This is one valid perspective on DevOps. If you're starting an organization, you definitely should bake DevOps work into the Developers from the beginning.
But changing this culture in an established company is less easy. Instead of upgrading an entire development team to be DevOps masters, many companies would rather "bolt-on" DevOps, and they're hiring for a person to manage the CI or deployment tools and codebases for the team. Some even have a goal of having the DevOps worker backtrain the other developers. It's kinda like hiring/contracting a Cisco expert instead of teaching your team how to subnet.
Should companies expect to have to re-roll their developer teams just to have DevOps abilities?
- BerislavLopac 11y agoI believe that this process is going in the direction of removing the differences between devs and ops -- rather, everyone will be able to write code, except that some people will be more specialized in some areas. Just like now we have full stack developers who specialize in front end or back end; in fact, the servers are increasingly becoming just another layer in the stack, with tools like vagrant and docker assisting in the process.
