The Wonderful (and Sometimes Funny) World of DevOps

We at hSo are incredibly passionate about the cloud and its potential. We provide cloud services after all! Over the past few weeks, we've covered devops, what it is and its partnership with the cloud. With the explosion of devops comes, of course, the parody twitter and tumblr accounts. We've also seen the memes that have risen out of the movement. So, here, we thought we'd share some of the funnier tweets and images we've come across regarding devops:

1. No collaboration equals a bad time!

4. Our favourite protagonist DevOps Bane on his relationship with the cloud:

Oh, you think cloud is your ally! You merely adopted cloud. I was born in it! Molded by it. I didn't see hardware until I was already a man.

7. Read this very carefully — it makes sense eventually:

8. Our favourite Khaal from Game of Thrones had this to say about the public cloud:

Khaleesi want move to public cloud, but where will Khalasar ride if is no datacenter? Who we can slay without 1U server?

9. When all else fails, keep the optimism flowing:

In devops optimist is person which is see glass as 99.999% full.

10. The one true message that every believer of devops wants you to have…:

if you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'devops' out of your vocabulary.

In all seriousness, while the above tweets illustrate the humour and funny jokes devops has created, there's no question devops has had a significant impact on businesses. It's going to be interesting to see where it's headed and what it will help achieve. And while we at hSo have had immense fun explaining the wonderful and magical world of devops, we feel this image is apt as a parting gift:
