This virtual, three-day class is on November 9-11, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. central time each day.

Who is this event for?

The Sketch DevOps Bootcamp is for software developers and software operations professionals who want to learn modern practices for developing, testing, and releasing software in production.

What will you get from this event?

Unlike traditional classroom environments that simply explain concepts, the DevOps Bootcamp was designed to maximize hands-on-keyboard time.

Attendees will have an opportunity to build a feature, build and execute automated resilience checks on the software, execute an automated deployment of the software.

We will also explore and utilize containerization to show how developers can experiment with new technologies, deploy faster with less variability, and leverage modern deployment techniques that provide zero-downtime allowing mid-day deployments!
