DevOps and Windows: Is That Even Possible?

Abstract:

The notion of DevOps is well accepted in the Linux and open-source world. In the Windows space and for Windows admins DevOps seems like a foreign concept. Windows admins in large deployment shops typically have a different view point than Linux admins. Accordingly, Linux admins are unaware of the state of Windows at scale. This presentation will focus how DevOps can be approached in a large-scale Windows-based deployment, how to overcome the Windows admin ""mindset"" with regard to operations and dev ops. This proposal offers a strong curiosity factor while at the same time opens the philosophy further into the Windows community.
