<< DevOps - 2013 in review >>

Created by Paul Czarkowski / @pczarkowski

We learned that DevOps is more than
giving root to developers.

alias devops=sudo # devops

We fought a valiant battle with ruby

and we lost

$ sudo gem install nokigiri
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

details.  You may need configuration options.
				

So Opscode made Omnibus and we fought back

We learned that devops is more than just

Losing Sight of DevOps in an Automation Forest

But not for lack of trying

We were reminded that...

Devops is about inclusiveness

"I just wanted to point out that your dick joke, which I’m quite certain isn’t intended to be malicious in any way, doesn’t do anything whatsoever to help the gender diversity problem that we have in technology, and most especially in technical operations."

We were reminded that...

"There is no talent shortage"

The Puppet Vs Chef war was won...

Just Kidding! There is no war.

We shaved a metric fuckton of yaks

We were reminded that you can't
buy a devops!

But you can certainly sell one!

We learned what DevOps really means

"Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to not pass the buck. Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to want to learn all the parts and not just your little world."

We learned what DevOps really means

"Devops means working to continuously improve yourself and your sphere of influence"

We learned what DevOps really means

DevOps = Dev + Ops + Business

Nathan Harvey told us to
"Quit Your Job!"

https://speakerdeck.com/nathenharvey/quit-your-job

Those of us that took that advice prospered!

We learned how to save an ailing auto-parts retailer

and we swore to never again be a `Brent`

We learned that there's no such
person as a DevOp

"When you are the Head of DevOps, you 'own' DevOps. If DevOps fails, it is your failure, when it should be a failure of the entire company to change, adapt, and accept the cultural shift."

We learned that there's no such
person as a DevOp
