+Atlanta 2016 will be held at the Historic Academy of Medicine at Georgia Tech:
+
+875 West Peachtree St., NW
+Atlanta, GA 30309
+
+## Driving
+
+Parking will be provided free of charge.
+
+
+
+[View on Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/QjHRM8LhG8L2)
+
+## Airport
+
+There is a taxi stand outside of the baggage claim at the airport. Most taxi companies have a flat, standard rate from the airport to Midtown of $32. You may pay a little less or a little more, but please be aware about the taxi that you choose: ensure that it’s a legitimate taxi company and agree upon how the price will be determined (flat rate or meter) before putting your luggage inside. If you need help, do not hesitate to ask an airport employee; we’re known to be polite here in Georgia! Unfortunately, [ride-share companies like Uber](http://www.marketplace.org/2015/11/24/business/taxi-and-uber-fight-curb-atlanta-airport) are not allows to pick-up customers at the airport.
+
+## Public Transportation
+
+[MARTA](http://www.itsmarta.com/) serves the Historic Academy of Medicine. Follow the signs from baggage claim at the airport to get to the MARTA station. From Hartsfield International Airport take MARTA to the Midtown Station. The Historic Academy of Medicine is less than a quarter-mile walk from the MARTA station, or ride the [Georgia Tech Trolly](http://pts.gatech.edu/Documents/trolley%20rambler%2014%2015%20map.pdf).
+
+## Lodging
+
+The [Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel](http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/atlbd-renaissance-atlanta-midtown-hotel/) is conveniently located across from the Historic Academy of Medicine. We have not reserved any special rates with the hotel.

We would like to share our journey towards an OS Agnostic fully automated application deployment pipeline. Our proposal would take our audience through our trial and error, how we chose our tools, how we geared those tools, and were we are headed in the future. As a sample, we would cover things like; Arriving at the conclusion that most DevOps groups focus on a handful of programming languages specific to a single OS. In contrast, CareerBuilder has applications built on both Rails and .NET. Therefore we needed a solution that satisfies both sets of requirements. We also learned that not many examples exist for Windows based deployment pipelines leveraging .Net. Most examples are geared towards Linux and a language like Rails or Node.JS. Even with all available information, it is not easy to create a serviceable solution that supports all language and OS requirements within a single gitflow framework.

Developing and Operating an Enterprise Application as a 12Factor App using Docker and Amazon Web Services
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
An application that follows the principles of the 12 Factor results in highly scalable, portable, disposable and manageable deployment. However, making a large scale enterprise or business application into a 12 Factor App is a non-trivial exercise. The technical aspects outlined below are keys to developing and operating a large scale enterprise application as a 12 Factor App:
+
+
· Componentization:
+
+
o How Spring Boot and microservices architecture could play a big role in breaking a larger monolithic application into finer grained components
+
+
o How these finer grained components could be developed, tested and versioned independently
+
+
o How Spring Cloud and Netflix libraries could be leveraged to build the plumbing around these microservices components that can provide the binding features such as service look ups, load balancing, graceful failure handling and dynamic routing of requests across these components
+
+
o What role unit testing and JUnit frameworks could play to ensure that the developed code is well tested before it reaches the version control system
+
+
· Containerization:
+
+
o How Docker could be leveraged to build, deliver and deploy the component images with consistent naming and versioning schemes.
+
+
o How containerization could help encapsulate the technology stack and application configuration nuances
+
+
o How containerization could help us optimize our applications for cross-platform deployments (cloud or on-premise)
+
+
· Continuous Integration:
+
+
o How a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery platform can be built for thoroughly testing microservices components
+
+
o Frequency and scheduling of different phases of testing and verification (functional, performance, upgradability and user acceptance) before code can be promoted to staging and production environments
+
+
o How CI/CD platform can help developers find the defects in minutes after development
+
+
· Cloud Runtime:
+
+
o How Amazon Cloud Formation and EC2 Container Service (ECS) can be leveraged to run, scale and manage microservice components on EC2
+
+
o How to enable frequent, independent and zero-downtime upgrades of the deployed components
+
+
o How to keep the application source-code completely agnostic of the underlying cloud platform such as AWS
+
+
My presentation/talk would primarily focus on these four topics and will discuss how an organization can manage getting the developers and deployment engineers work in unison to create a consistent environment for development, testing and production.

UX is seen as a bottleneck and/or creates lots of rework for Agile teams. I’ll discuss how you can incorporate LeanUX principles within your Agile teams to enable collaboration and continuous learning about your product.
+
+
I’ll discuss sharing the design process with the entire team, covering the basics of customer research, interviewing, and how to create lean personas for hypothesis validation.
Code reviews, stand up, retros, and performance reviews — all acknowledge the importance of communication and feedback and they are good starts. But they don’t tell you how to give negative feedback or ensure that you, as a teammate or manager, hear the small things before they become big things.
+
+
Let’s talk about feedback and examine frameworks for how to ask for and frame feedback effectively. Not all situations call for the same type of feedback and some are more sensitive than others. We will look at Non-violent communication, techniques from family and marriage therapy, as well as more traditional frameworks for feedback.

Conway’s Law expresses Melvin Conway’s observation that we are doomed to design systems that mirror the shapes of our organizations. Forward-thinking companies like Amazon and Netflix use Conway’s Law to their advantage. They structure their organizations to reflect the kinds of systems they want to create by matching microservices architectures with so-called “2-pizza” micro-teams.
+
+
Conway also, though, observed that designing a system is just the beginning; it also needs continual redesign. He stressed the importance of organizational flexibility to effective design. How can we achieve this flexibility without descending into re-org madness?

This talk will explore the relationship between organizations and systems. It will delve more deeply into Conway’s original article, and introduce ‘Conway’s Corollary’. By connecting Conway’s work to ideas from service design and Promise Theory, it will present an approach that treats the design and operations of systems and organizations as continuous and inseparable.
In today's world, a company must be a "Learning Organization" in order to be successful and innovative. Learning from both failure and success, in order to implement small incremental improvements is critical. But until you implement and apply new information, you haven't truly "learned” anything and you certainly haven’t improved.

According to the 2015 Monitoring Survey, most companies leverage metrics from monitoring and logging purely for performance analytics and trending. If high availability and reliability are important, they also leverage metrics to alert on fault and anomaly detection. Despite these “best practices”, the metrics are primarily only used as context to keep things “running” or return them back to "normal" if there’s a problem. Rarely is that data used as a method to identify areas of improvement once services have been restored.
+When an outage occurs to your system, you will absolutely repair and restore services as best you know how, but are you paying attention to the data from the recovery efforts? What were operators seeing during diagnosis and remediation? What were their actions? What was going on with everyone, including conversations? A step-by-step replay of exactly what took place during that outage.
+
+
This “old-view” perspective on the purpose of monitoring, logging, and alerting leaves the full value of metrics unrealized. It fails to address what’s important to the overall business objective and it lacks any hope of seeking out innovation or disruption of the status quo.
+
+
This talk will illustrate how to identify if your company is making the best use of metrics and ways to not only learn from failure, but to become a "Learning Company".

Many teams and organisations say that they are pacticing Devops successfully, yet when we look there are big differences in organizational structure, team composition and culture. Broadly speaking, we can identify to main "styles" of Devops at present: "single-team Devops" and "two-team DevOps". We'll describe the two styles, benefits and disadvantages of both, and discuss how you can figure out which might be a better fit for your team and organization.
Over the past few years, there seems to have been an increase in suicides in our sector of the IT industry. With complexity and responsibility ever increasing in the creation and support of digital services industries, we have seen a correlated increase in stress levels. We have come to know this as a term we call “Burnout.” Burnout was coined by German-American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974. The Japanese have a word for burnout that leads to death -- "karoshi." When suicide is involved they call it "karojisatsu." In this presentation, we are going to break down what we know about Burnout. We will look at some survey data and try to suggest some ways to achieve healthier outcomes for ourselves and our colleagues.
