Title: How to Evolve Ops Skills to a DevOps World

Description:

DevOps certainly changes the way software is developed, tested, and delivered. This has put new challenges on IT operations whether it be managing new cloud offerings, or having to learn new skills to enable success. This session provides focus for attendees who may hold traditional operations roles. We'll discuss how traditional operations skills, both soft and technical, are applied to enable a DevOps culture, and ultimately provide more value to the organization.
