It isn't necessary DevOps or system admin not capable. You've vendor software not up-to-date that is beyond your control, and often users do not know until vendor sends a notification or a hack headline comes online then "oh fuck" moment.
Just to be fair too: I have seen a number of enterprises run their "legacy" infrastructure (mostly refereing to on-premise servers and old applications) doing a good job keeping up with updates such as Microsoft and whatever Linux flavor they use. But the new system/DevOps havr trouble getting through the gate, mostly IMO because we adding too many layers to the stack.
- sverhagen 9y agoYour first paragraph, do you find any of that a valid excuse for a company like Equifax, who handle so much sensitive data? _I_ consider them responsible for the entire chain. I understand it's hard, makes no difference with those stakes.
- yeukhon 9y agoNo, not at all. My point was DevOps is not a magical group of wizards, and often DevOps team can be unproductive compared to whatever enterprise IT operation team/client service team. If DevOps is unable to carry out its core values, yes, entite chain is to be critized.
