 March 25, 2010 6:00 AM PDT =Understanding the cloud and 'devops'--Part 1= by [|James Urquhart] [|Share] Cloud computing has brought many changes to IT operations, and there are new organizations and technologies that operations professionals need to understand to embrace those changes. (Credit: **[|Flickr/John Menard]**) During a "**[|cloud operations boot camp]**" prior to the Cloud Connect conference in Santa Clara, Calif., last week, I spoke about theses changes and challenges. If you are interested in reviewing the slides from that presentation, titled "**[|The New DevOps Designers: Cloud and The Big Rethink]**," they are available at Slideshare.

(Credit: **[|cc Doug/Picasa]**) It is the reason that so many existing application architecture concepts work in the cloud, and it is the reason that so many developers are forced to address aspects of those architectures that they could skimp on or even ignore in the self-contained bubble of traditional IT. One of the most fascinating aspects of cloud's architectural forcing function is the way it forces developers to acknowledge the difference between two often conflicting "realities" that applications must live in; that of the physical world we humans live in each day, and that of the computing world, consisting of electronics, wires, and its own set of rules, captured in software form.
