Workshops:March 10-11, 2016
Track: DevOps & CI/CD
Location:
- Whittle, 3rd flr.
Day of week:
- Monday
There is more to Continuous Delivery than wiring together Jenkins instances and buying a new automated deployment tool. This track will tackle some of the more complex aspects. CD is about a lot more than technology, but the approach to the use of technology is critically important.
On this track we aim to talk about CD as a process that you can live and grow with. How do you keep your tests running in the face of change? How do you manage the deployment of complex systems?
We believe that CD works because it is a more scientific, empirical approach to software development. So what does the science say about our process? What difference will it make to your business?
Come and see some great speakers describe what world-class software development process looks like in complex cases.

Software & Continuous Delivery/DevOp Engineer @PaddyPower
Although Continuous Delivery has gone viral after the seminal book by Jez Humble and Dave Farley, there is still doubt on its benefits and lack of understanding on the practices to achieve the maximum benefits. In this talk, I will attempt to add my two cents based on our three years' journey to CD at Paddy Power. In particular, I will discuss six benefits of continuous delivery we achieved.
For each benefit, I will explain why the benefit matters to the survival of today's businesses...

Creator of Flyway & Founder of Boxfuse
The cloud is the new normal and it is time to rethink how we see machines and deployments. We have been piling layer upon layer of complexity for too long. But why should it be this way? It is time to radically simplify all this.
In this talk, we'll throw general-purpose operating systems, snowflake servers and runtime provisioning out the door. Instead you'll see how servers become disposable, how machine images are generated from scratch in seconds and how to achieve perfect...

Signatory of the Reactive Manifesto & Co-Author of "Continuous Delivery"
Writing and maintaining a suite of acceptance tests that can give you a high level of confidence in the behaviour and configuration of your system is a complex task. In this talk, Dave describse approaches to acceptance testing that allow teams to: work quickly and effectively; build excellent functional coverage for complex enterprise-scale systems; manage and maintain those tests in the face of change, and of evolution in both the codebase and the understanding of the business problem....
