Operationalizing DevOps Teaching
summary
Claim: giving developers concrete operational knowledge leads them to operate services. Experiments include 50-person classes (SNS), one-to-one mentorship (Cronjobs) and a DevOps Girls workshop ($44, open‑source repo). An 18‑month graduate rotation (five cohorts, 14 grads this year) and internal curriculum emerge; mentorship consistently closes the surprising “Swiss cheese” gaps faster than broadcast learning. The mentorship model pairs experts with juniors shoulder‑to‑shoulder, produces domain experts who then mentor others, and powers sustainable propagation of operational capability.
