Session Name: Building Bridges - Not Walls
"Building Bridges - Not Walls” is more than just a fancy catchphrase. It’s a CULTURE. The journey to fully engage between DEV/OPS is not an easy task. But it begins with some easy-to-apply fundamentals. And— well, a little HOPE! In my ongoing journey at Liberty University, I lead two teams representing Infrastructure (Kubernetes/Linux core) and Observability (SREs)- within IT Operations. We focus on developing supporting technologies, services, and infrastructure and breaking down barriers between the two key groups - DEV & OPS. We work daily to improve relations, expand communications, and ensure we are available. Success isn’t easy. And it definitely takes time. Cultural and technical challenges present themselves on a daily basis. But how you approach each challenge, “building a bridge, not a wall”, will result in the shifts necessary to become an effective cross-team “Dream Team” and propel your organization to new heights."
