Getting Started with DevOps

DevOps is the hot new thing. DevOps promises better cooperation between developers and operations, test environments on demand, and seamless deployments through multiple environments. But many doubt the practicality of DevOps. What practices are prescribed? Where are the certifications? Is this thing real?

The good news is that we know large organizations that have been bridging the developer/operations gap for years - longer than "DevOps" has been a term. Come to this webinar to learn more about DevOps — and specifically, practical advice on how to get started down this exciting road.

In this webinar we'll explain:

What is DevOps?
How DevOps impacts our people, processes and tools
Incremental steps towards a DevOps transformation

This presentation will not include a product demo. If you are interested in seeing our products in action, you should request a personalized demo.

UrbanCode enables organizations to deliver software to production servers faster (physical, virtual, or cloud); resulting in decreased time to market, and accelerated pace of innovation through end-to-end software delivery. uDeploy, our Deployment Automation product, establishes repeatable, error-free, scalable application deployment processes, and provides visibility into what version is where. uBuild, our Build Management product, establishes repeatable and traceable build processes for large organizations with hundreds or thousands of developers, and provides visibility into organizational best practices; allowing development teams to scale while maintaining quality. Our approach is to harness the innate capabilities of computers to handle repetitive tasks in an error-free manner, thus freeing employees to engage in critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving.
