DevOps Gathering 2017 - Conference Day on March 24

We had a long journey and put a lot of effort and time into the project DevOps Gathering - And on the 24th March 2017, when the Conference Days finally started, everything payed off!

As you may read in the previous blogpost, we had some pre-conference workshops to the DevOps Gathering on Thursday the 23rd March. They took place in the the campus of the Ruhr University in Bochum (RUB).

THE PROGRAM, TALKS AND SPEAKERS

One evening before the conference days, on Thursday after the workshops day, we prepared the location at the G Data Campus and organized the last stuff and prepared everything, what we had to do: The Check-In Desk, the Sponsors Area, the Conference Room and so on. We were so excited about the first official conference day! :-)

In the morning of the first main conference day the organizer Peter Roßbach warmly welcomed all attendees, sponsors and speakers with some key facts about the Conference and of course with information about the upcoming IT Revolution, about Docker, about organisation transformation and technology shift, and all the other topics that we entered in our program and talks.

We assembled such a great speaker line up and welcomed so many Docker Captains (three), international and national experts on the first day of the DevOps Gathering - As you can see in our following schedule (March 24th):

  • “How we run Kubernetes in Kubernetes, aka Kubeception” by Timo Derstappen (Giant Swarm)
  • “Docker Container Loading” by Roland Huss (RedHat)
  • “Docker Orchestration and Swarming” by Peter Roßbach (bee42 solutions)
  • “One year monitoring a small startup with Prometheus: lessons learned” by Maykel Moya (ShuttleCloud)
