SUMMARY:DevOps Exchange - April @ Monzo
DESCRIPTION:The DevOps Exchange April will be hosted by our good friends an
 d everyone’s favourite FinTec\, Monzo in Finsbury Square on the 9th of A
 pril.\n\nWe have Direct Line Group telling us how they are challenging bes

 onya from Pride in London sharing how GitHub Marketplace helped them autom
 ate and improve their workflow and how shifting left reduces costs and del
 ays.\n\nYitan from Asian cloud giant Alibaba will provide an insight into 
 how Alibaba Cloud are using independent tools to build global platforms. C
 losing the event\, we have Chris Evans demoing a lifesaver tool from Monzo
 \, which is designed to reduce stress and coordinate incidents in a manage

  Security Engineer @ Pride in London\n\nKeep calm and secure your CI/CD pi
 peline Description.\n\nSynopsis: “Shifting left” significantly reduces
  costs and diminishes release delays. Continuous security validation shoul
 d be added at each step from development through production to help ensure
  the application is always secure. We can then switch the conversation wit
 h the security team from approving each release to approving the CI/CD pro
 cess and having the ability to monitor and audit the process at any time.\
 n\nAround the work done with Pride in London*\, learn how the GitHub Marke
 tplace helped the team automating and improving our workflow with differen
 t tools for accessibility\, code coverage\, code review\, code quality\, s
 ecurity and other functionalities (alerting with Slack)\, and how you can 
 apply it to your projects. (*Pride in London website is a project using Ga

 .\n\n7:20pm: Henrique Rodrigues\, Principal DevOps @ Direct Line Group (Da
 rwin)\n\nBest practices considered harmful\n\nSynopsis: Too often the term
  "best practice" is thrown around like a\ntrump card\, usually followed by
  a smug grin. I don't think so. Dogmas\ndon't belong in an engineer's tool
 kit.\n\nBio: Henrique is a sysadmin with a heart of DevOps. He's been\nwor
 king at Darwin\, a secret project at Direct Line Group that leverages mach
 ine learning\n\n<20 min Break for Pizza>\n\n8pm: Yitian Xu\, Solution Arch
 itect @ Alibaba Cloud UK\n\nMulti-Cloud Enablement\n\nSynopsis: How to use
  mainstream third-party tools to manage cloud services\, building global c
 loud deployment platform.\n\n8:20pm: Chris Evans Platform Team Lead @ Monz
 o\n\nManaging Incidents at Monzo\n\nSynopsis: Dealing with incidents can b
 e stressful. On top of dealing with the issue at hand\, on-callers are oft
 en responsible for handling comms\, both internal and external\, reporting
 \, and coordinating the efforts of other engineers. To reduce the pressure
  and cognitive burden on its engineers\, Monzo built a tool to help coordi
 nate and report incidents. Chris will walk through how we use it to make i
 ncidents awesome.\n\nBio: Chris Evans leads the Platform and On-call Teams
  at Monzo. As an engineer with a coding background\, he now finds himself 
 honing his email-writing skills.\n\n8:30pm – continue the discussion the
