DEVOPS: WHAT, WHY, WHEN?

What is DevOps and Why Now? Isn’t DevOps another phrase for Agile? Who is responsible for deploying code? When deployments fail, who gets blamed? How many production deployments do you perform per year? Month? Day? Hour? What is stopping you from deploying faster?

Common Misconceptions “…DevOps is for cloud-only companies…” “…DevOps is for devs, not ops…” “…Ops resources need to learn how to code…” “…It works for small deployments but ours is complex…” “… DevOps is too complex, it would be overkill in our environment…”
