The inaugural DevOps For Banks Meetup here in Toronto which I previewed a while back happened last Tuesday.   It was a lot of fun.   I provided the social glue to bring the event into existence but the evening itself was the work of many hands.   Thank you all 🙂

Storify of the night.

We’ll have to do it again, eh?

Join us this month for a special DevOps for Banks session hosted by ThinkData Works!

Format: some short presentations and discussions followed by free-form mingling on the rooftop patio.

Presentations/discussions:

Why are we here? – Bob Summerwill (DevOps Solutions Architect, TD Securities)

Bob will spend a few minutes providing an introduction to this special session.

Incident Management – Dave Cliffe (PagerDuty)

As DevOps is proving, breaking down silos between Dev and Ops is critical to any IT organization, no matter what industry you’re in.   A huge part of that is the idea of “shared operational responsibility”, where everyone is responsible for production, not just Operations staff.  Let’s have a discussion about the impact on monitoring, alerting, on-call processes, and broader Incident Management in this brave new world of DevOps.

Chef Analytics – Andrew Dufour (Chef)

Most people in the DevOps field know Chef as a configuration management product. We’ll explore how Chef Analytics and Audit mode can help you drive innovation at velocity in a highly regulated, compliance based environment.
