DevOps - Modern Slogan or a Practical IT trend?

Also, DevOps is not a profession. Today, you can find a lot of DevOps roles or skill sets that software companies are trying to find. DevOps-specialist is a kind of a system administrator who very much wants to make software programming code modification. His responsibilities include monitoring and coordinating all stages of product promotion—from planning to customer use. In doing so, it acts as a "buffer," the link between the stages. Of course, for this he must have knowledge in each of the professions. It turns out that a man and a ship. In fact, the only way to become a DevOps specialist is to know the general concept, a couple of programming languages and interest to do more. This is an ideal role for the people like me, with computer programming education and little development skills but with extensive experience in IT infrastructure.

What I leaned across multiple projects and departments setup is that DevOps will touch everyone in your IT organization. The evolution of software development goes to minimizing the time between the planning, release and modification stages. Eventually, traditional practices will not be able to compete with products that have a permanent effective feedback. Accordingly, large companies have already adopted the concept of DevOps, and small companies are looking for the opportunities to do so, with minimal financial and organizational changes. So, if you want to be part of IT, it's likely that you'll soon have to get to know DevOps.

In addition, there is a very good book from O'Reilly–“What is DevOps.” Here, the formal language describes all the concepts and steps for implementing DevOps in your head and in the company.
