DevOps
is not the answer!
It’s just a buzzword!
16

17.
DevOps is ...
… get shit done fast and
quickly deliver it to the customer.
17

18.
… and in other words ...
… changing a lot for developers,
sysadmins, technical (dev) leads, QAs,
DBAs and more classical roles!

… that often leads to ...
… nothing about fun.

DevOps is
about culture!
So, culture is key!

Standardized platforms
as technical base layer.

33.
33
Expect failures:
Fail Fast. Fail Often.

34.
“ If you want to increase your
success rate,
double your failure rate.
