Right, the guy that made the Azure DevOps presentation from our group
had a hard time to understand why we just didn't copy our source codes
to a Azure VM and just run the build from DevOps... :-)

We had to run a quick presentation of OpenVMS on our Alpha dev system.
Oh, so it is Cobol?
Oh, so it is a main-frame?
Oh, so this is not running on X86?

Ah, well. Not my idea to look at DevOps. It also seems as we are going
to Agile/Scrum also. Where are those retirment plans...
