Title: From Databases to DevOps

Description:

I came to DevOps from being a DBA, which is one of the most resistant IT groups to automation. My talk will focus on how the journey I took was supported by management cultures and team cultures that foster individual growth and help increase and sustain diversity on DevOps teams.
