The sad state of sysadmin in the age of containers (2015)
The clearest explanation of why this happens is at the end:<p><i>Before, admins would try hard to prevent security holes, now they call themselves “devops” and happily introduce them to the network themselves!</i><p>1) The merging of devs into the sysadmin role was a product of:
the work of sysadmins (particularly systems change control and security compliance) not being valued in our culture.<p>2) Devs delighted to be free of the shackles placed upon them by sysadmins who were encumbered by the concerns expressed in this article.<p>If you were a devop who resolved to fix the problems bemoaned in this article, my guess is you would turn around in 60 days to discover you&#x27;d become a sysadmin.
