What DevOps Is Not

I gave an Ignite talk at DevOpsDays DC in Washington D.C based on my rant. In this talk I covered some of the most frequently seen and heard fallacies and misuses of the term “DevOps”.

DevOps has been a hot topic in the industry for some time now. A lot of people been talking about it. Some have built business models around DevOps-related tools and themes. There are even conferences and trade shows dedicated to DevOps-oriented things. People have made career around talking about it. In light of all of that, I find it chuckle-worthy that very few people actually know what DevOps is. So instead of trying to create a buzzword-infested definition of DevOps to suit my particular agenda, I’d like to talk about what DevOps is not.

Recording of the talk is also available at USPTO site:
