How JUST EAT Leveraged AWS to Foster a DevOps Culture (without using the word ‘DevOps’)

A talk I gave at the Agile Vancouver Conference (Much Ado About Agile X) on Oct 26th, 2015 around how JUST EAT was able to use AWS (Amazon Web Services) to transform its organization and systems and foster a culture of trust, responsibility and authority.

The transitions and clips haven't made it to this publication, sorry about that, but you can see the video of the talk at https://youtu.be/8v3EAursPho
