Evolution of Operations

EVOLUTION OF OPERATIONS OPS • PRIMORDIAL, PROTOZOIC • BORN IN THE SWAMPS OF PERL • OPERATES IN A SINGLE-CELL SILO • SURPRISINGLY RESILIENT 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 RESPONSIBILITY 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 humorous evolution chart depicts stages of operations engineering as increasingly strange creatures, from a single-celled OPS organism to a triceratops-like TriceratOps. The joke mocks layers of DevOps, DevSecOps, and DevSecMlOps jargon by comparing organizational complexity to biological evolution and prehistoric monsters. It is used as a reaction to absurd technical terminology, overcomplicated team structures, or endlessly expanding engineering practices.
