In this episode, I (Dormain) am joined by Rita Manachi (@ritam) and Derrick Harris (@derrickharris) to dissect three analyst reports:
- Forrester's Top 10 Trends That Will Shape Modern Infrastructure and Operations in 2020
- Gartner's Application Modernization Should Be Business-Centric, Continuous, and Multiplatform
- Gartner's Best Practices to Enable Continuous Delivery with Containers and DevOps
What we observe are that many of these insights and recommendations are related to each other. Process and automation, for example, are like two sides of the same coin. Automation plays a big part in modern I&O and continuous delivery, but what are you automating? A process. At some point—possible to automate at all—processes need to be revisited. Product thinking and the role of containerization in dev ops and modernization are also themes that cut across these reports.
