In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the fact that more organizations are looking to embrace the “DevOps culture.” However, unlike ITIL, implementing DevOps into an organization does not happen overnight. DevOps is more a philosophy than a procedure, and choosing the right leadership team is as important as choosing the right tools. In […]
DevOps by Osmosis — Is That Even Possible?
“We don’t do DevOps. We can’t, as our development plans are agreed so far in advance and our priority from a production point of view is to keep our systems available 24/7.” I heard this comment from a pal of mine as we had a quiet beer over the weekend, but I’m sure this comment, […]

If there’s any consistent criticism of the larger DevOps movement, it’s that the talking heads and industry gadflies are driving the conversation, not the people in the trenches.

First came questions about what DevOps actually is and its usefulness in an […]
Embracing a DevOps Culture, Part 1
DevOps is popular right now. So it should come as no surprise that organizations across all industries are eager to embrace the “DevOps culture.” However, unlike ITIL, implementing DevOps into an organization does not happen overnight.

Leveraging DevOps to Expose The Entire IT Iceberg
On September 16th I attended and spoke at a CIO Magazine event in Chicago. These are some of the best events to attend as the audience is typically CIO or senior IT leadership.
