Nope.
Operations is a pure cost center. Cost centers only exist for the express purpose of being compressed twice as much this month as they were last month, so that you can make them half as expensive.
Developers are valuable. They create value.
When all the good Operations staff has left because they're tired of being treated like mushrooms, all the Operations stuff gets thrown over the wall and then the Developers get told that they are now DevOps.

- sankumsek 8y agoNot trying to diminish it's role or value, but wouldn't security be kinda looked as a cost center as well?

- toomuchtodo 8y agoThat’s a really good point as it relates to costs between security and ops. My hunch would be downtime is your own business, but data and financial loss is everyone’s (either through liability, legislation, or insurance costs).
