The goal of DevOps is to get code as developed to testing, staging, production. The deeper objective should be transfer of context- what is being deployed? do we know how? does it work as tested? and the who. As much DRY to reduce surprises and increase precision all through dev to deploy cycle.

Some of the best open source projects have CI included- thats the right approach to DevOps -- its not an alien, bolt-on after the fact practice, its code that takes care of code.
