DevOps Enterprise Summit – London 2016

I once again had the privilege of attending the DevOps Enterprise Summit. This time it was in the U.K. at the Hilton Metropole. I was impressed with the representation and talks from companies and organization across the UK and the rest of Europe: SAP, ITV, Hiscox, ING, Barclays, HMRC, Zurich, and many more.

Themes that I picked up from these DevOps leaders:

People – Its all about People – empathy, org change, transformation

Speed – Continuous Integration and Delivery

Quality – Investment in DevOps practices often results in higher quality output

Agility – Microservices and Flexible Infrastructure

Security – Everyone’s responsibility

Business – Focus on Product vs. Project with integration with business in transformation (BizDevOps?)

I was honored to speak again and talk about our DevOps journey at Disney.

Even though I wasn’t able to record my presentation, ComputerWorld UK provided a great write-up of my talk, and even gave me a new title!

There was considerable interest in our journey to DevOps, especially our transition from Operation Specialist to embedded Systems Engineers.
