What people say. Engineers point to this seminal 2009 Velocity talk as the foundational presentation that catalyzed the DevOps movement.

On “Ask HN: What are some of the best technical talks you've heard?”

10+ deployments per day from Velocity 2009. It was really a pivotal talk in the early days of the DevOps movement link to this video Fixing Twitter: Improving the Performance and Scalability of the World's Most Popular Micro-blogging Site by John Adams (then from Twitter)at Velocity 2009 (Velocity 2009 was really an incredibly pivotal and influential conference in the DevOps movement). link Bootstrapping an Infrastructure by Steve Traugott at Lisa 1998. I don't know of any videos of the talk, but the related paper eventually lead to Puppet and the beginning of the modern configuration management software link There is no talent shortage by Andrew Schaefer, co-founder of Puppet from Velocity NYC 201…

On “How to properly manage SSH keys for server access”

Everyone having their own idea of what devops means is problematic. I think it’s best to consider the original source which is this talk from Flickr: link to this video ("10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr"). Directly it talks about joining developers and operations into the same team- later Patrick Debois would refer to this as DevOps and a year later the first DevOps days in Ghent was organised (also by Debois).

On “Books that changed my career as a software engineer”

It didn't invent the term. John Allspaw and Paul Hammond maybe did, in this talk: link to this video (from the comments, I guess this talk is actually referenced in the book?) Other places credit Patrick Debois who ran the first devopsday in the same year: link

On “DevOps Is Bullshit (2022)”

People downvoting this guy are misinformed. There are two major sources for DevOps: 1) the 10+ deploys a day talk from Flickr: link to this video which is where most of the actual methodology comes from. 2) The "DevOps Days" (first use of the portmanteau by Patrick Dubois) which was an agile conference aimed at Systems Administrators trying to get them to work more agile; the conference was called "DevOps" to make developers think it was also for them. Neither of these primary sources said that we should erode or replace ops people; or that it was ever intended to be a role or individual responsibility. This is a lie that corpo's have made to reduce headcount.

On “DevOps Is Bullshit (2022)”

…gmented, but it was ops pushing VCS; infrastructure as code via cfengine; cluster management with clustered ssh clients (cssh). I was there, I saw this. It's hard to differentiate between the slow march of progress of operations tooling (rebranded as devops tooling) and the fact that it might not actually be linked to devops as a methodology. 0: link to this video 1: link…
