Final remarks

I have four final remarks before I say goodbye. Let’s take a look.

Do not use DevOps to mask cost-cutting initiatives

I’ve seen this happen in several contexts and it never worked in the long run. You can optimize your operating expenses through DevOps outcomes, and you should aim for that. But having cost-cutting initiatives as your top DevOps priority without creating decisive efficiencies and adding end value is just wrong. Yes, it may make your balance sheet look better, but your daily operational reality will most probably get worse and be unsustainable in the long term. Also, your people are not of low mental capital. They will understand your incentives early on and plan their futures accordingly. The people on the ground care about building great solutions, not the cost/income ratio.
