People over Process over GitOps - Leigh Capili, VMware

People over Process over GitOps - Leigh Capili, VMware The Cloud-Native & GitOps communities have given us great tools. Never before have we as practitioners enjoyed so many mature APIs and open interfaces. Gluing things together is truly getting easier! However, tools only serve our goals. What is our organization striving to achieve and uphold? What are the team habits and interpersonal interactions that help us get there? Is there research on this? What should we consider as we figure out how to work with each other? Adopting Kubernetes won’t fix your people and process problems. If we want to avoid pain as a community of practitioners, we need to be thinking beyond ourselves and our keyboards. We need to remember the hard-won lessons that have been learned before us with the DevOps movement. If you are feeling this pain -- if you are struggling to get to or reap the benefits of a platform -- if your path to production has gotten worse, this talk is for you. Come learn how to evaluate your platform efforts, teams, and organizations in their cloud-native transformation.
