The document defines DevOps in several quotes emphasizing collaboration between developers and operations teams. It also discusses common DevOps adoption patterns such as separate silos, a separate DevOps team that can become just another silo, collaborating developers and operations teams, and embedding operations within development teams. Finally, it provides contact information for John Turner from Monkey Little to discuss DevOps enablement.

“DevOps means a culture where developers
and web operations engineers communicate
and work together, as opposed to a siloed
organisation where developers throw code
over the wall to operations and expect web
operations engineers to make sure it runs in
production”, Anna Shipman
“I’m afraid I’m a tester…so have pretty much no
idea what DevOps was about.”, Amy Phillips

“DevOps is about developers and operations
people working collaboratively to release software
to users.”, Dave Farley
5. “DevOps is an alternative model for the
creation of business value from the
software development life-cycle that
encompasses a product centric view
across the entire product life-cycle (from
inception to retirement) and recognises
the value in close collaboration,
experimentation and rapid feedback.”,
