DevOps Days is a worldwide series of technical conferences that launched its first events in Belgium in 2009,
covering topics of software development, IT infrastructure operations, and the intersection between them.
The DevOps methodology represents the latest technological trends within various institutions as a set of revolutionary technical practices
and tools that enhance communication and interaction between software developers and IT project management experts, thus reducing costs,
improving and accelerating productivity, and implementing related processes more reliably and efficiently.
SECC has been providing training services on DevOps methodology and techniques since mid-2017 to raise awareness of using
this methodology among local companies, within an integrated system of services provided by SECC and ITIDA to improve
the efficiency of companies working in the sector or companies and entities that uses ICT in its operations.
DevOps is a multifunctional practice. Companies adopting DevOps use a range of various tools, known as toolchain which harmonizes
with one or more programming work categories, such as coding, building, testing, producing, initializing, monitoring, and observing,
thus reflecting key aspects of development and delivery.
This year’s conference sponsors include Giza Systems, Cegedim, Egypt Free and Open Source Software initiative Egypt Foss , and EgyptInnovate platform.
