From the editor

Adopting DevOps? Focus on culture.

DevOps is about software developers and operations teams collaborating to deliver new software features and services faster and more flexibly than they do now. You can also think of it as a strategic framework: Automate manual processes. Adopt a platform that supports how your people work and the tools they use. But without a cultural shift to reinforce better dev and ops collaboration, DevOps won’t work.

We want your DevOps to work. That’s what this issue of Red Hat Shares is all about.

Avoid DevOps culture shock

Check out Geffray’s blog series to learn what’s important for successfully adopting a DevOps culture.

Customer spotlight

Cisco speeds and simplifies application development

Cisco, a leading provider of networking solutions, wanted to develop apps faster. Previously, its developers had to request infrastructure and services from another group, adding months to timelines. A DevOps approach now gives its developers on-demand access to resources and to their choice of development languages—getting apps to market faster and more efficiently.
