However, less than one-third of respondents reported that their development team uses continuous integration processes on a daily basis. While it can be a struggle to achieve continuous delivery due to corporate culture or general workflow issues between Dev and IT Operations, there are some specific tools available to help make it a reality.   Join Ho Ming Li, Cloud Engineer and John Wetherill, Developer Evangelist for a live 45 minute presentation on continuous delivery using Jenkins, an open-source continuous integration server, and Stackato, a private PaaS by ActiveState. In this webinar we will discuss and demonstrate: What is continuous integration, delivery and deployment and why is it important? What are some continuous integration tools available? How to use Jenkins for scheduled deployments and how it can work with Stackato. Seats are limited. Register today!
