BOCA RATON, Fla. - TelAve -- MediaOps Opens Nominations for the DevOps Dozen² 2020 Awards to Honor the Top Leaders and Innovators in the DevOps Community

The DevOps Dozen awards are back for their 6th year, expanded to 24 award categories to highlight the most innovative and outstanding companies and individuals who have demonstrated their leadership and commitment to the DevOps community.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 16, 2020 —  MediaOps (https://mediaops.com/), the place to tell your story in the most powerful way, has opened nominations for the sixth annual DevOps Dozen awards, now through Oct. 15. This year's awards include 24 categories in total, twice the number of awards in previous years.

There are a dozen awards in each of the two main sections of awards this year:

• DevOps Dozen Tools and Services Awards: These vendor awards recognize the most innovative companies developing and selling outstanding solutions to empower developers, DevOps and IT operations teams. Each entry costs $250 to prevent ballot stuffing, irrelevant entries and to help cover costs. Vendors may nominate themselves.

• DevOps Dozen Community Awards: Closer to the original vision of the DevOps Dozen, these awards celebrate organizations and leaders who have accomplished outstanding achievements and made significant contributions to the DevOps community. The nominees with the highest number of votes in each category will advance to the finals. Only one or two entries in each category will be allowed per nomination. There are no nomination fees in this category, but it is not open to commercial entities.
