Devops Needs Sushi
So I had the chance to unbox and install a fresh Dell XPS-15 9530
Dell ships the XPS13’s with Ubuntu, but for some crazy reason it does not do the same with the XPS15 which imvho is much more
appropriate for a developer as it actually has a usable size screen.
That means they also force you to boot into some proprietary OS the very first time before you can even try get into the boot options menu.
which is where you need to be.
This is a repost of an article I wrote for the Acquia Blog some time ago.
As mentioned before, devops can be summarized by talking about culture, automation, monitoring metrics and sharing. Although devops is not about tooling, there are a number of open source tools out there that will be able to help you achieve your goals. Some of those tools will also enable better communication between your development and operations teams.

People often ask, why does DevOps matter?
The honest answer to that question is…because having the development and operations team work together is the only way IT is successful.
Over the past few decades I’ve worked in different environments that include: small web start ups, big pharmaceutical companies, hardware engineering shops and large software companies and banks. All were trying different approaches to deliver quality software to their end users, customers, but most of them were failing badly.

DevOps, DevOps, DevOps … the whole world is talking about DevOps, but what is DevOps?
Since Munich 2012, DrupalCon had a dedicated devops track. After talking to
a lot of people in Prague last month, I realized that the concept of DevOps is still very unclear to a lot of developers. To a large part of the development community, DevOps development still means folks working on ’the infrastructure part’ of the development life cycle and for some it just means simply deploying Drupal, being concerned about purely keeping the site alive etc.
and with that almost a full week of side events.
For those who don’t know FOSDEM, (where have you been hiding for the past 13 years ? ) Fosdem is the annual Free and Open Source Developers European meeting. If you are into open source , you just can’t mis this event where thousands of likeminded people will meet.
And if 2 days of FOSDEM madness isn’t enough people organise events around it.
A couple of weeks ago I had this mail conversation…
I just had to share it ..

There’s a bunch of people out there that think I don’t like docker, they are wrong.
I just never understood the hype about it since I didn’t see, (and still don’t) see it being used at large and people seem to understand that as being against it.
So let me put a couple of things straight :
