Alright so today we're talking
about DevOps conferences
and I thought about this
because I'm actually attending
DevOps Days Atlanta this
week, and I was like,
alright so what are the top
DevOps conferences out there
that people should attend and why?
So I did a little research and I got you,
so today am gonna share with
you five DevOps conferences
that I think you should attend,
and some of the reasons why,
and the things they talk
about in those conferences.
Now, this is all based on your
background and what you do,
but I wanna make sure these are the ones
that you're aware of,
because of the information they provide,
and how it can help your career.
And stay around till the end,
because I'm actually gonna share with you
a fifth conference (beeps)
that is actually is free,
so you definitely wanna know
about that one towards the end.
Coming in at five is KubeCon.
KubeCon is put on by the Linux Foundation
and the Cloud Native Foundation.
They're talking everything microservices.
Anything regards to cloud
computing, microservices,
containerization, everything
along those lines.
It is also talking about
all open source products
like K8's, Prometheus,
things of that nature,
so if you're in open source
and you're in cloud native applications
absolutely the time for you.
The price of it isn't too terrible,
it's anywhere from $150-1000
depending on if you want to
do a lot of the workshops
or the training sessions that they offer,
so there's a lotta great
value and material here.
Locations I put it right here
where the different locations are
so you can see where you can take 'em.
It's taking place in
December of this year,
so you have a lotta time to
sign up for it, so check it out.
Coming in at number four is
Jenkins World or All Things Jenkins.
This is put in by Cloud B,
one of the Jenkins integrator,
and it's really focused,
as I share with you,
everything in regards to the CI tool.
So anything you're doing
that might relate to Jenkins
or understanding the latest
and greatest technologies
or plugins with Jenkins, how to use it
as a configuration management
tool if you desire,
anything along those lines
this conference will help you do that,
they do have training sessions,
workshops, certifications,
all that good stuff.
The price, little more expensive,
we're talking about $1000-1100
for the general enterprise edition,
and if you're a government
or non-profit organization
they actually give you a
little bit of a discount,
at around a $1000.
Lotta good information here,
it takes place primarily in San Fran,
it's coming up August
12th through to 15th,
so you have a lotta time,
a fair amount of time,
to still plan for that, so check it out.
Next, coming in at number
three we have SRE Con.
As you can guess SRE
Con is about all things
Site Reliability Engineering.
This is put on by USENIX,
the advance computing organization,
and as I share with you,
everything in regards to SRE,
so if you're an SRE manager,
if you're the cloud executive,
anything regards to SRE
you should probably
attend this conference.
Now the US one has already
taken place, it was March 25-27,
so that's already gone but
they also put on conferences
in Dublin, Ireland as well as Singapore
that are coming up in the future.
So, if you're wanting to travel,
go to different locations
you still have an opportunity to do that,
or you can put this on your
calendar for next year.
Now the cost of it isn't cheap,
it's anywhere from $950-1100
depending on how many training sessions
or workshops you wanna attend,
so talk to your company
about investing in it.
But it definitely, if you're doing SRE,
and that's important to you,
it's something you should attend.
Alright, coming in at
number two, DevSecOps.
Lot of DevSecOps, because it's definitely
the future of DevOps within anything
security's gonna be important
and the more security's important,
the more important integrating it in early
in your pipeline is gonna be important,
so DevSecOps is something
you should attend.
Everything regards to
security around DevOps,
how to integrate it, new best practices,
they have forms, training
sessions, workshops,
all of that good stuff, and
it's not super expensive.
It's anywhere from $49 to
about $90 for you to attend,
not exorbitantly expensive.
The American one's have
pretty much passed so far
as San Francisco and Pittsburgh,
have already by-passed us,
they still have Denver coming up in June,
as well as one in Istanbul,
and one in Singapore coming up
so once again, if you're able or willing
to travel internationally
you still have the opportunity to do it.
Pretty much this is for anybody,
of course, if you're doing
security within DevOps
you should absolutely
do it, but as we know,
security and DevOps
are going hand in hand,
so if you're doing DevOps in general,
you should probably do
it, so check it out.
And coming in at number one,
and you can probably
guess this, DevOps Days.
So DevOps Days, of course
has just been created
for some time ago, and is huge.
Conferences take place all over the world,
all over the United States,
there's over 30 locations I believe,
or at least 30 locations,
and you could pretty much find
this at any time, any where,
so you can attend it, this is
the one I'm going to next week
or this week in Atlanta, and
you can definitely find it
in your location, price very very cheap,
in regards to comparison
to the other ones,
anywhere from $100-200, not bad at all.
And they're talking everything DevOps.
Anything you can think
of in regards to DevOps,
if DevOps is your world,
and you really wanna learn
the best practices, different
techniques, new tools,
all of that good stuff, you
should definitely attend,
it will probably be
coming to your city soon,
so absolutely you should
attend DevOps Days,
great place to be.
The bonus, okay, bonus is All Days DevOps.
So this is a unusual or
new DevOps conference
cos' it's actually all online,
so you don't have to go
anywhere to attend this.
This is an online conference
that has about 30,000 people
actually attended it last
year, which is awesome.
You have the opportunity to listen to
120 speakers and sessions
talking about different topics
and everything DevOps,
anything you can think about.
It's great cos' you sign up for it,
and then you log in and
log out as you need to,
you don't need to be there,
they have a slack channel
that actually streams
live on YouTube that you
can communicate with people
as the speakers are talking
and actually network a little bit
as you find someone that thinks
the same way that you do,
or has an interesting point of view,
you can network as well, so
it's an online conference
lasts one day and you don't
have to leave your home,
you don't have to pay any money,
and you can do it at the office,
a lotta companies actually sign
their entire organisation up for this,
or a lot of their DevOps
employees to do this,
and actually allow you to get
paid while you're doing it,
which is pretty cool.
And the great thing about
it, if you miss a session
as long as you register
they will email you
all the sessions so you
can go back and look at it,
and if you show up late, you
can actually rewind the session
to the very very beginning.
A lot of great information,
it's coming up in November 6th
so write down the rolls,
something you should definitely consider.
Learning is always important,
I always love to share
more information with you
about things you can do to
advance your DevOps career,
right here you'll see a
couple of videos of things
that I'd share with you
about books you can read,
and things you should do
to continuously learn,
cos' it's always important so,
thanks for everybody's time,
and I'll see you next video.
