DevOps: as you make your bed so you must lie in it.
I wholeheartedly agree that DevOps should not be a role. However, the current reality is that IT IS a role.
During a DORA community meeting (dora.community), the recurring question, “Is DevOps a role?” surfaced once again. My daughters are peacefully asleep so I’ve decided to delve into this topic.
Over the past seven years, I’ve dedicated five years to leading a “DevOps” team, and for the last year, I’ve served as the Head of DevOps and Platform Engineering.
