31. 31. Improving your CI/CD & the Power of Software

31. Improving your CI/CD pipeline & how everything boils down to software - with Sarah Lean

In this episode, we talk to Sarah Lean. She recently left Microsoft to go work for Octopus Deploy, in some ways a competitor to Microsoft in the area of software deployment. We discuss how you can improve your DevOps and CI/CD pipeline by using integrations from both companies. We also talk about how almost everything boils down to software, from using Azure FarmBeats for your gardening to making whisky, as Sarah herself has experienced. There even was an AI developed whisky. Furthermore, we talk about her role in the community as the founder of the Glasgow Azure User Group (how it started, its goals, challenges and benefits), as STEM (Science Tech Engineering Math) ambassador, and as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP). Helping others and even your future self.
