Roll up, roll up, the first Sheffield Devops Meetup is taking place on Thursday the 11th February 2016. We’ll be at Union Street from 6:30pm onwards for an evening of devops discussion:
6:30 - 7:00 Doors open
7:00 - 7:15 Welcome talk
7:15 - 7:45 Robert Ashton - An Introduction to DevOps in Microsoft Azure
7:45 - 8:00 Break
8:00 - 8:45 Andy Burgin - Everything you ever wanted to know about Devops but were afraid to ask
8:45 onwards - to a local hostelry
On the night we’ll have two great talks, firstly Robert Ashton will be sharing some hands-on experiences of deploying and managing services in Microsoft Azure. We’ll then be joined by Andy Burgin from Leeds Devops who will be explaining what Devops is and where it came from, covering LEAN and CAMS definitions he’ll explain why the Austin Allegro has more to do with devops than any of the latest and greatest technologies and tools.

About SheffieldDevops
The devops group in Sheffield has been founded to provide a forum for discussion on:
* Adoption of software development lifecycle practices into operations and system administration.
* Creating collaborative working culture/environment for developers and operations teams.
* Applying agile principles in an environment dominated by changes, firefighting and reluctance to change.
* Automation - version control, branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines, deployment and monitoring.
* Metrics - collection of system/application/business/build/SLM metrics and the subsequent reporting and sharing.
* Technology - cool new tools from clusters to containers, cloud solutions, paas, iaas, visualization, monitoring and dashboards - just so long as they help create the devops culture.
* Adoption of Lean principles to improve the flow of work through an organisation.
We plan to meet on the second Thursday of each month in central Sheffield, we’ll have a couple of talks on the above subject areas and then head to a nearby public house to continue the discussion in an more informal manner.
We’re on the look out for speakers, so if you (or someone you know) have a passion for any of the above topics and have something to share then please get in touch via email or twitter.
The group has been created thanks to the efforts of great people on the Sheffield Digital slack channel for the digital community in Sheffield - if you want to lend a hand in running the group or have any ideas to make it bigger and better then please get in touch.
