In this episode, Ian Mitchell and Sean Gillespie join and talk about what it means to "travel light" when embarking on a DevOps transformation journey. We get in to the idea of evaluating (and even rethinking) current practices, how tools are only part of the solution, and what has worked for teams across the globe to modernize and thrive in today's development landscape.

In this episode, we continue the conversation with David his experience at the most recent SHARE conference. We dig in to his major takeaways, what he really feels makes a SHARE conference worthwhile, and the memories he made along the way. Enjoy!

In this episode, our very own David Rice returns (triumphantly) from the most recent SHARE conference in Kansas City, Kansas! He regales us with stories about impromptu session hosting, networking, catering (the food is always great), and even a secret conference. Listen in to part one to hear what it's like to attend SHARE and all the magic that happens there.

In this episode, we welcome David Rice as the official co-host of zDevOps Talks! We couldn't be more excited to have him under our roof, he's a stellar conversationalist and has guested on the podcast quite a few times. Welcome David!

In addition to the big welcome, David tells us about SHARE, one of our favorite conferences. David shares tips about attending, what he's learned from past conferences, and about how he will be involved. If you're at SHARE, seek him out and attend his sessions. You won't regret it!

In this episode, we have David (our official unofficial guest host) and Danny on to talk about how things look when you're migrating from an older SCM (specifically, SCLM) to and newer one (Git, in this case). As this sort of migration is becoming more of the norm recently, it felt right to have these folks on. Danny has fantastic insight and tips on how he not only survived, but is thriving in the new Git environment that he helped bring in to existence for his team. Enjoy!
