All Day DevOps: Practitioner-to-Practitioner

Over the past year, I have traveled to and delivered presentations at 18 DevOps events. I’ve also heard that over the past several years, John Willis has participated in more than 200 DevOps events. But not all of us have the time or budget to get ourselves and our teams out to these events where we can learn from other practitioners.

This is why we’ve assembled the All Day DevOps Conference for Nov. 15.

Free DevOps

All Day DevOps will deliver 57 practitioner-led sessions over 15 hours and 15 time zones. No vendor pitches are allowed. To break the travel and budget barrier for you and your teams, we are delivering every session live, online and free of charge. Every session will also be recorded. We are doing this because we want to share global DevOps expertise with everyone.

    • Monitoring, Hold the Infrastructure – Getting the Most out of Lambda, Michael (DevOps Evangelist at DataDog)

Don’t Just Listen, Talk DevOps

One of the big pieces of input we have received from the community is that everyone wants an opportunity to interact. This is why we are building a dedicated team room in Slack for you. Every attendee will have the chance to interact with the speakers in the Slack room. Q&A will be live, online and freely accessible. We will also have Birds-of-a-Feather channels set up for those with questions to be helped by those with answers.
