<span style="background-color:#F9F9F9; padding:2px; border: 1px solid black;">'''Session Title:''' Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in a Hybrid Cloud Environment</span>

'''Description:''' At Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada we’ve recently begun migrating workloads to the cloud.  As part of our cloud journey we’ve had to find creative ways to marry existing development and deployment processes with newer continuous integration and continuous delivery processes (CI/CD).  This has led to the development of a hybrid CI/CD process which leverages existing on-premise tools while also taking advantage of cloud-based services.
