3 Steps to Building a DevOps Team Focused on Customers

Source – devops.com In most enterprises, Dev and Ops people inhabit different worlds, show scant regard for one another and communicate as little as possible—unless it is to vent about something done by “one of those” people over there.

The concept of being on the same team—creating the best possible software for customers—might be quite alien. Obviously, Dev and Ops people are

Why software resilience should be the real goal of DevOps

Source – techtarget.com Years ago, I worked for an organization that prided itself on its internal controls for software. Using a work order, developers had to get every box checked and then outline the steps to move the code to production. If there was a problem, systems would be down, and any “fix” would require a similar rigorous — and documented — process. That single-minded focus on reliability meant we had to batch changes together into projects and roll out less often. It became a

Embrace change to make the DevOps operating model succeed

Source – techtarget.com The DevOps operating model is a partnership, and, like any partnership, the participants need to move a little to find a solution that benefits everyone.
