To implement DevOps, any organization needs to make big changes — changes that impact culture, processes and people.

Tooling is not a sufficient condition for a Devops culture to exist

Devops is not Only Tools

Tools do not fix broken cultures; tools expose and exacerbate existing condition in environments

4 Pillars of Effective Devops

• Collaboration • Affinity • Tools • Scaling
