The History of DevOps in 30 minutes
summary
Covers a decade of operational shifts with concrete claims and engineering fixes: logs hit FAT32 4GB and inode limits, cloud cuts provisioning time, microservices and Kubernetes drive up failure modes, Prometheus makes metrics efficient. Presents data points — 30% of ingested observability data is never touched, 99% of indexed queries stay under seven days, observability eats 10–30% of cloud spend — and a concrete alternative: ingest to customer cloud storage (S3), query there with dynamic materialization and make indexing optional.
