The Hot Aisle – ChatOps is the New Normal with Jason Hand – Episode 27

Jason Hand (@jasonhand) DevOps Evangelist for VictorOps (@VictorOps) joins us this week on The Hot Aisle to talk about ChatOps and the benefit it has on a well oiled DevOps teams’ overall function. Your hosts Brent Piatti (@BrentPiatti) and Brian Carpenter (@intheDC) get the details on how ChatOps became a thing, Who is using it, Why they’re using it, and What it’s good for.  We ask hard hitting questions like: “what does it mean to make on-call suck less?” – There’s nothing to see here, unless you like being on-call and like long outages.  Find out what teams are doing to take collaboration, troubleshooting, and infrastructure / application management to a whole new level – and how they get nerds to talk to each other.  Grab your 32oz bladder buster thermos, get into the nearest papasan chair, and get ready.
