Continuous Delivery - The Whys, Whats, and Hows
DevOps is commonly believed to be accomplished by having the development staff collaborate more closely with the operations staff. That’s definitely necessary, but woefully inadequate to achieve the goal of faster and better delivery in “the last mile” of an Agile shop. We need to address the fact that the DevOps concept cannot be accomplished in an Agile environment without a combination of Scrum-style collaboration augmented with a large dollop of architectural enablement, properly addressing environmental concerns, focusing on automated testing, and actually using true automated deployment practices. In this session, Howard will discuss the rationale behind Continuous Delivery, along with specific practices to get you started on making your sprints toward customer satisfaction less tiring and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
