Programmability and Automation Meetup: It's time to rebuild DevOps
As we approach the 15th anniversary of DevOps, we find ourselves at a crossroads. While DevOps was initially conceived to break down silos and enhance communication for stability, reliability, availability, and security, the proliferation of tools has unintentionally created new complexities and silos. What if we could embark on a paradigm shift, rather than an incremental one, based on lessons learned along the way? In this presentation, System Initiative reflected on the lessons learned throughout the DevOps journey and explored how we, as a community, can transform how we collaborate to build and maintain complex infrastructure. Whether you're a seasoned DevOps expert or just embarking on this journey, this talk will provide valuable insights into the role you can play in ushering in the "second wave of DevOps." We'll discuss the capabilities we see as necessary in a new platform and explore what's possible when we are no longer constrained by the current state of the system that we, together, have created over the last 15 years.
