Name: 15 years of #devops, but what have we really learned?

10 years ago we had the idea to organise a conference in Gent to bridge the gap between developers and the people runing their code. It was the start of a new global movement. We never predicted that #devops would be where #devops is today. The word devops has evolved, the community has evolved.

Docker has solved all of our problems, the ones left behind were solved by Kubernetes. Everybody and their neighbour is Scrum certified now and we are all happily sipping cocktails on the beach. Or not? Why after almost 10 years of pushing culture change, teaching about Infrastructure as Code, teaching about Monitoring and Metrics … and helping people to share both their pain and their learnings are most organisations still struggling with software delivery?

Over the years the word devops lost it’s meaning; at least it’s original meaning. The real challenge for the next decade will be to see how we can revive those original values and ideas, if at all… Can we fix Devops?

This meetup starts at 20:00.

This meetup will happen in the offices of [Bits of Love](https://www.bitsoflove.be/). The parking space is limited, so it's advised to come on time (or by bike). You can also park your car in [the parking space at the roundabout](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bnNoe1ZnGJq47Qru7), or [the parking strip in the Rijselstraat](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tKpf7aTJmUaZ8GP68).

He hasn't blogged for a while but people still point out the title of his blog. Titled "Everything is a Freaking DNS Problem", it can be found at [http://www.krisbuytaert.be/blog/](http://www.krisbuytaert.be/blog/)
