The DevOps Imperative: Why Ops Must Change and How

Do you still think DevOps is a crazy fad that will blow over? The terminology may change, but expect radical changes to IT Operations and Infrastructure. A perfect storm of changing technology, methodologies and business conditions is increasingly putting pressure on operations. The old ways of working are not getting the job done and the rest of IT has increasingly viable alternatives to traditional operations and infrastructure teams. Change won't be optional for long. Join Urbancode's Eric Minick for a look at the forces arrayed against traditional IT groups, and insights for smooth sailing with the winds of change.

This webcast will examine:

The "perfect storm" of forces changing operations from Infrastructure as a Service to Agile development.
DevOps, and why it's not so crazy after all
Manageable first steps in making a transition to DevOps

Even if your are unable to join us fill out the form, and we'll make sure you receive a recording of the event as soon as it's available.
