DevOps@UMN presents Bridget Kromhout

The DevOps steering committee is excited to announce that Bridget Kromhout will be presenting “Cloudy With a Chance of DevOps” on June 15 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm in Humphrey 50B. We will be heading to Republic immediately following the talk for happy hour. Hope you can join us!

Talk Description

Devops is culture enabled by tools, which are necessary but not sufficient. I touch on the history of devopsdays and the motivations that lead orgs to devops, while encouraging orgs to collaborate, communicate, and iterate towards increasing value for their orgs.

Speaker Bio

Bridget Kromhout is a Principal Technologist for Cloud Foundry at Pivotal. Her CS degree emphasis was in theory, but she now deals with the concrete (if ‘cloud’ can be considered tangible). After years as an operations engineer (most recently at DramaFever), she traded in on-call for more travel. A frequent speaker at tech conferences, she helps organize tech meetups at home in Minneapolis, serves on the program committee for Velocity, and acts as a global core organizer for devopsdays. She podcasts at Arrested DevOps, occasionally blogs at bridgetkromhout.com, and is active in a Twitterverse near you.
