ServiceNow has acquired Sweagle, a provider of a repository for collecting configuration data that makes it easier to manage IT environments at scale. RJ Jainendra, vice president and general manager of DevOps and IT business management at ServiceNow, said Sweagle advances the DevOps initiative his company launched last year by providing a way for IT teams to more easily share configurations created by a variety of tools within a single repository.

Sweagle provides an opportunity to bring some order to what historically is a set of IT processes that are becoming more complex as organizations embrace microservices based on containers and serverless computing frameworks.

As is the case with any philosophy, there are proponents of DevOps and ITIL frameworks that are not given to compromise.

However, most of those applications are now being accessed by devices that are more distributed than ever now that more people are working from home.
