About the Sessions:
Following last months discussion on the role of test environments and testing within Devops, we thought we'd assemble a small but perfectly formed panel to talk about several principles and issues in the Devops space. The panel will be made up of Glen Mailer, Adam Wilbraham, a guest from G2G3 Digital and an eager volunteer on the night...
We'll be asking the panel to introduce topics, then based on the audiences' interest discuss each one in a timebox before moving on to the next topic (or not) in a Lean Coffee style discussion. Questions, opinions or observations from the audience are very much encouraged, so please be prepared to share your thoughts with the crowd.
The discussion will be chaired by our old friend and self confessed Devops Bore Andy Burgin.
Alongside this, headlining will be by Glen Mailer, with Have you heard of the 12 factors?
"These set of simple principles were originally written up by engineers at heroku in 2011, writing software that follows them is a great way to avoid lock-in by writing scalable independent services that are easy to apply devops-style thinking and processes to. I think anyone involved in designing, writing or deploying software should at least be aware of them, and if you’re not following any of them: know why. I’ll walk us all through what the principles are, and why they’re useful."

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.
