Release engineering is a relatively new field compared to systems administration. Most companies do release engineering as an afterthought, and many release engineers are wearing multiple hats.
This talk will describe the building blocks of release engineering, the sub-disciplines, and why release engineering is key to delivering high-quality software products. I’ll talk about the skills needed for a top release engineer and make some predictions about what I think is going to happen in the industry over the next few years.
