Modern DevOps


The term "DevOps" has been with us now for fourteen-plus years.


In many ways DevOps is still fresh, with some interesting evolution up ahead. We think it's a good time to take a look at educated insight and predictions to check against our own thoughts and experiences.


We found just such an article that outlines key DevOps-related predictions from the cloud to security.


Read more down below for that, updates on the spring CA 2E CA Plex conference coming up in May, and some articles on agile principles, avoiding burnout, more.


IMPORTANT PSA: Early Bird discount pricing for the CA 2E CA Plex Spring Conference has ended, but if you register before March 15th, you'll be entered to win F1 tickets, so go get 'em now.
