Magic, It’s DevOps)

Why I started DevOps.com
• DevOps represents a chance to get it right
• A new way of doing old things
• Anything that brings teams together can’t
be bad
• New times call for new ways
• Taking lessons learned for a course
correction

What DevOps is not
• Doesn’t defy the laws of physics or IT
• At the end of the day it is another adoption
in a line of IT adoption cycles
• Geoffrey Moore’s “Crossing the Chasm”
rules apply
• It is different yet not different

Is there one size DevOps
• DevOps is DevOps no matter the size of
the organization
• However, we would be foolish not to
realize that each organization brings its
own history, views and experience to the
equation

Unicorns
• The mythical, magical
Unicorns
• They almost all do DevOps.
While many seek to emulate
them or find the key to their
magic, others say they are a
breed apart and what works
for them will not work for
those on the other side of
the chasm.

Elephants
Elephants or as some people call them Horses are large enterprises.
Surprisingly they are adopting DevOps at a rapid pace. Various sources claim upwards of 80% either have adopted or plan to adopt DevOps soon.
What does this mean?
What is unique about their adoption cycles

The Mice
• Elephants are scared of mice. The mice
are nimble enough to run in between the
elephants legs. They are fast and quick.
• Mice do what they have to do to survive.
Startups are like mice. DevOps and
Cloud are as natural to them as loving
cheese is for mice. But at the end of the
day startups are not the mainstream.
• Startups can still help DevOps cross the
chasm

How do we do DevOps?
• From each according to his ability, to
each according to his need ~ Karl Marx
• DevOps is not some form of Communism
• But we must realize that it is hard enough
instituting cultural change and new ways.
• Use what is comfortable for organizations
to help them adopt
