Hi, I’m Jason Shawn

Continuous Delivery?!?“The essence of my philosophy to software delivery is to build software so that it is always in a state where it could be put into production. We call this Continuous Delivery because we are continuously running a deployment pipeline that tests if this software is in a state to be delivered.”

- Martin Fowler

Deploy Fast and Often or DIE

Rapid deployment means the business can test fast and fail without huge investment/risk

Streamline needed feedback to the business

Repeatable deployments mean less risk of downtime/outages

Your competitors will be doing this.

Avoid these PitfallsDon’t rebrand your Ops team as DevOps

Don’t deploy s/w manually

Don’t believe tools will solve everything

Don’t forget, software development is fun and deployment should be too.

Don’t fear the build, embrace it!

Thanks!
