So we all know the tenets of DevOps - automation, full stack teams, cloud. In my transformation journey with a large IT organization I have learnt that some of these tenets are not always true. Too much of good thing can actually hurt.Here are some statements that will surprise you, come to this talk if you want to know why we made these choices:- The team did not fail pipelines with failed tests- The team did deploy code that had failed security scans- The team chose manual cloud deployments over automation- The team moved from Full Stack to a federated modelReally?!? Yes - of course there is more to this than meets the eye. I will explain what we learnt and how this can benefit everyone on their DevOps journey.If you are interested in hearing experiences that challenge your view of DevOps join me in this talk. I will share the mistakes and failures of my journey and how I mitigated over time. Our story has been bumpy and so are the stories of many out there. Let's exchange notes.
