Continuous Discussions (#c9d9) Podcast: Episode 56 – Special Episode With Electric Cloud Customers Speaking at DOES16

We had our fifth in a series of special episodes of our Continuous Discussions (#c9d9) podcast around DevOps Enterprise Summit (DOES16) – starting this Monday, in San Francisco!

This time, we heard from HPE, Urban Science, Bluware, and Stratus Solutions about their experiences implementing DevOps at scale in large enterprises. Our speakers shared best practices and tips that they’ve identified through their journey adopting DevOps at such complex, heavily regulated organizations – from aerospace and government agencies, Big Data organizations, oil and gas companies, and software and hardware manufacturers. They also gave us a preview of what they’ll be speaking on at the event.

Watch the replay of the episode. 

And be sure to join us at DOES next week to hear from these, and other great speakers!
