3. Why Devops?
“Do painful things more frequently, so you can make it less painful…”
Adrian Cockcroft, Architect, NetFlix
DevOps is the practice of operations and development engineers participating together
in the entire service lifecycle, from design through the development process to
production support.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one
most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin
