Workshops to help your team fuel the love of DevOps, help developers learn about operations, and one to build a continuous delivery pipeline with Chef. We will also be hosting a Chef Community Summit where Chef developers of all levels will convene for a day of open spaces to discuss the topics most important to the community.
