CTO View on DevOps Transformation
summary
CTO-level view argues that DevOps succeeds only when two concrete pillars exist — cognitive trust through measurable delivery and tooling (Jenkins GitLab Docker Puppet Chef IaC CI/CD pipelines) and emotional trust through mindset and collaboration — and proposes a change sequence (unfreeze → change → freeze), a path from CI to continuous delivery to continuous deployment, and tactics to get funding: present KPIs, a remediation plan for tech debt, and position one trusted engineer as the informal rapid executor. Claims are pragmatic and anecdotal no hard outcome numbers are given.
