Our presentation at DrupalCon Dublin 2016

Developers often want to use Configuration Management outside its intended use case. New workflows and practices have to be established. We've just presented a gallery of problems and solutions at DrupalCon Dublin 2016. The room was packed, and many people were denied admission for security reasons. For them, and for those who didn't manage to come to this DrupalCon, we are making the full presentation available here:
