Hi Riyad,

Thanks for your comment. I agree that the future is IaaS. This blog and the brief focus on how to transition to DevOps using your existing UCS infrastructure and management software. IaaS is not limited to automation and orchestration at the subsystem level. It includes orchestration across different types of infrastructure and level 4-7 network services. UCS Director is Cisco's IaaS platform, providing both orchestration and self-service provisioning.

If you'd like to learn about innovative software and where Cisco is going, I recommend you read about Project Contiv. It is an open source project defining infrastructure operational policies for container-based application deployment. You can read more about it in this blog, http://blogs.cisco.com/datacenter/project-contiv.
