The concept is about new processes and practices to move faster. Note that in that 2008 definition there is no mention of tooling. The definition proposed was:ДevOps is a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the change being placed into normal production, while ensuring high quality. The term DevOps was first coined in 2008 at an Agile conference in Toronto. Probably the biggest impediment for organizations implementing DevOps (or DevSecOps as its increasingly known) is a lack of understanding or agreement on just what it is. So why is DevOps so hard, and why is it so important to get it right? And why is it important for your companyвЂ™s journey to cloud? Those same companies plan to double DevOps usage in 2021. But most of these enterprise organizations are using DevOps for less than 20% of their application estate. enterprise organizations, more than 77% of respondents indicated that they have already adopted DevOps in some capacity. Yet most companies are unhappy with the return relative to the investment. DevOps engineer jobs are constantly posted. Most companies today have started to implement DevOps. ItвЂ™s right up there with Multicloud and Agile as ideas that get more lip service than understanding or actual comprehension. One of the most over-used and misunderstood concepts in IT today is DevOps.

This weekend we get acclimatized to the city and each other, and Monday we start working with our clients! Very happy to get some experience being in the minority!Д«y end of day Friday, we should all be together.

Unlike many project teams from IT consulting firms вЂ“ the team is mostly women.

There is a lot of passion for our role вЂ“ working together with our clients вЂ“ government agencies or NGOs in Morocco вЂ“ co-creating on a strategy that can improve an economic or social challenge.It felt like old friends chatting from the moment we met. This group of near strangers who are spread across 5 continents share a lot of common concerns, beliefs and interests.This team is definitely moving from вЂformingвЂ™ to вЂnormingвЂ™ quickly.ДЄlmost half of us are on the same flight from Paris to Rabat and as we were waiting at the gate for the final flight to our destination some things became obvious very quickly. ItвЂ™s great to see a group of people whoвЂ™ve only met over webex finally connecting in person.

Colleagues were texting each other gate information, tips for how to be prepared as we arrive in Morocco, and just вЂsafe flightвЂ™. Jinzi and I connected briefly at the Air France desk in Toronto-Pearson airport before we took separate flights to Paris. Or вЂSee you in DubaiвЂ™ or some other place where they would change planes. вЂCanвЂ™t waitвЂ™ and вЂLooking forward to itвЂ™ was common. Soon the chat was buzzing with selfies as groups gathered in 2s and 3s and started to connect. It started on Wednesday when our WhatsApp chat showed a picture of two of our crew linking up to start their journey from Australia. And shorter stretches in Vancouver BC and North Carolina. A year in Europe, 4 additional years in Montreal each week.

IвЂ™m lucky that, living in Toronto, there is enough client work to keep me busy locally вЂ“ and IвЂ™ve still spent long stretches of my career traveling every week. Airports all look the same, hotels are the same and вЂroad warriorsвЂ™ really want to just get home at the end of the week. It is easy as a long-time consultant to be blasГ© about business travel. We are the IBM Corporate Service Corps for Morocco (CSCMOR13) But a group of people hoping to do some good together with our clients in Morocco are gathering and I am struck by the excitement, energy and optimism as we start to link up.
