The team is back to talk about the love/hate relationship with Change Management after we discuss Amazon’s new discovery service, an update on the 2012 LinkenIN hack, and how virtualization is over the hill.

We discuss:

* What is change management and what purpose does it serve?

* When is it in appropriate to use it and when it is inappropriate?

* What effect will DevOps have on change management? Doesn’t change management fly in the face of continuous delivery?
