DevOps is a continuously evolving process. Organizations should approach DevOps as a constant journey of development and IT operations integration and optimization instead of a static goal or a final destination. While it is well-known that the main benefit of DevOps is breaking down silos between development and operations and faster delivery of software with much-improved quality, there are also many challenges you may encounter along the way.

A panel of internationally recognized leaders will discuss the reality of DevOps in 2021 and what the future has in store for development and ops teams. Have we seen all the benefits that DevOps has to offer? Has DevOps reached its peak, or is there still more untapped potential? If so, what is it?
