What is a "platform team" and what's its role in your DevOps Transformation?

In this Episode of YADP DevOpsGroup CTO, Steve Thair, talks with Puppet Field CTO, Nigel Kersten, about Puppet's research into platform teams as part of the annual Puppet State of DevOps Report (now in its 10th year!). Nigel and Steve explore how building shared, self-service platforms help product (feature) teams deliver faster, with better stability, and ensure that the organisation can still meet all its goals around cost, governance, security and more.

In Episode 2 of YADP DevOpsGroup founder and CTO Steve Thair joins Edward Pearson for a deeper dive into the future of operations. We answer audience questions before diving into how DevOps has impacted operations teams and why 'No Ops' has 'No Chance' of becoming a successful model for modern operations.

In this our First episode of YADP we tackle the age old question of "What is DevOps?".

Since the term DevOps was coined by Patrick Dubois back in 2009 it's come to mean a lot of different things to different people (a bit like the "blind men and the elephant" parable). We attempt to strip it back and give our views of what DevOps is, and isn't, based on DevOpsGroup's experiences in helping both Enterprise and Scale-Up clients since 2013.

On this episode you'll hear from DevOpsGroup co-founder Steve Thair, the Head of our DevOpsGroup Academy James Harvey, who authored the DevOps syllabus for the British Computing Society, as well as two of our most experienced DevOps practitioners Andy Thomas and Ed Pearson who offer their first hand experiences of leading DevOps transformations.
