Bootstrapping ‘DevOps as a Service’ at DuploCloud
You have to put yourself in the customer's shoes, and think, why would I buy this, and more importantly, why would I not buy this?
About The Guest
Venkat is among the pioneers who championed the public cloud technology more than a decade ago. He was an early engineer at Microsoft Azure, the first developer and founding member in Azure’s networking team. He wrote significant parts of Azure’s compute and network controller stack where he saw Azure grow from a hundred-odd servers to millions of nodes in just a few years.
After leaving Microsoft he realized that such hyperscale automation techniques have not made their way outside of companies like AWS, Microsoft and Google. This led Venkat to form DuploCloud with a goal to bring the hyperscale automation techniques to main street IT.
