Some are seekers on the quest for the one, true DevOps. They were misled. I’m here to say: Give it up. Whatever you find at the end of that journey isn’t it. That one true DevOps is dead. Dead and buried. The search is pointless or, kind of worse: The search misses the point altogether. DevOps began […]
Why Financial Companies Love Continuous Delivery
The other day I was on the American Express website paying bills and browsing around the benefits and services afforded me when I ran across a “who we are” section. It read: “We’re a global services company that provides customers with access to products, insights and experiences that enrich lives and build business success.” Surprisingly, […]
Security @ the Speed of DevOps Survey: Efforts Still Lag
Enterprises today are in a relentless race to digitize or die. If they don’t digitize business processes, services or internal workflows and their competitors do, they will be at a steep disadvantage—and perhaps soon an irrecoverable one.

DevOps: State of the Art in 2017, and Why CDOs Should Care
Nine years after the term “DevOps” was coined, the following two questions seem still open: What does it stand exactly for? and How do we make all this technology work together? From the perspective of the industrialization of work labor also in the software industry, the answer to the first question appears very clear to […]
F5 Networks’s State of Application Delivery, 2017
For the last three years, F5 Networks has surveyed its users and presented the “State of Application Delivery” report. This year’s report is already a couple of weeks old, and I’ve had the opportunity to read through it.

Predictable Progress: Tracking DevOps Maturity Metrics
As DevOps methodologies continue to evolve, we’re naturally seeing an increased emphasis on the cultivation of related maturity metrics. For instance, in the 2016 State of DevOps Report, researchers with DORA took an initial stab at creating relevant ROI measurements. Similarly, a new report issued by researchers Coleman Parkes, sponsored by CA Technologies, offers additional […]
How Open Source Can Help Your CD Chain
What can you do to make continuous delivery work better? Consider moving to open source software solutions. Here’s why. Many DevOps teams already may be using open-source platforms for reasons not related to continuous delivery. They might like the cost-efficiency or interoperability that usually come with open source. Or maybe they just like the open-source […]
DevOps by the Book in 2017: Where we Really Stand
Now that the year-end prediction season is over, it’s time to focus squarely on the actual here and now—where the DevOps movement actually stands at the start of 2017. As we’ll need to wait another six months or so for the annual State of DevOps Report to emerge from the good folks over at DORA […]
A Holiday Tradition: 2017 Continuous Delivery Predictions
It’s that time of year. As the calendar year comes to a close, many of us are following time-honored traditions: making preparations for the holidays, planning some much-deserved time off and enjoying time with friends and family. In the business world, the year-end also brings its own traditions, and first among those is making predictions […]
Assembling the Key Components of Continuous Delivery
As agile methodology was popularized at the start of last decade, engineering teams gained the opportunity to begin producing software in shorter cycles, while releasing it reliably at more frequent intervals. This concept garnered greater attention in 2009, when Tim Fitz published his thoughts on continuous deployment. By the time Jez Humble authored his seminal book, […]
