SAP has been using a DevOps & Continuous Delivery approach for building its web and mobile apps for several years, and is now building and running a global cloud at the scale needed to support the digital transformation needs of its customers. This talk recaps the story of how SAP originally adopted DevOps practices before moving on to describe how the Cloud Infrastructure Services team is building and operating its 3rd generation cloud automation system using microservices, containers and open-source software.

Darren talks about the important tools and technologies and what is most important: the people.

SAP is the world leader in Enterprise Applications with over 300,000 customers in 190 countries. Nearly half of their 78,000 employees are in technology.

In 2010, SAP started to pivot to DevOps with a small project and have since grown to a cloud scale.
