ITIL , formerly an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library , is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business.
ITIL has been around for a long time, and has helped large teams (particularly those that are heavily regulated) manage the way services are delivered in a predictable and consistent way, as a way to mitigate risk . DevOps, as we know, has a very similar goal.
What is the relationship between DevOps and ITIL? What can one learn from the other? is it ITIL vs. DevOps, or ITIL and DevOps? Can they co-exist?
On the next episode of #c9d9 we're discussing ITIL and DevOps :

  • What are the similarities and the differences between DevOps and ITIL?

  • Do they complement each other, or are they at odds?

  • How can teams who already subscribe to an ITIL-way of working adopt DevOps practices, and where should they focus their efforts?

  • How you can foster DevOps practices in large, ITIL-based organizations?

Join us on March 8 at 10am PST to learn more from these speakers:
