Today we opened a new neighborhood or section here on devopsy.kinsta.cloud. It is called the CD neighborhood and it will feature content on CD and related content. The neighborhood is sponsored by CA Technologies, who will also contribute content to the new neighborhood.
CA authored content will be clearly marked. CA employees have contributed by lined articles to devopsy.kinsta.cloud for a long time and they have some great DevOps thought leaders. Recently they have also acquired Blazemeter and just announced the intent to acquire Automic as well. This should mean even more great content from them.
But CA is not the only content provider for the new CD neighborhood. The devopsy.kinsta.cloud staff writers will be contributing to the neighborhood on a regular basis. In addition, contributed articles that are on theme will also be posted here on a near daily basis. In fact I encourage you to submit your thoughts on CD to me at [email protected], if you have something to say on the subject.
In addition to written articles, the CD neighborhood will also host both audio and video content that is on point. Many will come from our DevOpsTV YouTube channel and DevOps Chats hosted on SoundCloud.
With CD being such an important part of DevOps we think that the CD neighborhood is going to be a favorite destination for many of you. We will do our best to keep it fresh, informative and useful!
