[Info-vax] C99 stuff (Re: The Road to V9.0)

DevOps is also encompassing infrastructure as code, which dovetails nicely into using products like ansible, puppet and chef etc

It's the scale and time to enact any change that makes DevOps in its modern invocation worthwhile. Sure, you might be able to do similar with a myriad of VMS dcl files and some good system managers who are continually across every change but not really at scale, nor across multiple environments with differing control deployment mechanisms

The formalisation of DevOps is like the ITIL, in that it didn't mean a lot for small scale operators who intuitively developed much of what the framework codified anyhow, but it did help raise the bar for the industry overall by formalising it and frameworking it

A very simple overview of DevOps for those who have never looked at it

I'm not a fan of IBM, it's just their videos were quite good

The point I made about VMS a while back in my opinion still stands, it's got a long long way to go to fit into this world and things are already moving beyond these base concepts too

Interesting, Google was doing infrastructure as code more than 4 years ago
