I'm thrilled to be attending and engaging in Interop
2016, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from May 2-6. Even better, I'm honored to say I'll also be speaking at the event:
IT pros need to bridge any technology construct to business utility. Utility manifests as disruptive innovation that will add value to the business and is usually reflected in applications. To realize maximum value, the end game for IT operations is enabling continuous integration and delivery of services. There are four skills that any IT professional can learn and use to enable disruptive innovation without causing disruption. This session will introduce the DART skills: Discovery, Alerting, Remediation, and Troubleshooting.
Attendees will receive:
- A walk-through of the DART framework to deal with DevOps, Infrastructure as code, and Hybrid IT.
- Examples of the skills applied to real-world application scenarios.
- Best practice tips and techniques to maximize each skill's utility to the business.
P.S. I’ll be there with my fellow Head Geek, adatole. If you’ll be at Interop Las Vegas, let us know and we can schedule a meet up.
