Hello again. It’s been too long since I made a post. But before I make any new posts, I want to migrate some of the better posts I did on TechNet Blogs. Most of them were migrated here. However a few seemed to not make it over. Regardless, I want to move the more relevant ones all over to WordPress since I did back them up.
At Microsoft DevOps has been very important for a while, and now in Services, it is becoming even more of the modus operandi. These are some awesome classic resources that are still relevant. Enjoy!
Hello everyone. Here is another totally tangent thought. ….Well in the light of my other blog topics. While my customers are making it loud and clear that this is where they are heading, if the are not already all in, they want to learn more about DevOps! So here you go!
But before we make any assumptions, we all need to ask the fundamental question of what DevOps is? This picture illustrates the classic “blind men and an elephant” story.
Many of the parts that you or others may think DevOps is, are really the sum of what should define it:
DevOps = People + Process + Products
With that introduction, I want to provide to my customers and the rest of you folks, the latest resources I can find on DevOps to help you in your DevOps Journey!
