What the 'Dev' in 'DevOps' Really Means

Abstract:

You won’t like it, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

Adopting agile development methodologies means more than just writing really fast scripts. If DevOps is going to become a successful operations methodology of its own accord, then ops is going to have to start thinking about long term success and sustainability. In this session we’re going to dig into what infrastructure as code really means and why it’s imperative to recognize the importance of infrastructure integration development as the future of DevOps.
