The fact that we have a “devops team” at work infuriates me. It’s enough to distract me me from how “Scrum” has destroyed Agile.

What is so horrible about it? Our devs are happy they can focus on fixing unit tests in pycharm, while others care about where the code is going.

The creation of DevOps teams instead of SRE / Platform seems pretty common and I think originates from ignorant engineering leaders and poorly defined roles and responsibilities. You want to leverage the expertise of the folks who focus on cloud infrastructure, but you can't move the responsibility of operations away from the application teams without seriously compromising incentives that effect quality, throughput and reliability.

I think there is room for a DevOps team if they are focused on creating and maintaining the overall DevOps platform. But if they are taking tickets and setting up pipelines for individual applications, they are doing it wrong.

But a team focused on making a streamlined platform with ready to adopt patterns that already account for compliance and security related concerns, they can spread DevOps adoption more effectively and consistently throughout the organization.

Can you expand on what you mean by this? Specifically: "you can't move the responsibility of operations away from the application teams without seriously compromising incentives that effect quality, throughput and reliability"

Because that is the software developer/systems engineer division that already existed 20 years ago.

The idea behind devops was to be a single team.
