Fear of DevOps

• Big learning curve

• Need to keep updated with the technology trends in DevOps

• Its not a routine job

• Can I manage with kids?

• Is it too complex for me?

• Will I be able to per-form?

• Need to work in shifts?

Why We Need More Women in DevOpsDiverse

Contribution

•People with more diverse sources of information generate consistently better ideas

•Women may think, act or approach problems differently

Data Proves It

•Women’s choices impact up to 85 percent of purchasing decisions

•Most powerful women in technology are also mothers

Equality

•More women in tech now will encourage more girls to pursue their own interest in tech later

Simply Because...

•We need more people in DevOps

•And women account to 50% of the population!

Mothers Are An Asset to DevOps!

Men and Women can work in Synergy

Stereotypes

A Story

Moral of the Story

• Girls are born with the quality to question stereotypes

• Boys take time to adapt to the "pink things"

• I had to be a mother to realize this!• We set an example for our kids• We can change our kid's perception of

the Pinks and Blues!

Factors Affecting Poor Ratio of Women in DevOps

Let's Bridge Motherhood with DevOps!

Give in your best

Prioritize

Take Help

Automate

Network

Reflect

You can manage Infra; And you can manage Life!

• Design your life• Ensure the most important service is up and running always

• Monitor your happiness • Continuous Improvement

And I Repeat...

• Motherhood and DevOps are NOT disjoint sets

• Do not give up your passion for your kids

• Do not give up kids for your passion

• "Efficiently" working mothers set a better example for their kids

• Being a mother grooms and teaches you in may ways

• DevOps teaches you many things too

• What you learn as a mother can be applied in DevOps

• What you learn in DevOps can be applied to MomOps
