Talks:
#1 - Andreas Evers - Pivotal - Continuous Delivery to the Cloud with Automated Canary Analysis using Spinnaker

In our quest to get to production faster, we've organised ourselves in cross-functional DevOps teams, embraced microservice architectures, and deployed to the various clouds out there. Along the way we've learned some best practices about how to deploy software at velocity — things like automated releases, immutable infrastructure, gradual rollouts and fast rollbacks.

One of the most sophisticated techniques of ensuring safety while going fast is called automated canary analysis. While canary deployments are becoming a commodity, having an autonomous judge at your disposal analysing metrics of both baseline and canary deployments, makes all the difference.

Enter Spinnaker, an open-source multi-cloud continuous delivery platform which embodies these core principles of safe, frequent and reliable releases with contributions from Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and Pivotal.

#2 - Jeyanthan Inbasekaran - Atlassian - How teams at Atlassian use configuration-as-code for their CI/CD

At Atlassian, we are a big Continuous Delivery fan. We even build tooling
for it; Bamboo for Server, and Bitbucket pipelines for Cloud.

Let me show you how teams at Atlassian use configuration-as-code for
their CI/CD pipelines using Bamboo's Java and YAML specs which includes plan creation and defining permissions.

How to get there:
From Amsterdam Centraal Station: you need tram 26 in the direction of IJburg. When in the tram you get out at tramstop Rietlandpark. That is very close to the office.
When you exit the tram in Rietlandpark go up with the escalator. When up, cross the street in the direction of the train rails, walk under the train rails and go to the right. Here you enter the parking lot of the INIT Building.
