Disband the Deployment Army
Explore the complexities of software deployment and risk management in this insightful conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2012. Delve into the opposing perspectives of conventional change management systems and agile methodologies, examining how they approach risk in software operations. Learn about the true origins of risk, starting with an economic foundation, and discover strategies to reduce real risk in deployments. Gain valuable insights on topics such as build pipelines, essential practices for safe and predictable deployments, zero downtime deployments, and methods to minimize impact and reduce mean time to detection. Analyze the importance of charting and monitoring in risk management, and consider unsolved problems in the field. Walk away with thought-provoking questions to apply to your own software deployment processes and risk management strategies.
