What are fetching DevOps analogies?

Problem

Some presenters use analogies to clarify a certain technology, e.g. Pizza as a Service 2.0 that explains the differences between different as-a-Service (aaS) stacks.

Advantages of this Pizza analogy is that it consists of multiple analogies, i.e. runtime aka pizza and homemade aka legacy.

When one Googles "DevOps analogy", various images are shown, but not of them is very catchy.

Definition of "fetching"

  • Show the image in a presentation



  • Talk 30 seconds about it



  • During the elevator pitch more and more people understand DevOps and it is completely clear by them.

Solution

Mostly for devs but knowledgeable to others with the "disaster girl" meme:
"Works on my machine.. Ops problem now!" This illustrates that lack of responsibility can endanger the whole company, and the value of software working only in a specific environment is not absolute.

Also, the matrix of hell. Adding Docker might seem as one column more, but containers will become to-go technology and the standard architecture on long term. So, you can run Docker containers also with Kubernetes or Apache Mesos.
