Ajay Chankramath will talk about how his team went about creating an SRE model at a place with very rigid ideas on who should do what. This has been challenging not just due to the cultural issues but also significant cost cutting as Oracle was forced to move to Cloud from a traditional capex model.

Ajay Chankramath has more 20 years of experience in Development and DevOps leadership roles in various industries. He is currently the Director of Platform & Release Engineering at the Marketing Cloud division of Oracle. Prior to that, he was Vice President of Development at Broadridge, a leader in Fintech as well as held several Senior DevOps Management roles at Xilinx, the pioneer of Fabless semiconductors. He is passionate about Developer Productivity, Self Sufficiency, SRE, cultural transformation and breaking down silos in organizations using lightweight self-enforceable processes.
