Fireside Chat Tomorrow: Implementing DevOps Process Change with Andi Mann, CA Technologies

sherly, Join us tomorrow for an informative conversation with Andi Mann, VP in the Office of the CTO at CA Technologies, and Bernard Golden about how enterprise IT groups can implement change to achieve DevOps outcomes. Register to attend the webcast. Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Time: 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm GMT Format: 60 min. with real-time Q&A #CLFchat Many people recognize DevOps as an enormous benefit — faster application deployment, automated toolchains, better cooperation across groups. However, less appreciated is the journey enterprise IT groups need to make to achieve this outcome. The plain fact is that established IT processes reflect a very different set of goals: stability, infrequent change, hands-on administration, and alignment with ITIL. In tomorrow's fireside chat, Andi and Bernard will discuss topics such as: How does DevOps get started in an IT organization: top-down or bottom-up? What kind of benefits can DevOps deliver? Who should lead a DevOps initiative: Dev or Ops? Does DevOps require new tools or can an IT organization leverage existing infrastructure tooling? What are the common pitfalls encountered in DevOps initiatives? If you have already registered for the fireside chat series, you will receive a confirmation email today with the link to attend.
