Revelations from the Field - Life in the Operations Team

Topic 1 - You were a developer first. You write a great blog post on the benefits to operations as well as developers from PaaS. Can you elaborate?



Topic 2 - You spoke at the EMC {code} event at EMC World, what did you talk about what was your experience at the event?



Topic 3 - I liked in your presentation you had a slide on smoother effort, less risk. Tell us a little more about that concept and how it relates to running large operations at scale.



Topic 4 - You also mention containers aren’t enough. Tell us what you mean by that?
