[chef] Why InfrastructureAsCode and DevOps?

[Torben Knerr < >]

Ohai everybody,

might be a bit off-topic / not chef specific, but for sure the people around here might be among the best ones to ask :-)

I'm looking for some high-level slides / blog posts / etc material to educate business about the value of infrastructure-as-code and devops practices and why it's vital to almost every project.

Pretty sure I could come up with some good technical arguments, but I'm lacking the economical facts & numbers.

There are probably thousands of articles about it. However, if you know some especially convincing or good ones, I'd be highly interested in it.

Cheers,

Torben
