DevOpsCon 2016: Interview with Damon Edwards

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

DevOps frames as a set of problems not a product and the concrete prescriptions are: treat work as a supply chain and make all work visible so management optimizes for flow not siloed efficiency. Stop creating one‑off configs — eliminate snowflakes — because manual fixes break automation and raise operational cost and rework. Reorganizing teams and tooling around flow reduces incidents, speeds delivery, and produces measurably saner workplaces.
