Ops is the past! DevOps is the present ! SRE is for giants! NoOps is the future! Fowler even says that a DevOps Engineer is an anti-pattern! So will our job disappear in 10 years? What can we do about it? What is the next set of skills that we need? A startup is often a precursor to larger changes. I'll tell you what we are trying to do at Curve, a Fintech startup where developers build Kubernetes clusters and the SRE team codes microservices.

1. Ops is dead. Long Live Ops.
We’re not done, yet.

2. About me...

11. We don’t even need a master of coin !

12. What about state ?

13. Serverless is perfect ®

14. Time to get a new job ?

15. Not all rainbows and unicorns...

16. Serverless is not (always) cheap !

17. NO...NoOps ?

21. High level goals of an operations team
Scalability
Compliance
Availability
Failure ToleranceReliability
Security
Economics

22. Collaboration
Production
Meetings
Join early
Feature
Design
Production
Readiness
Checklist
and
meeting

23. Platform engineering
Distributed systems concerns :
- Circuit breaking
- Retrying, Caching
- System monitoring
- Graceful degradation
- Rate limiting
Compliance.
Separation of concerns and duties.
NoOps:
Developers should not worry about
where the code will be deployed, or
where to test it !
Capacity Sizing
Load testing
Know your SaaS !
To worry about the platform, rather than the infrastructure...

24. Guided ownership
Developers on-call Monitoring
services
Chatbots
Floating engineer
Operational
training
Postmortems
over runbooks
SSH on production
nodes

25. Me & my code
Collaborate in
choosing a DB
engine and the
libraries
You can’t afford to
stay away from the
code
Code in the library
you chose
Own one or more
microservices:
QAutomator

26. Business value
Create dashboards,
presentations
Make procedures as
simple as possible
There is ZERO business value in :
updating nginx to 1.12.1
There is a business value of 4 million pounds in preventing
data leaks because of a bug in nginx 1.12.0, according to GDPR.
Reduce development
feedback loop
Don’t be scared
of talking money

27. The real anti-patterns :
“I code in Python but I’m not a developer”
Learning Terraform instead of Infra as
Code
Control instead of collaboration
Defining SLAs instead of user churn rate

28. Distributed systems
engineer
IT PRO/
Operations
DevOps
Engineer
The real value of a DevOps engineer is not in code or configuration but
in the culture of sharing and collaboration we take with us.
