“Practical Proactive Ops”
Adopting something new can be overwhelming. Starting with small experiments is often the best way. In this session, Dave will walk through some examples of where teams can start implementing proactive ops. These will be practical examples that teams can begin rolling out when they get into the office on Friday.

Dave is a recovering tech lead. He works with enterprises through to startups to build high-performing teams. With a cloud-first approach to automation, he focuses on time to first value. When Dave isn’t travelling, he’s based in Canberra, Australia.

We look forward to seeing you there!
