DevOps is a fast growing field – a movement. Like any new technological advancement or new ‘movement’ that takes the Application Delivery world by storm, learning about DevOps is like drinking from a firehose. My series on Understanding DevOps is geared towards executives, decision makers and practitioners who are new to the field, are learning the terminology and attempting to cut thru the fluff and hype and get to the meat and potatoes (did I miss any idiom?). My attempt is to do exactly that – present a tool and technology agnostic description of the field and advances thereof. I will from time to time talk about technologies and tools that are relevant to the field of DevOps, but will try to keep an un-biased perspective (Full disclosure – I work for IBM).
The series so far:
Understanding DevOps:
- Understanding DevOps – Part 1: Defining DevOps
- Understanding DevOps – Part 2: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
- Understanding DevOps – Part 3: The Battle of Dev vs Ops
- Understanding DevOps – Part 4: Continuous Testing and Continuous Monitoring
- Understanding DevOps – Part 5: Infrastructure as Code
Adopting DevOps:
- Adopting DevOps – Part I: Begin with the Why
- Adopting DevOps – Part II: The Need for Organizational Change
- Adopting DevOps – Part III: Aligning Dev and Ops Teams
