Software architecture in a DevOps world

Track: Architecture
Abstract
Most modern software teams strive for Continuous Delivery of business impact with a DevOps mindset: you build it, you run it. With short iterations and continuous feedback loops, teams deploy new software to production daily. But how about the role of a software architect in such a fast-paced world? With daily deployments, is there even time for software architecture? As an architect, how do you prevent being a delaying factor to the pace and success of a team? And how do you keep up? In this session, I'll share my experiences as a software architect in the DevOps world. I'll talk about "just enough" architecture and moving from up front design to evolving architecture. After this session, you'll have practical insights and tips in how to work as an architect with a DevOps team.
