As a philosophy, DevOps is pretty new, and it’s evolved very quickly. That rapid evolution has meant tremendous transformational opportunity, but building for the present left many tools, and the processes behind them, obsolete as soon as they hit the market. DevOps toolmakers have long been focused on solving discrete, easily understood problems, while DevOps has always aimed at solving bigger problems and looked to a more collaborative, productive transformation. You knew that when you tried to calm the chaos by implementing standards (BIC DevOps). You knew that when you tried those tools into a servant of your larger ambitions with DIY DevOps integrations. But in the end, tools were creating almost as much work as they automated.
