This coming May 4, I will be out at the Stir Trek conference in Columbus, OH. Tickets go on sale today at 1:59 pm. (3/14 1:59 for Pi day, get it?) I hear the conference sold out last year within five days, so if you are joining us, act fast. Stir Trek is a unique developer conference in that it combines technology talks with a private screening of a movie. This year, it is The Avengers. Quite the event.
I am in the Cloud computing track and will be sharing my experiences on DevOps and private/public cloud computing. Hope to see you there.
Running DevOps on a Microsoft Cloud
You have heard the rumors. DevOps is this touchy-feely culture thing where the developers run cowboy over the infrastructure using open source tools. But what if you are running a Microsoft infrastructure? What if you are in a highly regulated industry, say like finance? And what if you need to show hard dollar savings to support culture changes? Forget the rumors. We have the facts. In this session, we will present how a Midwest investment firm implemented DevOps on a cloud computing model. The tool stack is SharePoint, SQL Server Business Intelligence, and System Center. Let’s get past the rumors and see how existing organizations are getting the most from DevOps and the cloud.
