What is devops? Not even 'leaders' and 'practitioners' can agree
Data-as-a-service company Delphix has launched its first annual "State of DevOps" report, which attempts to gather data from "leaders and practitioners" across North American and European enterprises on how they see devops.

How DevOps is demanding a whole new approach to cloud
Cloud adoption is accelerating amongst businesses as they look to move their IT to a more efficient and streamlined process. This is often the business case for newer, more agile IT with complex distributed applications.

In combination with this, enterprise demands are not limited to a particular geography; they demand a global networked cloud infrastructure. Connecting traditional in-house IT (more often than not, systems of record) with cloud based agile IT (a.k.a systems of engagement) is the optimal solution today for most companies' IT requirements.
This involves a combination of private compute, network and storage, and public cloud infrastructure, the latter being far more DevOps friendly.
