🚫 Avoid These DevOps Anti-Patterns!
💡 Not all DevOps implementations are truly DevOps.
This visual guide breaks down 8 common DevOps Anti-Types that can derail your transformation efforts.
If you’re doing any of the following… it might be time to rethink your approach:
🔸 Type A – Dev &amp; Ops in Silos (still throwing things over the wall?)
🔹 Type B – A ‘DevOps Team’ silo acting as a bottleneck
🟢 Type C – Devs think they don’t need Ops at all (dangerous!)
🔴 Type D – Treating DevOps as just a tools team
🟣 Type E – Rebranding SysAdmins and calling it DevOps
🟡 Type F – Ops embedded in Dev, but without real collaboration
🟠 Type G – Silos between Dev and DBAs = delayed releases
⚫ Type H – Fake SRE teams doing Ops without SRE practices
👉 Great DevOps isn’t about renaming teams or buying tools. It’s about culture, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
