Scaling Ops: Embracing platform engineering’s potential

As an operations professional, you may feel outnumbered. Developers need infrastructure and automation, and the security team, legal team, and even your CFO have requirements on top of that. Platform engineering is a practice that seeks to encode all of the non-negotiables while allowing self-service to developers. This involves abstracting security requirements, providing access to the tools to scale, developing alarms and backups out of the box, allowing for cost restrictions and monitoring, and other strategies to help your organization innovate efficiently. In this webinar, we'll explore strategies to build software around your existing automation to provide both developers and stakeholders with an experience that meets their needs.
