Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of DevOps?

AEnsuring overall organizational success

BWorking towards a common goal

CFast flow of unplanned work into production

DWorld-class stability, reliability, availability and security

Show Suggested 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.

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!

I'm just going to go with option B. Working towards a common goal is definitely a characteristic of DevOps. The other options are just too silly to consider.

Oh come on, option A? Ensuring organizational success is like the whole point of DevOps. What kind of question is this?

Hmm, I think option D is the correct answer. DevOps is all about ensuring world-class stability, reliability, and security. Anything less would be unacceptable!

I'm pretty sure option C is not a characteristic of DevOps. I mean, who wants unplanned work in production? That's a recipe for disaster!
