7 DevOps Myths
summary
Examines common misconceptions about DevOps, arguing that claims like 46x more deploys or 96x faster recovery are overused and that DevOps practices can scale beyond startups. Describes concrete tools and patterns—Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform on AWS, and CI/CD pipelines that include build, test and security scanners—and calls out failures such as hiring a single “DevOps” engineer or neglecting business-side continuous exploration while advocating measurable outcome-based evaluation.
