About DevOps and DevOps Days
DevOps (a portmanteau of "development" and "operations") is a
software development method that stresses communication,
collaboration (information sharing and web service usage),
integration, automation and measurement of cooperation between
software developers and other information-technology (IT)
professionals. DevOps acknowledges the
interdependence of software development, quality assurance, and IT
operations, and aims to help an organization rapidly produce
software products and services and to improve operations
performance.1
DevOps Days is a technical conference, aimed at developers,
sysadmins, architects and anyone else involved in technology,
whether expert or beginner. The term "DevOps" was popularized
through a series of DevOps Days starting in 2009 in Belgium. Since then, there have been DevOps
Days conferences held in many countries
worldwide.2 www.devopsdays.org
