Being unaware of your situation can and will lead to mistakes. In his keynote at the DevOpsCon 2017 in Berlin, Simon Wardley examines the issue of situational awareness and explaines how it applies to the world of DevOps.
Using examples from government and the commercial world, Simon Wardley explores the methods of mapping your environment, identifying opportunities to exploit, and learning to play the game. He also answers the question what modern DevOps inherited from its predecessors and talks about the legacies which will be passed on to its successors.
