What we learned moving 65,000 Microsofties to DevOps on the public cloud (sponsored by Microsoft)

Martin Woodward tells the story of how Microsofts internal engineering systems are being transformed from a collection of disparate in-house tools built up over decades to One Engineering System with a globally distributed 24x7x365 service on the public cloud, utilizing modern techniques and industry-recognized open source technologies.

Martin Woodward tells the full story of transforming Microsoft’s internal engineering systems from a collection of disparate in-house tools built up over decades to One Engineering System with a globally distributed 24×7×365 service on the public cloud, utilizing modern techniques and industry-recognized open source technologies. Martin shares some gory internal secrets about the engineering practices developed over 20 years of shipping proprietary shrink-wrapped software and how the company handled the transition into delivering always on, always evergreen software and services building on a combination of open source software and purely in-house components. Martin also covers some of the cultural and technology challenges different teams still face and how they plan to keep improving. And if you want to learn more—and get a demo of Microsoft’s internal engineering environment—you can join Martin later in the day for a deeper dive. This keynote is sponsored by Microsoft.
