Well, here we are. We are at the end of the conference programming. Thank you so much for being with us for the last three days. I hope it has been fantastic and worthwhile.

I hope you've been inspired by the success stories of your fellow travelers. I hope you've learned things that help you in your own journey, that you've had meaningful and mutually exothermic interactions with your peers, and that you've been given even more evidence that the work that you do matters to people who matter, and that you have had fun, too.

I'm so grateful to our programming committee. Everything that you've seen here for the past eight years is a result of their work, and I think the reason why they put up with what they put up with is that, like you, we all have goals, aspirations, and things we want to learn, and that are being advanced by this event.

I want to thank the conference ops team, Aaron Mozeleski and the Gaiwan team, who built the platform that this runs upon, as well as all the video editing tools that have made life so much easier for us this year. Given all the things that could go wrong throughout this conference, whether it's DNS, API limits, streaming problems, transcoding errors, SSL certificates, authentication problems, I have a new appreciation for the number of things required to make these conferences happen.

And the Gaiwan team has been terrific, so that's Arne Brasseur, Mitesh, Alance, and Lawrence. Thank you so much for creating the tools that made this event possible.

And, oh my goodness, thank you to the entire IT Revolution team. We have spent the last year studying online events, frantically learning, experimenting, and plunging into the unknown, and we've often wondered just how different are online events to in-person events. I will conclude to you that it is vastly different. I am so proud of what we've been able to pull off for the last three virtual events, so my hat's off to all of you: my boss and my wife, Marguerite Kim; Molly Coyne; Anne Perry; Kira Vu; Alex Broderick-Forster; Aaron Mozeleski; Anna; Leah; Diana; and of course, my buddy and co-emcee, Jeff.

As you know, I have asked every speaker to end with a slide with the title of "Help I'm Looking For." So here is the help I'm looking for. Feedback is love. Tell us what you loved about the conference and ideas on how to improve. Feel free to post them in Slack in the general channel. If you have any ideas on getting a Fortune 50 CEO to present on why your work is important, let's talk. And if you have any ideas on how you would want this community to interact outside of the conference, again, let me know. I would love to hear from you.

Once again, thank you, everyone, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon, hopefully in person, and looking forward to seeing you in a real live event, hopefully next year.

Jeff, over to you to close.

We're almost at the end of this year's DevOps Enterprise Summit. Just a reminder: we have the session slides and the videos available. All of the plenary talks and the breakout talks are available to you now. The slides are also all available for download in Dropbox and GitHub.

Another reminder that, as part of your registration, you have personal access to the video library for 14 days, not seven. We increased it because we wanted you to have more access to the valuable videos. If you want access longer or to share the videos with more people, we've created some options to make it easy to do that. Check out Slack for more info.

If you want even more videos, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Now, the reason we're sharing all these videos and slides with you is because we want you to share them with others. We want you to share the presentations. We want you to share the sponsor swag and prizes. We want you to share the videos. And most of all, we want you to share your learning and your stories with the people you work with.

And speaking of sharing, we want your session feedback. You know what I'm going to say next: feedback is a gift. Sharing is caring.

For the last three days, we've been talking a lot about community. That's what this is all about. It's the spirit of the DevOps Enterprise Summit to get together to go faster as a community.

And there will be another opportunity for us all to get back together and go faster later this year and again next year because we all have a need to connect, to share, and to learn. We have the DevOps Enterprise Summit US virtual on October 5th through the 7th, and if all goes according to plan, we'll be back in London in person in 2022.

Until then, be well, stay safe, and we'll see you, hopefully in person, next year. Take care, everybody.
