DevOps is dead, long live DevOps!

DevOps began as a philosophy. A technological way of life that valued inclusion and collaboration in order to breakdown organisation barriers for the betterment of ops and dev engineers, and ultimately the bottom line of the company they work for.

In this talk Josh will talk briefly about the history of DevOps, and the landscape as it stands today, and what the future holds for the philosophy-turned-buzzword we call DevOps.
