Microsoft launches new open-source projects around Kubernetes and microservices
  OAM is essentially a YAML file. 
  It can be put in a service catalog 
  or marketplace and deployed from there. 
  But what’s maybe most important, says 
  Russinovich, is that the developer can hand 
  off the specification to the ops team and the 
  ops team can then deploy it without having to 
  talk to the developer.

This statement sounds very backwards to me. Isn't this increasing the separation between devs and ops which we want to get rid of?
