Expanding on the concepts from his keynote, Martin Woodward digs in behind the data and gives a technical summary of the steps Microsoft has taken in its journey to DevOps. You’ll learn about Microsoft’s 80,000 engineers working in the public cloud delivering into production multiple times per day and how the company handles the different cadences of several feature teams while maintaining a single coherent and continuously integrated source of the truth. Martin explains how his team in Microsoft works and leads a live demo of Microsoft’s internal engineering systems; he’ll also spend significant time talking through the harder cultural change issues that were encountered and discuss how Microsoft has gone about building a new, much more sharing-focused culture inside the company.
