I am reading “Confident DevOps” by Mark Peters and “Embracing DevOps Release Management” by Joel Kruger. With 30 years of technology experience, I am building a boutique consulting business focusing on DevOps and release management. I have met Mark at various conferences on DevOps and love his take on the SDLC and DevOps processes. I have seen what DevOps means to companies like GE Healthcare, JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity Investments, The Home Depot, JCPenney, and AIG. Most people think DevOps is CI/CD and can be implemented in several quarters. DevOps is not “fire and forget.” DevOps has to be built from within – that’s the only way it can be sustained.
VnV stands for a phrase in Marathi that is near and dear to my heart. “Vichitra navhe, Vegale” means “not strange, different.” If you view things as strange or weird, your outlook becomes closed and limited. But the minute you define something as “different,” your outlook on life changes, and you start adding more patterns (and people) to your repertoire.
