My Personal Journey

Why?
“Software is Eating the World”

Software is Changing Industries
Financial Services
Travel & Hospitality
Transportation
Home Automation
Entertainment
Automotive

You are either building a
software business…
Or losing to someone who is.

Is IT a cost center?
Or a competitive advantage?

Amazon, a book store in Seattle,
deploys code every 11 seconds

Continuously Delivered Microservices
Faster & Safer

The Reality in Enterprises…Months and Weeks
… and do it all over again from Dev  Test  Prod

Everyone is ‘Special’

everything the same
everything distinct

“Operations is the secret sauce”

Handcraft your “Secret Sauce” or
Start with Platform?
