PaylocityDevOps Engineer (Remote)
Aug. 2014 - Jan. 2021Nine Mile fallsDevOps, Need I say more? Well, yes. I need to say more. DevOps means different things to different people. Here's my scoop. Software people are innovators. They explore. They experiment. They create. They drive change. Operations people are stabilizers. They service. They support. They secure. They ensure functional stability. Where they meet in either very stressful, or there is a DevOps department a DevOps mentality. Our mission is to provide additional agility to the development teams and additional stability to the operations teams. We do that by being seeded with responsibility from both sides. The Operations teams hand over some operations control for lower environments and developer needs. We use that authority to provide services to the Development teams with less process restriction. The Development teams hand over some control of their processes and are they accept additional restrictions in upper environments. We take that authority to lock down a deployment process that provides the best, most stable, product to the Operations Team. So, the gears that drive technology are Development and Operations. DevOps is a lubricating team. We are the grease that makes the gears turn better. We make happy machines. ;-)
