| cant believe so many people still get it wrong. devops means Developer/Operations. means, the sysadmin/sysops/ops guy now has to know things about development to center his daily-doing around code (ideally the code dictates what is going on [Infrastructure as Code]). a very simple example to this:
back then the ops guy or sysadmin did everything by hand. today, he uses code to get things done. bash vs. a HTTP JSON API. manually by hand vs. ansible [markup language yaml], etc. so many people just dont know or understand what devops means. but it is so easy. it is the fusion of development and operations. thus, while you need two people back then, now you only need one person to do the same job. a devops is a sysadmin who ideally knows how to code. a devops is a developer who evolved into a sysadmin or is doing both because he learned it. devops is development/operations. it has nothing to do with agile, waterfall or a "mindset". |
