We are very proud to announce the winners of the 2021 DevOps Dozen² Awards. Over the past seven years, DevOps Dozen² Awards Meet the stars of the DevOps community. Over the years, we’ve expanded our awards to honor dozens of DevOps tools and services as well as dozens of the best and brightest in the DevOps community.
Every year it is difficult to choose only one winner from each category. There are so many worthy contenders that even reducing each category to six or seven finalists is tough.
Once you pick the finalists in each category, things get even more difficult. my fellow judges)Mitchell AshleyAnd Jane GrolAnd Helen Bell And John Willis) and I try to look at the popular vote and use it to guide us. But we’re also very knowledgeable about the space and try to make these prizes more than just a popularity contest.
I know this may sound cliched, but it’s really true – every single finalist in this year’s DevOps Dozen² Awards will be deserving of an award in their category. Congratulations to them all. You can see the full list of finalists here.
