CloudX -- Main Stage

Casey Morton, Pinnacle Solutions Group, Principal Consultant

In the early days of my career, a mentor once said to me "Everything is a product". He went on to say, "Its less about selling your software and more about creating well-defined (and documented), composable modules or Lego bricks..." This is a lesson that I keep close to my heart over 20 years later. In this session, we'll talk about how this mantra can apply to nearly everyone in IT and then we'll look at it, specifically as it applies to DevOps. What does it mean to "productize" something? Why does it matter? Why should I design for reuse even if I probably never will?We will talk through a couple of examples to better illustrate how to apply this to your daily work. Maybe its your CI/CD pipeline. Maybe its Terraform or Bicep scripts. Maybe its Helm Charts. Let's take a look at these very different scenarios and see how Productized DevOps can make your life easier and help make you more successful.
