DevOps Talks Conference in Melbourne. Speakers and Sponsors. Part #1
CharterMason is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor for the upcoming DevOps Talks Conference (#DOTC), running 11-12 May 2017 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), in Melbourne Australia.
Any company on its DevOps journey is faced with a lot of technical and cultural challenges; we are going to discuss these transformation challenges, amongst many other interesting topics at DevOps Talks.
With excitement, I would like to introduce two speakers that will inspire and open new horizons for DevOps teams.
Alex Balk is DevOps Team Leader at OutBrain and will share his secret recipe for operational management and CI-CD for over 100 deployments per day on over 8K physical nodes in several locations.
Alex has over 15 years of experience in large scale computing, ranging from Intel’s compute grid, through HPC clusters, to Outbrain’s web-scale server farms. In the past few years, Alex has assembled and led several teams at Outbrain, charged with managing thousands of servers in an agile, complex environment.
