Can DevOps be applied to the whole company?

We’re crossing off the days until the early bird ticket offer for Continuous Lifecycle London closes, so if you want to hear from the likes of Etsy’s Katherine Daniels, and save hundreds into the bargain, you should really click now. Katherine will be discussing how much of DevOps to date has been about how to bring …

Can DevOps be applied to hiring a DevOps consultant ?

No.

Re: Uh-oh

Yes, that was pretty much the deciding factor for me not to pay much attention anymore :)

I would just like to know how much El Reg gets paid to keep that on the front page for what? 3 months now? It was there before New Year.

"early bird expires soon"

Poor thing's been pecking out too many DevOps articles...

GDS !!??

Seriously? Is this some kind of practice run for April 1st?

[disgruntled yank]

Of course!

According to the recent Register items on DevOps, it can be applied to anything: pancakes, breakfast cereal, auto bodies, etc.

I assume DevOps was used to develop the El Reg Automated Article Writer (tm), as there seems to be a bug causing it to keep writing articles that nobody wants to read about storage companies, devops and how devops can be applied within storage companies.

DevOps...

Hows about El-Reg puts £1 in the swear box everytime an El-Reg hack mentions it?

The DevOps tidal wave is a mere ripple (if that) in most companies.

All this plugging (or flogging of a truly dead horse) ain't going to make it the hottest thing since... the last hottest thing.

Going on some forty years back, we called cross-functional teams "Tiger Teams." I've always wondered if that convention had something to do with Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. In any case, that's how I spent an awful lot of time working with non-engineering types since I could translate between the other members and to manglement. This is yet another iteration of business process re-engineering where, this time around, IT gets to play.

I'm clearly older than you - for me that recalls an old Esso commercial :)

Why should I be alone in my suffering, if the managment bots want to push DevOps then it's only fair they feel the pain too
