Conclusion

A good day of conferences with a lot of interesting topics. One think remains after all the sessions : The tools are a huge part of our works, but, it’s not the most important. To implement DevOps in a project it’s more important to change the mindset accross Developers team and Ops team. And finally, DevOps, is not a job title or a teams name.
