One definition of devops

“Devops is a cultural and professional movement, focused on how we build and operate high velocity organizations, born from the experiences of its practitioners.”

- Adam Jacob, CTO & founder of Chef

It is not new

In 2009 things came together:

● Agile infrastructure thread by Patrick Debois et al.● "10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr" by John Allspaw

and Paul Hammond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOe18KhtT4

● Lessons Learned blog, and later “Lean Startup” book, by Eric Ries● “Continuous Delivery” by Jez Humble and David Farley

And something called "cloud"

Design for failure

“The best way to avoid failure is to fail constantly.”

“Being woken up at 3am every night by your pager is certainly a powerful incentive to focus on quality when writing your code.”

Martin Fowler - Microservices

“You built it, you run it”

- Werner VogelsCTO Amazon

Blameless (or blame-aware) post-mortems“Take a hard look at how the accident actually happened, treat the engineers involved with respect, and learn from the event.”

In short● Devops is about people● Devops is, also, just part of evolution● It is not for everywhere. Most powerful in the middle● It is not just for those with job labels of “dev” or “ops”● It is still young and evolving. No "best" practices yet you can blindly copy

(you have to) Adapt it to your organization, department, team● Be CALMS● Keep learning and improving● Share and enjoy!
