That is actually an example of the old style of IT. The person deploying the software had no idea how it worked on an internal level. The person who wrote the software had no idea how it was actually deployed in production. They didn't have a quick rollback in place (this is the exact reason you have quick rollback ability) The deploy was done by hand, with a user typing. That is probably the biggest risk you can have in a production system. It means that fully repeatable builds in test & pre production are impossible. I am not saying "DevOps" would fix this, but a bit of empathy / comunications between the dev team and ops team might have averted it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Capital_Group#2012_stock... |
