DevOps Community Experts

I'll be hosting "Create: DevOps" on Microsoft Learn TV on October 21. 2021 at 9 AM PT. I'll be joined by Steven Murawski as we welcome presentations from some amazing speakers from across DevOps. We'll have expert community leaders like Donovan Brown, Martin Woodward, Quintessence Anx, April Edwards, Alex Hidalgo, and Kat Cosgrove speaking about subjects that make up five key pillars of DevOps. We'll cover subjects such as culture shift, implementation of automation, cloud native applications, security, and a panel on observability.

Together with our community speakers, we share with you how to break down the silos of development and operations teams with the tools and processes that set them up for success. DevOps is more than just CI/CD, it's about cultural shifts within your organization.

DevOps: A Cultural Shift

DevOps looks to bring people together in IT organizations through shared goals, increased collaboration, and focus on improvement. While technology plays a key role in DevOps by implementing tools for automation, time management, and communication, ultimately a cultural shift within organizations is critical for success.

DevOps is a strategy that's been proven to work. As per the 2019 DevOps Research and Assessment report, high performing teams using DevOps see 208x more frequent deployments, 106x faster from commit to deploy, 7x lower change failure rate, and a much faster incident recovery. This all leads to greater reliability of our systems.

You'll also get a chance to take part in a hands-on lab that provides an introductory look at some of the tools that give teams ways to automate and deploy their applications and infrastructure. Our team will be showing you how to deploy an Azure Kubernetes Cluster with the help of Infrastructure as Code tool Bicep and GitHub Actions. We'll also explain how to create a more secure environment in sharing sensitive information by utilizing Azure Key Vault. This workshop is geared toward those just getting started with DevOps tooling.

Steven Murawski, Marcus Felling, and I will demonstrate how to implement a fully automated deployment using CI/CD methodology powered by GitHub Actions. Let's reduce our manual work and automate all the things!
