Imagine you’re getting ready to ship something…
You press the big red button

Do you… a) Sweat and wait to see if it blows up
Do you… a) Sweat and wait to see if it blows up b) Pack up, go home & enjoy your weekend
It all boils down to automation.

While it seems that every week new terms appear to describe DevOps tools, segments, ideas, practices, etc., are they really new? And what is DevOps, anyways? In this talk Jeremy will first break down DevOps, its history, and why it matters. Then he’ll dive deeper into Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) concepts, and why it can be the key to becoming a high performing team.
