What is ChatOps?

First there was Devops, now there's ChatOps.

C'mon! Stop the madness!

Wait, but why?

  • Single Interface that's familiar & easy to use
  • No custom logins
  • Multiple Integrations
  • Allows for a shared terminal concept (Think: tmux & screen)
  • Context sharing is simpler
  • More fun?
