Abstract:

The adoption of Agile and Cloud platforms is forcing many organisations to re-think how they provision environments and deploy applications. Many organisations are looking to implement a Platform as a Service (Paas) and DevOps strategies as a mechanism to deliver change faster, more efficiently and at a higher quality. Key to this is a very high level of deployment automation. Come to this session to hear how some of the world's largest companies are addressing this.
