after he asked the question, what would he do if servers went away? At a loss for an answer and interested in the future of his profession, he decided to pursue the answer. Tom is actively engaged in promoting serverless infrastructure and engaging with the community to learn more about their thoughts, wants, and concerns are around the topic.

Previously, Tom has worked in Engineering and Developer Relations. As an engineer he enjoyed building automation tools and platform automation infrastructure. His goal was to ensure that he was never a roadblock for someone else getting their work done. While in Developer Relations he enjoyed showing other engineers how to do the same.

When not at work he is a proud cat dad to two calicoes and enjoys spending his time drag racing and sailing. He is also an amateur thinkfluencer on Twitter.
