Abstract:
DevOps has fundamentally changed the way we manage IT. Those practicing DevOps well aren't just outpacing their competitors, they are annihilating them. With DevOps comes a whole host of new practices, tools and buzzwords. Some roles and tasks have been made redundant, while new opportunities have been created.

We all need to learn to survive in this new reality.

In this session we'll cut through the hype and look at the key concepts and findings from the Puppet State of DevOps Reports, The DevOps Handbook, and Microsoft's work in this space.

Then you will roll up your sleeves and create your own repository in GitHub, create and push a new SSDT project, and configure your own Azure DevOps Build and Release Pipeline to deploy your source code to either an on-prem SQL instance or Azure SQL DB.

Don't forget to bring a laptop!
