Automation is not a task, it's a journey by Nitin Kumar

Everyone believes that automation is some magic that is able to take care of testing automatically. But is that true? As a part of this session, I plan to take the audience over some key facts of automation. This will help everyone understand that automation is no magic, rather it is more of a journey that we take to transform the testing into code and make it reusable.

Instant Drupal developer on-boarding with AWS and Cloud IDEs by Daynis Olman

A Significant loss of velocity can occur when a new developer joins an existing Drupal team due to difficulties in setting up localhost environments with Docker and Vagrant. The initial setup process can be very resource consuming, and at times generate errors which take hours and sometimes days to resolve. The objective of this presentation is to showcase a capability to fully onboard a brand new developer with his own Cloud-based localhost Environment that is secure, stable, browser-based and ready to commit code / immediately. This will also allow for local IDE connectivity via SSH tunnel, should the developer wish to use their own IDE.
