\u201cDevOps is about creating a collaborative environment between the development team and the operations team, and aligning goals and incentives between those two teams. Because so many of the problems that we encounter in life, not just even in technology, are due to misalignment of goals."

Jeffery Smith is the author of \u201cOperations Anti-Patterns, DevOps Solutions\u201d and the Director of Production Operations at Centro.
