EVERYTHING AS CODE
Steven Armstrong, Principal DevOps Automation Engineer @ Paddy Power Betfair

With the emergence of devops more and more companies are looking to automate their code deployments. But automating code deployment can only take companies so far. Everything needs to be automated from the infrastructure to the load balancing and the networking. Every component of the process should be automated as software delivery is only as quick as the slowest component. In this talk Steven goes through some of the ways to implement a completely automated release process that includes immutable networking and infrastructure, some of the tooling available to help achieve this and how these steps can be added to continuous delivery pipelines.

MAKE THE PROMPT GREAT AGAIN
Jiri Tyr & Vladimir Babichev @ Motion Picture Solutions

Jiri and Vladimir talked about an application that they have developed. It’s written in Go and it facilitates you to create a nicely-looking prompt for Bash and ZSH. It also allows you to have the same prompt across remote servers and provide seamless integration with services like Docker, Vagrant and MySQL. It’s executed only on your local machine and doesn’t require any installation on the remote side.
