6:15 PM Speaker: "How Batman & Robin saved Ops at Contrast Security" by Boyd Hemphill

TITLE:
How Batman & Robin saved Ops at Contrast Security

ABSTRACT:
The "second way" according to The Phoenix Project is about rapid response to customers. Too often this means engineers with high privilege end up solving trivial problems instead of providing high value work. At Contrast Security, we decided we needed a super hero to save us and sent up the Bat Signal. Today, Batman - along with his trusty sidekick Robin - keep our Cloud Engineering Team focused while ensuring other teams are unblocked and providing value.

We will talk about Batman and the need for the person in the role to be idle more often than not. The rise of Robin to shorten feedback loop and begin the formation of an improvement kata. Finally, time permitting, we'll share our first stab at the "third way" of Fault Injection a.k.a. Chaos Engineering.
