[Webinar] Scaling DevOps

#2 in the Continuous Delivery webinar series

In this talk, Jez discusses how devops can be implemented in large organizations. He will provide a selection of the common issues with devops adoption, such as managing risk, compliance with regulation and frameworks such as ITIL, and meeting auditing requirements.

He will show that devops in fact improves the ability of organizations to meet the goals of good governance. He will also provide examples of how devops has been implemented in organizations such as Amazon, through moving from projects to products and providing infrastructure as a service, and the benefits this provides.
