Why Attend LISA?

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

LISA14 Attendee

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

LISA14 Attendee

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

DevOps Adoption Patterns and Anti-Patterns

Invited Talk
Friday, November 13, 2015 - 2:00pm-2:45pm

Geoff Halprin, The SysAdmin Group

Abstract: 

Everyone is talking about DevOps. CIOs drop it casually into conversation as though they grok its true meaning, claim they are embracing it, and yet make none of the changes to the organization’s structure or culture that it requires. Enterprises continue to put their faith in ITIL and the silos of enterprise responsibility. The developers want Continuous Delivery but they don’t want the 2am calls. DevOps is being abused the same way Agile has been by the enterprise.

In this talk I will look at the enterprise setting, the challenges facing adoption, and how DevOps practices can be introduced. I will also describe seven adoption patterns and an anti-pattern.

Geoff Halprin, The SysAdmin Group

Geoff has over 25 years experience in the IT industry, in roles including developer, Head of Development, system administrator, system architect, troubleshooter, Principal Consultant, Director of Network Operations, and CIO. Most recently, he has been working in a large Telco facing the problems of DevOps adoption first hand. In his spare time he drinks a lot of whisky. There may be a correlation.
