The session is about automating deployment, testing and launching of Drupal 8 applications using BLT.

BLT is designed to improve efficiency and collaboration across Drupal projects by providing a common set of tools and standardized structure. It was born out of the need to reduce re-work, project set up time, and developer onboarding time.

Features: https://blt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README/#features

In this session we will cover:-
- Setup BLT powered Drupal 8 repository.
- Demonstration of ease of local setup with Drupal VM via blt.
- Demonstration of integration with deployment tools like jenkins to automate deployment, test cases.
- Show case of making BLT aware of multisite.
- Demonstrate to build project artifacts frontend and backend.

Learning Objectives & Outcomes: 

The session will be mainly targeted for DevOps team, however we will try to keep the session simple so that business and project managers can also get high level understanding of options for making One button deployment, Release Management possible with less code and using community provided tools and solution.
