Kris Buytaert gave a talk on DevOps at DrupalCon Munich in 2012. He discussed how the silos between development and operations created problems, and how the DevOps movement aims to break down those barriers through automation, collaboration, and continuous delivery. DevOps is not defined by specific tools but by cultural and process changes like integrating operations work into the entire software lifecycle from early on. The talk covered challenges like managing data and environments across different stages and how tools like Vagrant and configuration management can help address them.
