Ten years and more passed since Patrick Debois coined the term DevOps, in 2009. In the IT world, nothing is definitive. All the technologies and techniques continue to evolve following an innovation trend that we cannot stop. We cannot merely say: 'I'm tired of changing; please give me a rest.' The only option is to be ready for the change. In DevOps, there is a significant change because of the rise of the cloud and the market, always more demanding.
