Extreme automation

This 2-day workshop focus on solving real challenges that organisations face when implementing DevOps initiatives. It introduces principles of DevOps and tools that help reach full automation of infrastructure provisioning and software delivery.
Theoretical background as well as practical hands-on examples of tools like Vagrant, Docker, AWS and others are given during this workshop and we're using Jenkins 2 during the tasks and material!
DevOps is a growing movement that encourages closer collaboration of developers and system operations to help business goals to be achieved efficiently and on time.
