IBM InterConnect 2015 took over the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand conference centers this week with an estimated audience of more than 20,000 attendees. The event is filled with DevOps evangelists, hybrid cloud experts, and IBM customers converging to share information in presentations and panel discussions.

The Ultimate Endpoint of Enterprise DevOps
There’s a reason we so often use the word “journey” when we talk about DevOps – it is a critical aspect to a practical approach to DevOps. While we focus a lot on culture in the DevOps community, as I have previously said, culture is an output, not an input; it is the destination, not […]
Comparing DevOps to traditional IT: Eight key differences
You can make the argument that in the Software Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC) value is created in two places. First, when the software is created (development) and second, when the software is delivered to the customer and feedback received. The rest is transportation. The faster one can move code from the hands of the developer […]
Why are we still asking, “Can DevOps work here?”
It’s easy to get tired of buzzwords, especially in the software development and testing world where they’re so prevalent. But while it’s easy to blame the thought leaders and evangelists for creating them, and publishers and powerful marketing teams for inserting them into every content channel imaginable, the buzzwords that truly stick around do so […]

Here’s what I had to say in that blog: If technical debt addresses too little investment in […]
The Last Frontier in the Software-Defined Data Center
Three years ago, technology pioneer and venture capitalist Marc Andreesen famously proclaimed, “Software is eating the world,” and, more recently, industry research firm Gartner – in its top predictions for 2014 – declared, “The business is IT.” Combined, what do these statements mean for today’s enterprises? Simply put, with the continued migration toward a software-based […]
The Role of a Traditional NOC in the new DevOps World
This new question in the staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud Enterprise DevOps Q&A series comes from a large business, though not what many would recognize as a traditional or legacy enterprise. This organization, like many high-growth businesses, is in a relatively new market segment that only exists due to the rise of cloud computing and digital media. In their […]
Measure Twice. Automate Once.
“Shipping” code may start with the completion of development but it doesn’t end until after the operational delivery process ends. Just like any fulfillment process, shipping is actually just the kick off of an often arduous journey that ultimately delivers the app to the end user. Ship It Back in the old days (when they […]
