There's always been a gap between the devs and ops. And one of the core side effects of this gap is the knowledge transfer problem. With the devpops movement you have devs doing production deploys where the ops (or even other devs) might not know exactly what's running out there:
"some IT landscapes contain components that people don't know how to recreate especially since the person that created the component has left the company" , "if we consider multiple layers of microservices then it can be quite disconcerting that some of those lower order component layers maybe in a position that we cannot recreate".
The knowledge transfer problem between the devs and ops is not really a technical problem. It's a human communication problem. With the new tools (like containers and microservices) it manifests itself in a slightly different way allowing you to deal with the communication problems further down the line (because you can deploy a black box container without breaking other things running on the same machine/VM), but you still need to transfer that knowledge.
I'm curious if there's a market for tools and products that automate this knowledge transfer...
