Dave Mangot, Solarwinds Cloud Companies In this session, we will looks at the ways that Operations can deliver business value. Long ago Operations was a cost center, now it's a strategic differentiator. We used to think our job was to work with technology, now we realize it's to deliver value to the business. We'll examine some principles that are signs of a mature DevOps practice and use examples from the Librato move from EC2 Classic to VPC and the next generation platform we built in the process to demonstrate how adherence to those principles allow us to deliver value to the business faster and more reliably than ever before.
