Synopsis

This episode is a mini-episode recorded live from the social media lounge at HP Discover Las Vegas 2012.  It was an incredible show, where I caught up with Marc and Matt - two guys who are really from opposite side of today's deploy vs. secure coin.  Somehow we quickly dove into DevOps and picked up right where my conversation with the incomprable Gene Kim left off in episode 20.  Ironically, we discussed how to deploy faster (sound familiar?) and still get security and quality into the scope of delivery... this isn't a product pitch but it's two HP guys talking about how products impact software quality, security and overall delivery speed.
