DevOps is a fast growing field – a movement. Like any new technological advancement or new ‘movement’ that takes the Application Delivery world by storm, learning about DevOps is like drinking from a firehose. My series on Understanding DevOps is geared towards executives, decision makers and practitioners who are new to the field, are learning the terminology and attempting to cut thru the fluff and hype and get to the meat and potatoes (did I miss any idiom?). My attempt is to do exactly that – present a tool and technology agnostic description of the field and advances thereof. I will from time to time talk about technologies and tools that are relevant to the field of DevOps, but will try to keep an un-biased perspective
(Full disclosure – I have worked for IBM in the past, and currently work for Delphix).
