Before we dive into what DevOps is and how IT organizations should adopt this culture, let’s review what gave rise to it in the first place. Pull from Agile Development The last decade has seen […]
Continuous Integration vs. Continuous Delivery: There’s an Important Difference
If you read DevOps blogs today, it can be easy to assume that Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are synonymous terms. People often use them that way. But that’s a mistake. As an example of conflation of the terms CI and CD, take this page, which purports to be a “history of CI/CD […]
3 AWS Design Patterns to Maximize DevOps Value

DevOps Storytime: The Line, The Loop and The Cube
