CI/CD is sold as automation magic, just hook up your pipeline and watch your problems disappear! Except... they don’t. Because what really keeps DevOps moving isn’t code, it’s communication. I’ll argue that the real CI/CD is Communication and Iteration. The human stuff we pretend is soft skills but actually determines if your deploy goes smoothly or takes something down unexpectedly. In this 5 minute talk, we’ll go through how culture, not config files, makes or breaks your pipeline.

This short talk is aimed at anyone in the DevOps or Cloud Native ecosystem. It's designed to be accessible, lighthearted and not technically complex. Rather it's intended to spark a hallway conversation and get people thinking about an overlooked part of CI/CD.
