DevOps: State of the Union
I was lucky enough to hear Adrian delivery his state of the union presentation when he was visiting Israel. The founder of jclouds went out and interviewed a bunch of Devops trend makers in order to consolidate their ideas and map out the landscape of devops. Adam Jacob, Ernest Mueller, Grig Gheorghiu, James Turnbull, Joe Williams, Luke Kanies, Patrick Debois, and Sacha Labourey were among the interviewees in Adrian’s study.
Each interview was cataloged and summarized into four sections; the context of the interviewee in the world of devops, the state of devops today, what tools and ideas progress the devops movement and why, and where do we need to go next.
There’s no personal conclusion to the data collected, and it’s left up to the reader to self-summarize the real state of the union.

Read more about the challenge of continuous integration release in the data center.
Increasing application complexity, the growing volume and frequency of application changes, and the need to execute operations across multiple environments and infrastructures (physical, virtual and cloud) are causing application failures, bottlenecks and delays. IT operations are struggling with the challenges of managing the release and maintenance of data center applications – with quality, on time and on budget.
