The second presentation by Sean Farmer “DevOps & Microservices Better Together” takes a look at what it takes to successfully transform your DevOps team and functions. Looking at everything from testing and deploying work, how your DevOps team works within the wider business teams, and how you can reduce the lead time of rolling out those all important new features. The presentation will help you identify what things might hold you back, and what you can do to overcome those obstacles and succeed.
