Cold Start: A week in the Windy City for DevOpsDays Chicago and our AppSec Weekly interview

Hi there,

DevOpsDays Chicago

As a reminder, we'll be at DevOpsDays Chicago this week. If you're at the conference or in the Windy City then reach out to us! We'd love to meet. I'll be speaking there on Tuesday morning and giving my Flying v. Driving: Myths, fears, and opportunity when going serverless talk.

And speaking of conference talks, we'll have more news next week. Just you wait!

AppSec Weekly Show

This past week we made an appearance on the AppSec Weekly Show. We chatted about both defending serverless and serverless as an enabler for security teams. Our recent blog post Serverless DevOps: Security also came up too. Have a watch!

Closing

I'm Tom from ServerlessOps and we provide services to make you successful with your DevOps transformation and AWS migration. Ask us about our training and advisory services.

Also let us know what you think of this week's Cold Start using the 👍/👎 links at the end of this email!

Cheers,
Tom at ServerlessOps
