Bridging DevOps and ITIL

Join us for a DevOps webinar with our friends at Datadog
Join us on March 10th at 2pm est for a webinar dedicated to ‘Conversation-Driven DevOps’. At its heart, the goal of DevOps is better communication between the dev and operations teams at an organization. Some of the tools that help achieve this include version control, chat, and monitoring. By moving the conversations around development and operations out of email and into chat, everyone can see exactly what is going on at every step of the way.
Open Dojo #5 – Is DevOps the end of QA?
Thursday October 24th, 9am Pacific We all know that the DevOps approach brings developers and operators into closer collaboration.

Alerts, anomalies & automated canaries at DevOps Dojo hangout #4
For our 4th installment of the DevOps Dojo hangouts, we corralled monitoring mavens from Atlassian, LogicMonitor, Netflix, and Metafor for an hour-long geek-out that got quite animated!

Releasing the DevOps Way pt. 2: Deployment Bottlenecks
Welcome back to our mini-series on managing releases “the DevOps way”. Before we dive into the meat of today’s topic, allow me to explain why I’m ascribing the DevOps moniker to these ideas. DevOps is an approach to building high-quality, rapidly-delivered software in a way that isn’t painful. DevOps is not a tool. DevOps is […]
Releasing the DevOps Way pt. 1: Team Communication
Humans have been making software for a surprisingly long time: from the proto-software devised to decrypt Enigma-encoded transmissions in the 1940s, to the read-only program controlling the decent of Apollo lunar modules, to the dizzying array of apps we carry in our pockets and purses today. But throughout the computer-age revolution, one thing that hasn’t changed […]
DevOps & Distributed Teams
Soon after joining Atlassian about 18 months ago, it was clear that this is a DevOps-minded crew. Not that there’s any coordinated effort around this.

Oz News: Devops Down Under
“Devops” is a movement of like-minded sysadmins and developers interested in bridging the artificial gap between our camps. It’s impossible for sysadmins to do their job without reading or writing code, and developers need intimate systems knowledge to scale their software. Building on the tremendous success of Devopsdays in 2009, Australian developers and sysadmins are […]
Why Jenkins might cost you 10x more than Bitbucket Pipelines
And slowing down your developers and your pace of innovation in the process Any company still running their own CI/CD, such as Jenkins, is paying a price.
