Evolution of Operations Meme

EVOLUTION OF OPERATIONS OPS • PRIMORDIAL, PROTOZOIC • BORN IN THE SWAMPS OF PERL • OPERATES IN A SINGLE-CELL SILO • SURPRISINGLY RESISTENT DevOps • A CROSS-FUNCTIONAL MARVEL • VASTLY INCREASED AGILITY • SECRETLY JUST A BUNCH OF SINGLE CELLS THAT HAVE LEARNED NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER DevSecOps • MORE ADVANCED, MORE PARANOID • SECURITY IS AUTOMATED RIGHT INTO ITS DNA • KNOWS THAT SHARED RESPONSIBILITY IS THE ONLY ESCAPE FROM FOSSILIZATION DevSecMlOps • WHAT EVEN IS THIS? • IS IT A FISH WITH FEET? • WE SHOULD PROBABLY LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A FEW MILLION YEARS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TriceratOps • DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR ORG STRUCTURE • VULNERABLE ONLY TO DIRECT METEOR STRIKES • WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT, AGAIN?

A cartoon shows the evolution of operations teams from a primitive single-cell OPS organism into increasingly complex DevOps, DevSecOps, DevSecMlOps, and finally a stubborn TriceratOps dinosaur. The joke parodies biological evolution while poking fun at layers of IT methodology, security concerns, organizational complexity, and obscure acronyms.
