I am really pleased to say that we at Black Marble are again hosting a venue for this year’s edition of the Global DevOps Bootcamp on Saturday May 30th 2020.
For those who have not been to a previous GDBC event at Black Marble, or any of the other 70+ venues across the work, what can you expect on the day?
Lat years content can be seen here, this years will be all new.
It is worth stressing that this event is not a competition. It is a day of learning for people of all levels of experience. We encourage the forming of teams that are cross skill and include all levels of experience. The key aims for the day are that everyone learns and has a great time.
Oh, and did I mention it is a FREE event and lunch will be provided.

Do you find your TFS server gets forgotten?
Well maybe it is time to consider moving your on-premises TFS instance to VSTS?
On the 9th of May at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Leeds I will be presenting at a Black Marble /Microsoft event where we will be looking at Microsoft’s new high fidelity VSTS database import tools that can be used to move a TFS instance to VSTS.
I will also be considering the pros and cons of the other migration options available to you. Hopefully making this a very useful session if you are considering a move to VSTS from TFS or any other source control ALM solution.

I m really pleased to say that we at Black Marble are hosting a Yorkshire venue for the upcoming Global DevOps Bootcamp, to quote the main bootcamp site…
“Global DevOps Bootcamp is a global event that will be held on Saturday June 17th and is all about DevOps on the Microsoft Stack. Centrally organized by Xpirit and Solidify and offered to you by Black Marble. During this 1-day event we will join (Microsoft) DevOps communities all around the world to talk, learn and play with DevOps concepts.
Goals of the GlobalDevOpsBootcamp:
* DevOps in general
* Insights into where we are heading when it comes to DevOps and new technologies
* Get people’s hands dirty and let them play with all the good Microsoft DevOps stuff
This year’s theme will be “From server to serverless in a DevOps world”.
We will kick off with an introduction of no one less than Donovan Brown, followed by a keynote from the local partner about where we are heading with DevOps.
After that it’s time to get your hands dirty! Competing in groups you will transform an existing “traditional” application into a fully-fledged, containerized or Serverless application. Naturally you need to take care of all the DevOps practices like monitoring, pipelines and collaboration.”
There is a specific site register for the Black Marble venue
