I view them as separate.

Dev and OPS are like oil and water. I do not see the point.

I would rather be ops, devs have left a bad taste for me.

Well, it sounds like step one is just figuring out all what DevOps is and what parts of it interest you (it’s a pretty wide domain). At its core DevOps is more of a philosophy , and then there’s specific technologies like CM and release management and monitoring/metrics that tend to reside there as it’s the intersection of development and operations.

There is a pluralsight DevOps overview course but I can’t speak to its quality. Consider visiting a DevOpsDays close to you, listening to the DevOps Cafe podcast, and subscribing to the DevOps Weekly newsletter to get immersed.

One of the best ways to get a grounding may be to read Tom Limoncelli’s new book, The Practice of Cloud System Administration .

Praz,

If you are wanting to know more about DevOps, read this whitepaper titled, " For The Love of DevOps ." This whitepaper discusses the increasing demand for DevOps Administrators. Also, I wanted to share this video discussing the two different disciplines incorporated in DevOps, system administration and development:

Not in this brave new cloud world. The distance between is going to keep getting shorter and shorter.

These DevOps intros and guides lose me every time. They all start with something about “cooperation between admins and developers” and I go “What?” I’ve been in several IT organizations and have never had any on-staff developers. I think these types of explanations often confuse people which is why we end up with job postings for “DevOps Engineers.”

I read this article recently and it kind of made the DevOps thing make sense to me, particularly this line:

“They call this technique DevOps because it applies traditional programming techniques to system administration tasks.”

Now I’m starting to get it!
