Successful implementation of DevOps solutions requires two very important investments: time and training. New technologies have always transformed how the commercial world operates. The steam engine for example, fueled the industrial revolution of the 18th century and changed the face of business forever.

The Official, Official DevOps
It seems a little storm has blown up regarding the use of the term “Official DevOps Awareness Training” as used by the ITIL training company Axelos.
