Len Bass - Why Architects should care about DevOps

You, as a software architect, probably have not paid much attention to DevOps believing that it has little to do with your role. After all, DevOps is a bewildering collection of tools that are independent of the system being manipulated. You are primarily concerned with the system you are working on and will leave the DevOps portion to someone else. You should reconsider. The roles of System Dependability Engineer or Product Engineer fit the description of the role of a software architect after a system has gone into production. Continuous deployment may lead to version skew and your design must be able to accommodate version skew. You make design choices that affect the visibility of operational performance. This talk will explore the portions of DevOps that a software architect should understand and incorporate in their activities.
