I find this theory ridiculous. Well, it's from Gartner, I'm not surprised. We use devops practices to lower our costs and increase our stability and speed. Other people can use them to go even faster, at the cost of stability. Everything labelled as "devops" is, properly implemented, indistinguishable from "smoothly running, highly automated infrastructure/deployment/monitoring". -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
