Developers want autonomy, while operations teams need governance and stability. Platform Ops bridges the gap, providing self-service capabilities with built-in security, compliance, and cost controls. In this session, we will explore how Platform Ops enables developers to ship faster without sacrificing operational excellence.
Topics Covered:
- The role of Platform Ops in modern cloud environments
- Common pain points between Dev and Ops (velocity vs. governance)
- Standardising infrastructure and tooling to reduce cognitive load
- How self-service automation accelerates delivery while maintaining compliance
- The importance of observability, feedback loops, and collaboration
- Examples of good Platform Ops practices in Azure
- Leveraging Azure services like ADO, Bicep, Terraform, and Policy
Key Takeaways:
✅ Developers should have guardrails, not roadblocks – Platform Ops enables self-service with control.
✅ Standardisation improves velocity without compromising security or reliability.
✅ Observability and feedback loops help both developers and ops teams collaborate effectively.
✅ Azure-native tools and automation can simplify governance and improve efficiency.
