We May Have DevOps, But Does Ops Have the Dev?

Back in 2013, Pager Duty’s Ranjib Dey surmised that it would take ages for traditional operations teams to learn and adopt mainstream development technologies. The opinion sparked quite a lively discussion around what those mainstream development technologies are, what hurdles exist for operations team to adopt them, and whether it all would be as glacial as Dey guessed. For Episode 58, we welcome Ranjib to the show for a panel discussion to revisit the tweet and look to see if anything has improved in the last 2 years. Join the panel as we parse through the puzzle of:

Continuous Deployment… or Annoy-ment?

For episode 35, the crew takes a look at a core component of continuous delivery: the application update mechanism.

We also take a look at a couple of case studies related to continuous delivery transformations, and some myths around the implementation details of continuous delivery, ultimately trying to figure out, whether it’s customers, engineering teams, release teams, or ops teams, are the way we do updates today:
