Embrace Don't Replace: Enterprise DevOps Realities
Enterprises are under more pressure than ever to innovate and do it fast. To meet this challenge they are adopting new software practices and technologies. But, unlike small startups, these enterprises must continue to deliver mission-critical, revenue-generating applications across legacy, traditional and modern applications while ensuring security and controlling risk.
DevOps in the enterprise can include everything from mainframe to cloud native, monolith to microservices, and this reality means you can’t simply rip and replace. You must embrace choice across teams, tools and technology to unlock innovation, safely.
In this session you will learn how to allow freedom of choice for developers and DevOps engineers while ensuring security and compliance.
The Software Delivery Leadership Forum is a series of online, open and interactive events focused on topics related to Agile, DevOps and Continuous Delivery. Every episode starts with a thirty-minute presentation by an industry expert, followed by a live audience Q&A and expanded panel discussion to encourage shared growth and learning.
