Presentation: "Continuous Deployment and DevOps: Deprecating Silos"

Track: TOOLS AND PERFORMANCE / Time: Monday 13:30 - 14:30 / Location: Lille Sal, Archauz

In this session, we’ll run a retrospective on our efforts to break down organizational barriers with continuous deployment and other DevOps goodness. We’ll talk about what we have done with tools and practices like CI and build pipelines, Puppet and Yum. We’ll also address some puzzles we have encountered such as massive data deployments to many global data centres, and replacing silos with cross-functional teams in a complex, evolving environment.

Keywords: DevOps, silos, collaboration, continuous deployment, release management, RPM, Yum, Puppet, continuous integration, build pipeline, data deployment
