Devops

Bent je nog druk met Agile implementeren? Wees je er dan van bewust dat de volgende vloedgolf aan veranderingen er al weer aan komt. De golf DevOps maakt af wat Agile begonnen is: technologische en procesmatige integratie tussen ontwikkeling en beheer. Waar Agile zich primair focust op klant en it-vernieuwing, wordt met DevOps definitief de laatste muur geslecht: die voor de beheerafdeling. In deze blog licht ik een tipje van de sluier van DevOps op.

I've been interviewing candidates for a DevOps opening that Interactive Intelligence has available and I keep getting asked by candidates, 'What does DevOps mean to you?' If you were to google 'What is devops?' you'll find pages and pages of blogs and articles answering just that. I've read a few of them but I still find myself struggling to give a clear answer. I think the trouble with anwering this question is that people generally expect a 2-3 sentence answer and it's difficult to encapsulate all my thoughts on the subject that concisely. Another issue is that when I'm talking about DevOps, I feel like my attempts at explaining it come off as if it's some magical, fundamental, paradigm shift that exploded onto the scene and if followed will lead to peace on earth and an end to all hunger.

Packer definitions for vagrant VirtualBox and VMware baseboxes. These are the vagrant baseboxes I use for my own personal projents. This project is run against a private Jenkins instance, and as template definitions are added and/or updated, links to the generated images are added below.
