Overview
Talk 1: your Cloud Native and Agile metrics, based on current reality.
If you ask people for good DevOps and agile metrics, they tell you “it depends.” Few people want to get pinned down on metrics it seems. Well, they might be right, of course, it does depend. But, you still need a framework for de-it-dependsing yourself: how do you figure which metrics to pay attention to? This talk will go over thinking through that model and suggest a few metrics for IT performance to more product-centric, business focused metrics. All based on what organizations are actually doing. Well, all except for the part where Michael Coté just make things up because they sound good. This is based on Michael Coté's upcoming book on DevOps-y, agile, etc organizational change. In particular, the chapter on metrics.

Talk 2: Teenage Mutant Ninja [Turtles|Ops]
Is it possible to feed an operations team on a single pizza? Sounds like the start of a terrible philosophical question! We will look deeper into how platform teams can focus on delivering new features and services rather than get bogged down with mundane tasks. The need to keep enterprise IT systems up to date with the latest security patches is one of the most important and effective pre-emptive security measures you can take however it should not take all of your time to achieve. Automation is a critical element, but what and how?
