Props to DevOps!

DevOps has definitely secured a spot in the "top 10 tech buzzwords" list, and is on every tech professional's vocabulary these days. We know it has drastically changed how cloud applications and infrastructure are deployed and managed, and can speed up new features delivery and application releases significantly for organizations that "do it right". But let's face it: do you REALLY get what it means, or how you can truly "do it right"? Most people have somewhat confused and sometimes contradictory impressions of what it really is, or how to fully achieve its potential to maximize effectiveness.

So what IS DevOps really? How are organizations using it to drive productivity and efficiency? How are DevOps teams structured and where do they fit within the overall organization? What are key best-practices and processes to be aware of? How do you implement it within your organization? Where is DevOps headed in the future, and how will this impact how we do business?

Join us for a panel discussion with some of the best DevOps teams in town to learn more about the DevOps world and how to best leverage it to grow your career and your organization.

• James Ishee, Manager of Product Operations at Hootsuite

• Jake Lin, Senior Release Engineer at Elastic Path

• Richard Clark, Systems Architect at Crafty Penguins

• Diraj Goel, Growth Advisor at BC Tech
