The DevOps of Everything

John Willis at AppSec USA 2014

The DevOps movement is going to celebrate it’s fifth anniversary this October. I was fortunate enough to attend the inaugural event in Ghent in October 2009. Over the past five years I have been deeply involved with this movement as a practitioner, evangelist and all out junkie. Although the movement started out as a problem statement to solve developer and operations collaboration, it quickly moved into other disciplines such as security, networking and storage. In this presentation we will take a look at the Devops affect on things like Converged Infrastructure, Software Defined Networking, Software Defined Data Center and of course IPSec. We will start out with a quick overview covering the past, present and future of Devops. Then we will end up with a comprehensive roadmap of how Devops is kind of becoming the core of everything happening in IT.
