Within the container space, microservices offer numerous benefits. However, they bring with them a level of complexity many IT organizations are unprepared to tackle.

In this panel webinar, we weigh the benefits of microservices and containers versus their drawbacks and offer some best practices for organizations to consider when implementing them in their IT environment. 

TRACY RAGAN

Tracy is CEO and Co-Founder of DeployHub. She is expert in configuration management practices, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deployment. She currently serves as a board member of the Continuous Delivery Foundation (Linux Foundation) where she is the General Member Representative. She also served on the Eclipse Foundation board as a ‘founding member’ for 5 years. Tracy began her odyssey in the area of configuration management as  a consultant to Wall Street firms building out ways to improve the software build & deploy process through automation (now called DevOps). In 1995, she co-founded OpenMake Software, a private software company that specializes in the automation of cross platform, and accelerated software builds (compile/link standards). In 2017, Tracy and her team recognized the shift in pipeline management  that the new container based architecture would require. This led to the formation of DeployHub, a new product and company focused on bringing microservice configuration mapping, sharing and deployment to high performing development teams. Ortelius was launched as an open source solution for microservice mapping in early 2019 based on a core of the DeployHub code base.
