My personal view is NO.
It needs DevOps for sure, but not DevOps managers.
There is a simple explanation and a more well defined, elaborate explanation
to this question though.
The simple explanation first. A Manager's role needs to be associated with
some outcome. A Project Manager - is responsible for the outcome of
successful project, a Business Manager - is responsible for the outcome of a
growing and profitable business, a Service Manager - is responsible for
delivering improved service, etc. Devops is not an outcome. It's a means to
an end - that end being continuous delivery.
Does this mean I am okay with a Continuous Delivery Manager instead of a
DevOps Manager? Technically yes. If continuous delivery is the only desired
outcome. Typically it is not. The desired outcome is the predictable and 'on
demand' delivery of new functionalities from applications and ... (more)
I have an article in the recently released “DZone Guide to Building and
Deploying Applications on the Cloud” entitled “Fullstack Engineering in
the Age of Hybrid Cloud”. In this article I discuss the need and skills of
a Fullstack Engineer with relation to troubleshooting and repairing complex,
distributed hybrid cloud applications. My recent experiences with
troubleshooting issues with my Docker WordPress container only reinforce the
details I wrote about in this piece. Without my comprehensive understanding
of both the infrastructure and application layer I don’t believe I coul... (more)

While there has been much ado about interoperability, there are still no real
solutions, same as last year and the year before that. The large EHR vendors
who continue to dominate the market still maintain that interoperability is
all but solved, still can't connect EHRs across the continuum causing
frustration by providers and a disservice to patients. The ONC pays lip
service to the problem, but that is about it. It is time for the healthcare
industry to consider alternatives like middleware which has been proven in
other industries such as finance, retail and hospitality.

Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform.

May. 15, 2016 05:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,638 | By Liz McMillan  In the world of DevOps there are ‘known good practices’ – aka ‘patterns’ – and ‘known bad practices’ – aka ‘anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene.
In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit at 18th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists will dis... May. 15, 2016 04:45 PM EDT Reads: 1,725 | By Liz McMillan  Artificial Intelligence has the potential to massively disrupt IoT.

There are competing communications standards every step of the way, a bewildering array of sensors and devices, and an entire world of competing data analytics platforms.

Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy.

May. 15, 2016 10:30 AM EDT Reads: 1,165 | By Elizabeth White  The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, will discuss how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outer...
