After attending the IBM software group analyst summit, it was clear that IBM is going “all in” on DevOps. This is not only product-wise, but internally as well. I hope to be covering this topic more. In the meantime, for 451 clients, here’s my report on the topic, and the summary out-take:
These activities feel like the start of IBM kicking off a new multi-year initiative: enabling its usual large enterprise customer base to take advantage of devops to deliver software to market with faster feedback loops.

Now the hard work begins – building it all and bringing the resulting portfolio to market year after year.
