For as long as people have created and run software, the two sides—build and operations—have worked at cross-purposes. Developers want to go fast and deliver more frequently, while operations teams need to ensure the releases are secure, adhere to governance policies, and are available.
DevOps attempts to bridge those worlds, by empowering developers with more self-service capability; but this creates islands of ad hoc infrastructure creation that IT must deal with. Throughout a continuous software delivery lifecycle the infrastructure is fluid, and can change at each step, demanding it is understood, tracked, enabled, and managed safely and seamlessly by all DevOps team members—from agile planning through to production and back.
Join David Williams of Quali in a discussion on how organizations can find commonality between the build and run efforts, and how automation technology can help.
