Talk 1 - From ClickOps to DevOps and Beyond – How IT Evolved 🧠

• Description: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has transitioned from a cutting-edge idea to a fundamental requirement. In the dynamic landscape of IT, the shift from ClickOps to DevOps has marked a pivotal evolution in how we approach cloud infrastructure and software development. This journey, however, is far from complete. Let’s explore the transformation that has led us beyond traditional DevOps, into the realms of platform engineering and the essential practice of treating everything as code. We’ll explore the shift towards automation and self-service platforms, emphasising how these advancements empower developers and operators with greater agility and efficiency.
