This one-day workshop will delve into the intersection of these concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how to achieve autonomy between delivery teams so they can safely build, test, and independently deploy Microservices to production.<\/p>\n<p>This one-day technical workshop will provide a hands-on journey for participants around building, testing, and deploying Microservices with a Continuous Delivery focus. Docker will be used in the target environments for hosting Microservices in containers.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop focuses more on the &#8220;How&#8221;, and less on the &#8220;What&#8221; and &#8220;Why&#8221; of Microservices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you will learn?<\/strong><br \/>\nAttendees will gain an appreciation of the techniques involved to build, test, and deploy Microservices into production using Continuous Integration pipelines and container technologies. Suggested learning material will be provided for attendees with limited exposure to Microservices.<\/p>\n<p>We will cover the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Continuously building, testing, and deploying Microservices autonomously<\/li>\n<li>Testing Microservices and ensuring changes do not break dependent systems<\/li>\n<li>Deploying and scaling Microservices in a multi-host Docker environment<\/li>\n<li>Keeping different versions of Microservices running side-by-side<\/li>\n<li>Service discovery<\/li>\n<li>Operational concerns<\/li>\n<li>Future trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Structure and audience<\/strong><br \/>\nThis workshop will be run as a series of hands-on exercises with a brief review of what Microservices are and their benefits. The target audience is Agile development teams including developers, architects, testers, operations, and anyone else involved in the implementation and deployment of service-oriented applications.<\/p>\n<p>The training will be technical in nature and will require basic knowledge of programming (any high-level language, e.g. Java, Ruby, C#, JavaScript) to understand the Microservices code.<\/p>\n<p>There will be some coverage of operational concerns of Microservices (e.g. logging, monitoring, metrics), but the focus will be on build, test and deploy pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>All code and slides will be provided electronically to attendees after the training itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prerequisites:<\/strong> A laptop where you have admin rights to install software and 10GB free disk space. Windows and Mac OS X are supported. Limited support for Linux distributions may be provided but we&#8217;ll assume you know how to get the necessary software installed yourself.<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><span class=\"icon-wrapper\" style=\"border-color:#eeeeee;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:14px;width: 1.75em; height: 1.75em;border-width:1px;padding:1px;margin-top:-0.5px\"><i class=\" fa fa-user\" style=\"font-size: inherit;color:#eeeeee;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-left in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:left;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"margin-right:25px;float:left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Clarence Bakirtzidis Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agileaustralia.com.au\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Agile-Aus-2015-Workshop-Clarence-Bakirtzidis.png\" class=\"img-responsive\"\/><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c1272d;\"><b>CLARENCE BAKIRTZDIS<\/b> &#8211; Lead Consultant, ThoughtWorks<\/span><br \/>\nClarence Bakirtzidis has over 15 years experience in development, across a variety of industries including telecommunications, finance, and healthcare.

The results will be based on peer-reviewed and validated results to help us get past opinion and into the best opportunity for you to create a great team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you will learn<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the workshop we will explore how various factors aid or hamper team development and performance. Using exercises, we experience how these factors work before exploring how to use this knowledge in other situations you are working in. The overall goal is to help you understand some of the most important factors in teams and teamwork and how you can use these to help teams you are working with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the science?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere have been thousands of articles published in peer reviewed journals on teams and teamwork. From expert opinions, through case studies and experiments to systematic reviews and meta analysis. This is a rich source of information on how teams perform or fail to perform. The research and peer review process can help us develop a better understanding of teams that is based on more than our personal experience, as well as letting us understand in different ways leading to new ways to help teams improve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teams and workgroups<\/li>\n<li>Team and group development models<\/li>\n<li>Team mental models<\/li>\n<li>Cohesion<\/li>\n<li>Leadership<\/li>\n<li>Climate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><span class=\"icon-wrapper\" style=\"border-color:#eeeeee;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:14px;width: 1.75em; height: 1.75em;border-width:1px;padding:1px;margin-top:-0.5px\"><i class=\" fa fa-user\" style=\"font-size: inherit;color:#eeeeee;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-left in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:left;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\" style=\"margin-right:25px;float:left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lachlan Heasman Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agileaustralia.com.au\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Agile-Aus-2015-Advisor-Lachlan-Heasman.png\" class=\"img-responsive\"\/><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c1272d;\"><b>LACHLAN HEASMAN<\/b> &#8211; Agile Coach<\/span><br \/>\nLachlan Heasman is an independent coach and trainer.

He has deep experience in all facets of Agile practice but in the interest of quality leaves the development work to people who do it well. Lachlan has a Masters in Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney which gives him a unique (and often annoying) perspective on coaching, leadership and change in the Agile community (which he often shares without being asked).

They maintain unity of effort by ensuring the supporting pillars of technical competence and organisational clarity are in place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Empowerment:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we give our people control, we create more effective leaders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Competence:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we engage our minds in what we are doing, we perform with better results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organisational Clarity:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we understand our purpose, we can distribute decision-making and keep unity of effort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you will learn from attending:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to create an environment where people actively engage and think.<\/li>\n<li>How to talk with to your co-workers\/teams in an empowering way so that you create leaders at every level in the organisation.<\/li>\n<li>Implement the idea of leadership as creating more leaders &#8211; not more followers.<\/li>\n<li>Implement the idea of leadership as giving control &#8211; not taking control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out this sneak peek of David Marquet&#8217;s workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mtjNN0fjTB4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/mtjNN0fjTB4<\/a><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><span class=\"icon-wrapper\" style=\"border-color:#eeeeee;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);font-size:14px;width: 1.75em; height: 1.75em;border-width:1px;padding:1px;margin-top:-0.5px\"><i class=\" fa fa-user\" style=\"font-size: inherit;color:#eeeeee;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eeeeee;border-color:#eeeeee;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-left in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:left;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-14 hover-type-none\" style=\"margin-right:25px;float:left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"David Marquet Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agileaustralia.com.au\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/david-marquet-headshot.png\" class=\"img-responsive\"\/><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c1272d;\"><b>DAVID MARQUET | Author, &#8216;Turn the Ship Around&#8217;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>David Marquet is the author of the award-winning book <em>Turn the Ship Around<\/em>.
