PeopleCert DevOps Foundation Exam - Topic 8 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for PeopleCert's DevOps Foundation exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 8
[All DevOps Foundation Questions]

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of DevOps?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A fast flow of unplanned work into production is not a characteristic of DevOps. In fact, DevOps practices strive to minimize unplanned work (like emergency changes or outages) through automation, testing, collaboration, and rigorous change control. The other options---ensuring organizational success, working toward a common goal, and world-class stability/reliability---are all key DevOps characteristics. Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.4; State of DevOps Report.

I recall that stability and reliability are key in DevOps, so D should be a characteristic. C feels like the right choice for what doesn't belong.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify what doesn't fit in a DevOps context. I think C is the odd one out here too.

I remember discussing how DevOps focuses on collaboration and efficiency, so I think C might be the answer since unplanned work isn't ideal.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know DevOps is about breaking down silos and aligning teams, but I'm not sure how that relates to the options here. I'll have to review my notes and come back to this.

Okay, I've got this. DevOps is focused on things like automation, monitoring, and delivering value quickly, so the answer that doesn't fit is C. Unplanned work going straight to production is the opposite of what DevOps aims for.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know DevOps is all about collaboration and continuous improvement, but I'm not sure if "fast flow of unplanned work" is the right answer. Let me think this through a bit more.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is C - fast flow of unplanned work into production, since that goes against the core principles of DevOps.

Unplanned work in production? That's like saying 'Hey, let's just throw a grenade into the server room and see what happens!' Not exactly the DevOps way, if you ask me.

Wait, is 'Ensuring overall organizational success' not a characteristic of DevOps? Then what is it, ensuring overall organizational failure? Seems like a pretty important goal to me!
