## About the Presentation ##
In today’s software development landscape, the integration of DevOps with Cloud Native Architectures is revolutionizing the industry. This session highlights how combining DevOps principles—such as automation, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD)—with Cloud Native Architectures’ microservices, containers, and dynamic orchestration drives innovation, efficiency, and scalability. You'll learn about the synergy between these practices and how they collectively foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

We'll look at examples in Node and .NET, using GitHub to assist where needed, and walk through putting some of these principles into action.
