Last chance for the DevOps Conference early bird special – ends August 15th!

DevOpsCon – THE conference for continuous delivery, microservices, cloud & lean business

Is DevOpsCon in your calendar already? If not, why not? It’s the place to be this December 2-5! Tickets will never be cheaper than they are right now, so book now to save yourself money and get a whole bunch of extras, then we’ll see you in Munich in December.

Here’s what you get if you buy before August 15th:

• Transformation Day: Register for a 3-Day ticket and get Transformation Day for free.
• Raspberry Pi or PlayStation Classic for free: Register for a 3- or 4-day ticket and choose between a Raspberry Pi or PlayStation Classic.
• Group discount: Receive an additional 10% discount when registering with 3+ colleagues
• Extra specials: Freelancers and employees of scientific institutions benefit from individual offers – if you’re interested, just send an email to [email protected].

Be a step ahead

DevOps is fundamentally changing the IT world and sets the path for successful business transformation. Join DevOpsCon to learn about the latest tools, technologies, and methodologies for building and maintaining secure, scalable, and resilient software systems.

Boost your productivity

How do cloud platforms, microservices, and Kubernetes play together with comprehensive automation and continuous delivery? How can you handle increasing complexity in your organization and empower high-performance teams with the right tools and agile methodologies? DevOpsCon provides plenty of answers.

Be inspired

At DevOpsCon, you will meet internationally recognized thought leaders of the DevOps movement and benefit from their expertise. Attend inspiring sessions and in-depth workshops to learn what you need to push your DevOps skills to the next level.

Conference tracks

There are eight tracks available for you to explore, each focusing on different aspects of DevOps and related topics.

Business and company culture

Lack of communication and collaboration between departments is no longer an issue that keeps employers up at night; DevOps is meant to radically optimize IT in a world where shorter development cycles and system stability don’t necessarily go hand in hand. The classic infrastructure is specifically affected: characterised by “Infrastructure as a Service”, microservices or container technology, new techniques emerge.

But all these tools and technologies only provide value when used with the right corporate culture which emphasizes values such as transparency and collaboration. In this track, DevOps practitioners share their success stories and provide tips on how to kick-start your DevOps adoption.

Cloud platforms & serverless

Modern cloud platforms represent more than an opportunity to transfer applications to public data centers. They offer a plethora of technical services that challenge the conventional ways of building and using software. Data management, user and permissions management (identity), networks, management and monitoring, and scaling are at hand as services in such environments. Calling one of those services takes just seconds to complete. In this track we offer insight into the newest approaches to set up cloud-based or even cloud native applications – from AWS to Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or Cloud Foundry to the newest trends towards serverless (FaaS) computing.

Kubernetes ecosystem

Container technology is spreading like wildfire in the software world — possibly faster than any other technology before. But what are the key learnings so far? Have the initial assumptions about the way in which containers revolutionize both the development and deployment of software been verified or falsified? What are the challenges for using containers in production and where are we heading? This track provides use cases and best practices for working with the likes of Docker, Kubernetes & Co.

Continuous delivery & automation

Continuous delivery successfully merges the process of build, test, and deployment in an agile spirit. Smooth integration of agile tools is necessary, even if this concept works best when merged with another buzzword that is close to developers’ hearts: automation. The Continuous Delivery & Automation track offers valuable practical knowledge on how to automate the software delivery and boost productivity.

Security

One of the most important DevOps trends today is the ambition to include security aspects throughout the entire lifecycle of an application. „DevSecOps“ is the battle cry for tearing down the silos of isolated security departments, which are too often involved too late in the development process in order to care for the security of the systems.

In addition to this “security shift-left,” the DevOpsCon track Security provides valuable hands-on sessions for identifying and fixing weaknesses in your IT systems. There will also be a special focus on the specific security requirements in the context of cloud, container and microservices.

Microservices & software architecture

Microservices have metamorphosed into a state-of-the art way to reduce unnecessary complexity in modern enterprise systems. In addition, they make deployment and agile development much easier. In DevOpsCon’s Microservices track you will learn how to maximize development productivity and minimize mistakes. Is the future asynchronous? Can you automate your data center with containers? Is the serverless cloud a fad or a buzzword? Let’s discover the answers together.

Monitoring, traceability & diagnostics

Native cloud applications typically consist of a number of autonomous (micro)services which communicate with each other via interfaces. While the complexity of the services aims to be low, there are new challenges for the overall system architecture. Specifically, there is a need for innovative solutions for cross aspects like dependency management, monitoring and logging, in order to guarantee the frictionless orchestration of the different service components.

The Monitoring, Traceability & Diagnostics track approaches how to handle the complexity of microservices applications. The scope ranges from performance analytics, profiling and monitoring to log management for Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes & Co.

#Slideless

This is the technology track of DevOpsCon. Here, mainly live demonstrations are shown on the console, the IDE, or any other code tool. It’s about showing how the technology really works, far away from flawless PowerPoint presentations. Just #slideless.
