>> Frederic Hemberger: Batteries not included: The concept of »DevOps« beyond buzzwords <<

About speaker
Coming from a JavaScript/Node.js background, he decided over two years ago to start putting stuff into containers and push them into the clouds. He likes to automate all the things to free himself of tedious repetitive tasks and helps clients to improve the quality and robustness of their software.

Talk description
"DevOps" is the new black and buzzword machines everywhere are turned up to eleven working overtime. But what's really behind the term "DevOps"? What impact does it have on working relationships and company culture, not only for developer and operation teams? And why does reality often lag far behind the demands when it comes to implementation?

>> Frank Mueller: We are Borg — a real DevOps Approach in heterogeneous environments <<

About speaker
Frank is doing DevOps style work since he joined the IT World 16 years ago. He is mainly doing operations work for multiple companies and larger international projects with colleagues from all over the world. In the past year, he was responsible for the migration of a large customer from on-premise to the cloud and introduced new ways of working throughout all tracks.

Talk description
DevOps sounds cool and easy but in reality, you have to comply with the policies and rules of your company. Especially the understanding of responsibilities among different tracks is difficult. This talk will show you examples of how we are dealing with these challenges on multiple projects inside of a large international company including used tools and technologies and the very special challenge for microservices.
