We are excited to hear from more than 100 speakers about their DevOps experience and insights. Gearing up for the show, join us next week, Tuesday, October 18, 11:30am PT , for our 3rd installment in the series of Continuous Discussions (#c9d9) podcasts with Gene Kim and several of the DOES16 speakers.
