DevOps dead? Not so fast.

Andrey Akselrod over at TechCrunch wrote "Managed services killed DevOps." He may think he's covering new ground proclaiming the death of DevOps in his article,  but he's not.  This story has been around for quite a while; tt's almost as old as the word DevOps itself.  Which altogether is a pretty short amount of time.  Here's Mike Gualtieri from five years ago with his take on the death of DevOps: "I don't Want DevOps.

The panacea of "Full Stack Developers" will not meet the needs. There are many large and complicated systems, that need a lot of attention to keep them running. And these systems are growing (think Internet of Things).   While the bar has been raised for when dedicated Ops is required, it has not gone away, and won't be going away anytime soon
