Learn about topics like deployment, automation, technical debt, release management, configuration management, developer space operations, release management, virtualized environment setup, continuous deployment, and data center automation.

The DevOps movement, put simply, is a push from the software industry to have better interaction and productivity between developers, testers (QA), and Operations (IT).  It espouses that each of these professionals should at least have a group of ambassadors with a multidisciplinary skill set.  They should be comfortable with infrastructure as well as testing, debugging, and shipping features. The DevOps Zone seeks to encourage these ambassadors and help them share ideas to make software production and IT more successful.
