Source:-https://cloudcomputing-news.net/ It is no contradiction to say that being ‘cloud-native’ has not much to do with cloud computing.

But what does culture really mean in the context of cloud? American sociologist Ron Westrum defined organisational culture as “the organisation’s pattern of response to the

Kubernetes is a Perfect Fit With DevOps Culture

Source:-https://containerjournal.com/ In my article, 9 Pillars of Engineering DevOps With Kubernetes, I explain that collaborative culture is a core pillar of well-engineered DevOps. DevOps favors cultures that are highly collaborative, continuous learning environments with most work arranged within small cross-functional teams that have short communication paths and shared accountabilities.

A Culture-Driven Approach to DevOps Transformation

source: devops.com One of the most challenging aspects of a DevOps transformation isn’t automating and overhauling technology. The biggest challenge of DevOps is changing an organization’s culture and purpose. You can’t “buy a DevOps.” DevOps demands the involvement of people, process and tools working together. Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many companies get carried away with the latest shiny object and neglect the people aspect. So, the end results they were expecting do not come to fruition. Research from Google Cloud

Securing DevOps Is About People and Culture

Source: darkreading.com Preconceived notions and divisions make building security into the software development life cycle an uphill battle for many organizations.
