Throw Your Future Self a Lifeline with a Little DevOps Data!

We have a plethora of data available with IoT, Hybrid cloud and the world of mobile. However we often forget about the rich, insightful data of DevOps tooling that provide the mechanism for our applications to get to production.

How did the solutions get to there? Did the magic DevOps elves visit during the night? Was it Joe from Accounting? What if we could understand not only the health and status of applications but how they were deployed, by whom and when?

In this session, we will discover how Splunk can provide that insight by tapping into the extensive data that drives pipelines and deployments. Also, we will investigate what problems these datasets help to solve and how you can leverage existing solutions such as Chef and Octopus Deploy.
