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.
