randybias Jan 30, 2016 1:46 am This is great, but I'm disappointed that you didn't really talk about the genesis of many of these ideas. DevOps is simply the coalescence of work that was being done at web-scale businesses. I saw the 2009 presentation of Allspaw's and spent time with him and many other presenters at that Velocity conference and these notions behind DevOps were widely in use within Amazon, Google, and others. It is true there was no terminology around it and that the #DevOps movement really helped to crystallize and educate others, but it's really a bummer that this history doesn't really go back to more like 2000-2002 where the seeds for DevOps were well and truly planted.
