Presented at the 2017 Melbourne VMUG UserCon event: https://www.vmug.com/Attend/VMUG-UserCon/Melbourne-VMUG-UserCon-2017 DevOps is sweeping the IT industry like no other movement since server virtualization. It's changing the way IT is operating, how it delivers value, and the economics around IT. A prevailing view is that DevOps is only happening in the most open and unique places. In this talk we will explore the variety of areas where DevOps is being applied successfully. I'll discus how the tools (VMware, PowerShell, Puppet) and frameworks that support our traditional VMware virtualized environment come to bear in this new framework. I'll dig deeper into the methodologies of DevOps and how they affect the way our virtual environments are managed and drive value. Once we reach the impressive summary slide, attendees should have a stronger view of how their skills apply in this new framework.

This has been
“meh” at best.

is acceptable.
Cloud changed what
is expected.

Very little agility
Limited accessibility
