According to Information Technology Intelligence Consulting Research, 98 percent of organizations report that a single hour of downtime can cost upwards of $100,000. That doesn’t take into consideration the long-term effects on brand, potential loss of trust with existing customers and engineering time. This is why making sure high severity incidents are resolved quickly and […]
DevOps: What a Wonderful World it Would Be
The promises of DevOps are clear. They offer faster iterations, allowing ops to keep up with agile development and make an IT organization more responsive to business needs. DevOps doesn’t make less code. It doesn’t reduce configuration files. It doesn’t eliminate deployment issues (though it might reduce them). It doesn’t eliminate testing; indeed, it creates […]
IBM: DevOps Begins and Ends with Culture
Making the transition to DevOps requires as much a shift in cultural mindset as it does new platforms for building, deploying and managing applications.

DevSecOps: Digging into Root Cause Analysis
We have all been there in a postmortem when someone says, “Let’s get to the root of the problem.” And, we all know what that means: Who or what is to blame? We also all know that no one wants to play the blame game, yet we all do. But it isn’t our fault (no […]

How to Get More Visibility Into Your Continuous Deployment Process
I know far too many developers who cringe at the thought of continuous deployment. Thoughts of broken code and an endless stream of customer support requests puts continuous deployment into the “nice to have, but not right now” pile. But, it might just be a case of clearing the fog on process so you get […]
Overcoming the Awkward Teen Years of DevOps Adoption with Process-Centric IT
DevOps adoption is all over the map. Just last year, xMatters and Atlassian surveyed more than 1,000 companies on their DevOps maturity and found only 65 percent were getting the benefits from their DevOps initiative that they expected. Sixty-six percent described their maturity level at or below intermediate. And another 1,000 organizations were excluded from […]
Is DevOps Really Necessary?
I spend my days discussing DevOps and digital transformations with companies of all sizes, from startups to some of the world’s largest enterprises. I’ve found that many teams are still at a very early stage in modernizing their technology, culture and practices. However, I’m surprised at the number of the organizations that don’t believe in […]
Enthusiasm for DevOps Greater Than Actual Adoption, Survey Shows
When it comes to DevOps practices, adoption continues to lag intention by quite a bit. GitLab recently surveyed some 5,300 software developers and engineers from mostly small and medium businesses around the world. The survey examined overall attitudes and perceptions around the state of DevOps, with a particular focus on uncovering any disparities that might […]
Sneckdowns In IT Operations
What IT operations professionals can learn from the actual paths people take through tools and processes, and the differences from the expected usage model.
