Webcast: PaaS for Ops, featuring Redmonk's James Governor There's a lot of noise lately about "NoOps" - the idea that you can dispense with a large portion of your IT workflow by outsourcing data and application hosting. Sometimes, we need to dispense with terms like "NoOps" and focus on what the software actually does, and how it fits in to evolving Ops roles. In this webcast, Redmonk's James Governor and our technical writer Troy Topnik discuss how to bridge the divide between Dev and IT. Watch the webcast now. Hey IT!
