Anonymous Feb 14, 2023 1:53 pmI view DevOps as bring Operations into being a peer of Development.For the longest time, Operations has been underfunded and has lacked technology support. Tasks have been done manually and directly, for the first time, done on production equipment. Even recently, we have seen major outages by a large organization due to some sort of DNS change. Where are the test environments or simulations (many production environments are too large to reproduce) to verify these types of changes? Where is the technology to actively push these changes to the appropriate devices (rather than wait for them to eventually propagate)? Where is the incrementalism and parallelism to mitigate large scale problems?I agree that there are other facets, such as security and business that can also benefit, though I feel a separate term would provide better focus and not diminish all in an acronymn fog.
