Continuous Discussions (#c9d9) Podcast: Episode 36 — ITIL and DevOps

this morning on continuous discussions we had itil and devops go into the ring – and only one came out the winner: the service.

we had some of the best minds in the itil/itsm/devops space to talk to us about how they help organizations adopt devops principles that are aligned with the spirit behind the itil principles.

some of what we discussed:

• what are the similarities and the differences between devops and itil?
• do they complement each other, or are they at odds?
• how can teams who already subscribe to an itil-way of working adopt devops practices, and where should they focus their efforts?
• how you can foster devops practices in large, itil-based organizations?
