John Vincent is a System Architect from a consumer loyalty company in Atlanta, and he’s in love with DevOps. Every #devops tweet, every SlideShare presentation, conference, keynote, or book, if it’s got the DevOps stamp on it then John has most probably read it, been there, done that.
You can read his blog post to learn more how John’s company formed the new dedicated DevOps team, and how they managed the migration from a waterfall approach to agile. John goes on to explain how DevOps effects Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Security Controls, and Corporate Hierarchy.
What’s most amazing about it is that, I personally think implementing a DevOps philosophy across the board would make compliance EASIER. All change control is AUTOMATICALLY documented. Traditional access rules aren’t an issue because no human actually logs onto servers for instance.
