Conclusion
One cannot buy DevOps.
DevOps IS agile infrastructure.
Get your head around Lean & Deming.
Try avoid being robots. Understand the context, the
problem and the theory.
DevOps (or rather, devops) is not a thing, not a product,
not a team, not a brand, not a tool, not a certification. It
is an idea.
