Call for round the year submissions for Rootconf in 2020

This workshop is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the principles of Continuous Delivery and who are interested in understanding how to set up a deployment pipeline using these principles in GoCD.
The workshop will be a combination of discussions and hands-on sessions. The discussions will be around CD and its related practices from GoCD tool perspective. The hands-on session of the workshop will look at key GoCD features like pipeline-as-code, elastic agents, Integration with external artifact repositories and how to deploy a containerized demo application to any modern cloud infrastructure. This will serve as a practical application of the CD principles discussed.
At the end of the workshop, the participants will have a holistic understanding of Continuous Delivery, why it is important and the practices around CD. They will be able to use GoCD to create and execute an end to end, code to deployment, pipeline. They will also have an understanding on integrating their own build systems with GoCD.
