10:00 - 10:50 - Oak Bay	Cleosson Souza	With more and more Data Science teams collaborating in the same DevOps pipelines we’re working on, misalignment issues tend to emerge (déjà vu?). We’ll describe alignment techniques we have successfully used, as well results of our research on infrastructure to support this precious type of workload
11:00 - 11:50 - Saanich Room	Fawzy Manaa	The DevOps First Amendment - As DevOps is gaining traction in the enterprise, there’s an influx of bad DevOps execution in the name of DevOps principles. From overly restrictive pipeline patterns to blocking developers from experimentation and self-enablement, new capabilities are built, but the spirit of DevOps is sacrificed.

Top SRE Practices for DevOps - Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) originated at Google as a discipline and set of practices to operationalize and scale its services.
