"Once again, it's that time of year when our community steps into the spotlight. The DevOps Dozen is back - and nominations are officially open. If you've shipped something meaningful, mentored someone, elevated a team, or built the next great platform, this is your moment to share it with the world. Over the years, these awards have grown into a signal we can trust - honoring the people and products shaping how modern software gets built and run."
"For Tools & Services, there's a $300 fee - not to ring a cash register, but to keep spam out and ensure we're evaluating serious entries. If a commercial submission doesn't make the finalist cut, the fee is refunded. We also cap finalists at 10 per commercial category to keep the field competitive and focused. And as always, final selection blends public voting (40%) with judges' evaluation (60%) - a formula that balances community energy with experienced scrutiny."
The DevOps Dozen returns with 24 awards across Community (9) and Tools & Services (15) categories. The program emphasizes AI, platform engineering, and secure software supply chains. Community nominations are open and accessible. Tools & Services submissions require a $300 fee to deter spam; the fee is refunded if a commercial submission does not make the finalist cut. Finalists for commercial categories are capped at 10 to keep competition focused. Final selection combines public voting (40%) with judges' evaluation (60%). Tools/Services vendors are ineligible for three community awards. Categories include Agentic AI applications and supply chain security among others.
