PreviewDevOps has created great application velocity for organizations, higher application quality, and automation. However most organizations are nelgecting one of the key tenants of DevOps which is continious improvment. Without learning from production incidents, and data organizations are not completing the DevOps cycle. By doing so there is a missed opportunity to use the information to further improve the product and processes, and the risk of DevOps being a short term practice. In this session we will:
1. Talk about the benefits of continuous improvement 2. Discuss what...

Practical DevSecOps Using Security Instrumentation
The traditional “outside in” scanning and firewalling approach to application security has failed. Vulnerability rates are still staggering, attacks are increasing in volume and severity, and security is disrupting software pipelines. We need a new approach to security that doesn’t slow development or hamper innovation. In this talk, we will show how you can ensure software security from the “inside out” by leveraging the power of software instrumentation. Unlike scanning and firewalling, this approach is fast, accurate, and scalable. Security observability also creates an environment...

In this talk, Larissa will explain briefly Digital Transformation, how it correlates to automation and then proceed to the concept and types of automation, and detail how to embark on this exciting journey! After understanding what automation is, we will learn how to...
Permit to Cloud: Land with Confidence in Azure
Are you ready for the Cloud? An application is an idea that has code, data and infrastructure, and choosing whether to build a conveyor belt or to put up guard rails for that path is important in maintaining velocity to the cloud. In this session we show the core tools available in Azure for creating and enforcing governance rules and infrastructure, including Azure resource template technologies, policies, blueprints, as well as DevOps processes you can use to ensure your cloud journey is predictable, secure and compliant. We'll see how the tools work and share best practices for maturing...
