DevOps Road Blocks
summary
Night Capital’s deployment error costs $400 million in three hours after a test flag activates one of eight servers, illustrating a catastrophic network is fire engine red blind spot while compute automation scales from 1:100 to 1:10,000 servers per admin. Network provisioning still takes days to months versus compute minutes or containers 500 milliseconds startup. SDN split of control and data plane enables microsegmentation; Arista, Cumulus and Open Compute move networking toward software. Docker images make artifacts portable; many enterprises report Docker only in labs so far.
