Cloud Computing is unquestionably one of the driving forces of DevOps, as the automation of operations transforms enterprise software development. DevOps, however, is more than a technology trend, as it represents a move toward silo-busting, self-organizing horizontal teams that drive business velocity. At the same time, enterprise Digital Transformation represents an upheaval across the enterprise, as customer preferences and behavior drive enterprise technology decisions. This transformation extends well beyond technology, however, as companies must rethink their organizational structure, moving toward silo-busting, self-organizing horizontal teams...sound familiar? DevOps, Digital, Cloud -- three separate transformative trends, or one mega-trend? Or perhaps nothing more than enough buzzwords to win at buzzword bingo? The big picture here isn't simply a shift in the way companies produce software, a rework of the customer experience, or automated outsourced infrastructure. It's an end-to-end change in the way enterprises work, as they transform into software-driven organizations.
