The Myth of the Certified DevOps Engineer
You can´t buy DevOps – neither with tools, nor with certifications!

But also,
DevOps is not for free -
it requires investment!

Frequently Observed
Anti-Patterns
(FOAP)

Photo by Alexander Andrews on Unsplash
“We are the new DevOps
department!”
- Still siloed
- No communication

Photo by Pat Whelen on Unsplash
“We have a DevOps team
now. They are setting up
the pipelines for us.”
- No communication
- No Transparency

Photo by Kyle Glenn on Unsplash
“We have a linter now.
But it gave too
many warnings.”
- No understanding
- No trust
- Fear

Photo by Immo Wegmann on Unsplash
“We are measured by the
number of features, we
develop. But we should not
talk to sales or after-sales.”
- Feature Factory
- Wrong metrics
- No communication
- Still siloed

Photo by Amarnath Tade on Unsplash
“IT has not reported
any problems!”
- Be open to the obvious
- What is monitored?
- No business relevant metrics

“They are now in the cloud.
Now there are updates
during our production time.
So, we have a lot of problems.”
- No user focus
- Wrong metrics? / Deploys/day

Build the wrong thing
right – but faster!
Performance is not everything

DevOps means more than just Automation

DevOps is more like Hiking:
- Prepare yourself
- Get familiar with the environment
- Have a clear goal
- Who is with you?
- Be prepared for the unexpected
- No one-size-fits-all solution
