Ops guys (almost entirely replaced by containerization).

(I kid, I kid)

No, "Ops" is legacy siloing of departments and by extension, tasks. Imagine driving a car, but it takes one person to do the steering and another person to do throttling. Seems pretty dumb, doesn't it?

To rephrase the article: everyone should and can go ops-less, you just need the devs to take over the ops roles.

Actually in most places I've seen 'ops' just turned into 'SRE'

Probably around the same time ops were deemed useless :)

Isn't that just "Ops"?

What do you mean by "Ops"?

jbellis | karma 4390 | avg karma 4.86 · | 2014-06-12 20:12:34+00:00

They are all ops/s.

Looks like someone reinvented operators. Or am I missing something here?

Don't you mean...ops? Hah...sorry puns :-/

yxhuvud | karma 3427 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2021-06-18 05:57:57

Well, they have space for 255 ops :)

We're a very small team so yeah I end up doing ops. I'd be nice to have a dedicated ops team but we're really far from that (and thankfully our setup has been pretty stable recently).

Opsworks.

jnordwick | karma 2641 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2017-04-21 13:23:14

Almost all web and ops :(

If I understand you correctly you mean that they are really Operations Engineers right?

quaa55 | karma 45 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2019-09-24 22:04:40+00:00

operators.

homakov | karma 4688 | avg karma 3.61 · | 2012-04-03 04:53:52+00:00

ops...

davidhoos | karma 25 | avg karma 0.81 · | 2016-05-17 18:31:46+00:00

What is OP?
