Host Intro (Gene Kim)

Good morning. Welcome to day three here at the DevOps Enterprise Summit. I hope you are having a fantastic week, that you are learning a ton, and having lots of mutually exothermic interactions.

All right. To make time for this morning's programming, I literally have no opening remarks aside to tell you that we have another phenomenal and terrific day planned for you. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Jeff.

We've had a great first two days of the DevOps Enterprise Summit. Get ready for a great final day as well.

I just wanted to do a check-in with you. How are you feeling?

Well, you might be totally fired up about all the things you've learned. You might be feeling like you've finally found the place where you belong, your community.

You might be thinking about all the things you've learned and the people you've talked to and wondering what you're going to do with it all.

You might finally be realizing that the struggle is real.

You might also have a sense of resolve, a sense that you could do it. You can make a difference.

And if you've been staring at a screen for the last two days or two years, your tank might just be completely empty.

If you're like me, you might be feeling all these things all at the same time. That's okay. Plug in, fuel up, get ready for a great day three of the DevOps Enterprise Summit.

We want to hear your stories. We want to hear what you've learned, the people you've met, the ideas you want to try out, and the actions you'll take when you go back to work. Please share those with us in the summit stories channel in Slack.

Please, please, please, that's three pleases, get that session feedback in. The feedback is so valuable to us, the speakers, and the programming committee. Feedback is a gift. Sharing is caring.
