DevOps is a philosophy around how to speed up delivery of services or products into production. To be able to “reach” the DevOps “way of working” you need to change processes on both the Development and Operations side. You need to automate everything that can be automated and Cloud with open API:s is one of the capabilities that can help you on your way to DevOps. The presentation will be around setting DevOps in context of software delivery of services and products and map into why DevOps as delivery mechanism is essential for being able to roll out new projects or updates relates to Cloud, Analytics, Mobile and Social (CAMS).
