Time To Move on from DevOps and Continuous Delivery, Says Google Advocate (zdnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the perspective dept.

A reader shares a report: Continuous improvement and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and DevOps may be on many peoples' minds these days, but there's nothing particularly new about the concept -- software shops should have put these concepts into action years ago. Instead, technology leaders should be now worrying about the futures of their businesses. That's the view of Kelsey Hightower, staff developer advocate at Google Cloud Platform, who says too many IT leaders are debating how to manage IT operations and workflows, when their businesses are being hit with unprecedented disruption. "CI/CD is a done deal -- like 10 years ago it was a done deal," he said in a recent podcast with CTO Advisor's Keith Townsend. "There is nothing to figure out in that domain. A lot of people talk about DevOps, and there may be some culture changes, in number of people who can do it or are allowed to do it. For me, that is the table stakes. CI/CD, DevOps; we have to say, listen, figure it out, or go work with another team outside this company to figure it out."

    I have chickadees at my birdfeeder but instead of making normal chickadee sounds they go "chick-a-DONK-DONK-DONK". And a lot of the time if you're coming or going they fly at you and attack you with their little beaks like miniature kamikaze pilots. And if they miss you they circle back and shit on you. I'm starting to think the little f**kers have bird flu or something, I've never seen chickadees out for blood like this. Hell, they're usually friendly little guys. I think I'm going to get some of those sticky glue mouse traps and mount them on the bird feeder, see if I can catch some of those bastards. I wonder if they could have cross-bred with killer bees and made some kind of 'Africanized' species? Maybe I should try to catch a specimen.

    Next will be when everyone moves their stuff to an "internal" cloud. Just like when people moved off of timeshare mainframes to computers on premise.

    Nah - caching/boost server on premises. So you can have a thin cloud server to go with your thin clients.
