This talk was given at Hackformers. Hackformers is an organization composed of information security professionals that are also Christians. The point of this talk is to show the wisdom behind devops and how the information security community should join forces with devops. Much of the wisdom in devops is the same as the Judeo-Christian values and proverbs that the Hackformers community shares.
