About us
Born out of the regional demand and successful mergers of Leeds DevOps and Sheffield, Yorkshire DevOps was created with the aim of providing a home for DevOps enthusiasts and newcomers in Yorkshire!
We host events across the region, usually alternating between Leeds and Sheffield, on a wide range of topics from vast on-prem estates and mainframes all the way to cutting-edge cloud-native architecture.
Everyone is welcome, whether your DevOps is in your title, whether you're a newcomer or a student! We have a real mix of attendance and encourage everyone!
