OPS BLOCKERS

PROCESS

Human Approvals &
validation process

CONTROL

Organization Hierarchy
permission and control

STRATEGY

Resistance to changes &
avoiding improvements

TEAMS

Onboarding, knowledge
sharing, collaboration

2030 ROADMAP

MIGRATIONS

Migrations of deprecated services, old OSS and legacy. Managing production with zero risks

VERSIONING

Ensure consistent versioning, maintenance, and security across all layers

Change / Improve

"Don't touch approach" - Barriers to adapting, modifying, rolling back

Multi cloud

Migrate apps to new cloud, centralize shared services

Standardization

AI-generated configs with inconsistent styles - Tower of Babel

Tracking

No centralized view for Audit, SecOps, Observability, OPEX
