We have invited international Devops expert, industry analyst and author, Michael Cote to speak at our meetup on 31 May 2018 at the Pivotal office. Be prepared for a night of fun, laughter and learning with Pizzas and Beers at Pivotal.

Programme:

7.00pm - 7.20pm Arrival & Welcome (Pizzas and Drinks served)
7.20pm - 8.10pm Not Actually A DevOps Talk by Michael Cote
8.10pm - 8.40pm How to Break your Docker Infrastructure in 6 Simple Ways by Florian Besser

Micheal Cote Abstract:

Most people putting DevOps in place have only the foggiest notion of what it is beyond a “better mouse trap, and something about ‘culture.’” This talk uses failures and successes from DevOps-practicing organizations to give advice from the real world on on practicing DevOps well.

“DevOps” has developed a broad definition that’s come to mean “whatever the things are we do that makes IT better.” While it’s annoying to have to spend the first 10 minutes of any conversation calibrating on what “DevOps” means, this points towards a broader need: organizations are desperate to improve how they create, deploy, and manage their custom written software. The goals of DevOps align perfectly with this need, though as organizations who try to “scale” DevOps are finding, DevOps doesn’t solve all of your problems. This talk will cover this framing of DevOps and then walk through several case studies of how (mostly large, but some medium and small) organizations are failing and succeeding at applying DevOps. In doing so, this talk provides advice for high level planning and then daily tactics for not only “doing the DevOps,” but improving the way organizations manage their stable of software.

DevOps Articles By Michael Cote at The Register

- You're in charge of change, and now you need to talk about DevOps hater Robin
- The best outsourcers fire themselves
- Great, we're going to get DevOps-ed. So, 15 years of planning processes for the bin?
- Culture, schmulture. DevOps, agile need to be software-first again

Florian Besser Abstract:

Many organizations would like to reap the benefits of DevOps and containerization and this talk follows a not entirely fictional company on it’s way to introducing Docker and moving closer to DevOps. The company starts out with the “traditional” Dev and Ops silos, but would like to adopt Docker to increase the velocity with which they can deliver features to their customers.
The main point of the talk is to highlight potential pitfalls, problems and their solution when introducing DevOps to a company, and I will bring examples from my previous projects in Switzerland and Singapore. The talk will make a clear distinction between tools, people and organization but mainly focuses on the latter two.
