In this talk, we'll embark on a journey through the last ten years of DevOps evolution, examining the technologies and practices that have shaped our industry. From the rise of containerization to the proliferation of microservices, we'll explore how these innovations have revolutionized software delivery—but not without their fair share of stumbling blocks. We'll dissect the overzealous adoption of trendy tools, the pitfalls of "cargo cult" DevOps, and the challenges of balancing automation with human expertise.

As we reflect on a decade of DevOps mistakes, we'll also celebrate the transformative successes that have emerged from our collective learning. This session will provide valuable insights into the technologies we've embraced for better or worse, including configuration management tools, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native architectures. Attendees will gain a nuanced understanding of DevOps' past missteps and future potential, equipping them with the wisdom to navigate the next decade of software development and operations more effectively.
