DevOps started out as “Agile Systems Administration”. In 2008, Andrew Shafer did a talk called “Agile Infrastructure” addressing issues around involving more of the company in the same disciplines as programmers.<p>In 2009, Patrick Debois created “DevOpsDays” conference to help to bring it to light. However, it wouldn’t begin to trend until about 2010, when people would begin to describe it as a standalone discipline.<p>Today, DevOps goes beyond just developers, systems administration and infrastructure, its about dev, ops, agile, cloud, open source and business, everything.<p>DevOps is a movement. There’s no certificate, role, set of tools or prescriptive process. There’s no specification, it’s not a product, or job title. There’s no one true voice on what DevOps is or isn’t. It’s about attitude, ideas, customs and behaviours. Culture, paradigms and philosophy. It’s a way of thinking, a way of doing and a way of being. Practicing as well as preaching. It’s a conversation. It’s about taking the best experiences and sharing those with others.
