Why the heck is DevOps happening? What's the single top driver? (marketing? :)
John Furrier
software for a new generation is my angle on this - infrastructure as code; programmable infra
Carmine Rimi
I think Automation is a big driver
Coté
what we see is companies wanting to deploy software more frequently, filling your App Store with new updates.
Carmine Rimi
I think it it is automating the last mile

GitHub might not exist w/o it, right @jfryman? Fixing software dev and ops creates new business - software eating the world level of productivity boost.
Coté
indeed, as @carminerimi says, much of DevOps is enabled by automating "everything" in the appdev cycle. Otherwise, it'd just be SlowOps.
James Fryman
I think that DevOps methodologies have been a major in making GitHub more efficient. Enabling Developers to be more agile in launching new features fast == more opportunities to test/launch/maintain revenue streams
John Furrier
@cote SlowOps is good; at vmworld they talked about automation but not much about orchestration

Organizations are incorporating technology into everything they do. Whoever can adapt to the needs of the customer most efficiently wins the market.

DevOps is happening because business now operates in an on-demand world; DevOps is the best method IT has to respond to this need

I think it started mainly because the cloud apis made it possible in the first place. Starting a trend that now touches all IT perimeter. it's like a global awareness raise of (new) possibilities
