Christopher Merz (@merzdba), Principal Technologist at NetApp


What DevOps is and isn't has gotten a lot of attention in 2019. I recently had the chance to catch up with Christopher Merz at NetApp Insight to get their thoughts on DevOps. Christopher walks through his background and experience to where they see the current state of DevOps.

What's Your Experience Been Like with DevOps?

They used to say about DevOps, "You always want to hire the most intelligent capable and laziest sysadmin you can because they're going to automate themselves out of a job. Once they do that, you move them onto the next one. Hit the bottlenecks right. There you go. That's DevOps."
