DevOps is everywhere. This combination development/operations approach has significantly matured over the past five years, in turn leading to increased adoption: In 2016, just 47% of companies had implemented a DevOps approach. Today, that number is 74%.
Despite widespread implementation, however, DevOps is very much a developing field. Organizations are still finding their feet when it comes to effective implementation of this approach at scale, and new iterations — such as DevSecOps, GitOps, and even NoOps — are on the horizon.
There’s always something new to learn about DevOps. So, where do you even start? We’ve got you covered: Here are 25 podcasts to help you learn more about the world of DevOps that you can listen to anywhere.
