As more enterprises embrace DevOps, organizational disconnects often are created between what controls DevOps teams have in place and what IT controls auditors believe need to be in place. And if the right controls are, in fact, in place they absolutely need to be communicated to the auditing teams. Bridging these gaps is often painful […]
DevOps doesn’t end at deployment
If you ask five IT admins the question “What is DevOps?” you maybe get eight different answers. We’ve attempted to define and explain the term DevOps here on staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud a few different ways, but a precise definition is still elusive.

One of the big stumbling blocks naysayers claim DevOps can’t overcome is the perceived incompatibility of DevOps with high levels of compliance regulations.

The US Air Force was doing ‘DevOps’ before it was cool
One of the pillars of DevOps is the obliteration of traditional silos, and the ability for cross-functional teams to work together to just get things done.
