About the Speakers

The first session will be a series of lightning talks from Oliver Leaver-Smith, Paul Brabban, James Cutts and anyone else that fancies a slot. Just let us know in advance.

Lightning talks will be on the topics of:

Storing Secrets in DNS
Opinionated CI and CD with Heroku
Serverless


The second talk will be by Andy Butcher discussing Agile Architecture.

How can Architecture be Agile?
Surely Architecture is about designing the big picture, and Agile is about incrementally building things as you go along? How can these two things be reconciled?

And what has Architecture got to do with DevOps? The answer: Everything.

No TOGAF here!
In this talk I'll describe how Architecture can be done locally, and at scale, in a way that's lightweight, responsive, evolving, and continuous.

And crucially, we'll see why Architecture is about Operations. A software component typically takes only weeks or months to build, but often runs for several years. We need a new kind of Architecture that lives and breathes operational concerns - building simple, modular things that are easily evolvable and easily disposable.

Finally, I hope to dispel the myth once and for all that there's any conflict between Architecture and Agile, with practical advice and examples of how and why it works.

More Information

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.
