Gets to the consumers. Fast!
The software created by software engineers only creates value for the company
when it gets to the consumers. The Continuous Integration
and Continuous Delivery practices make sure that this happens!
This is something that an software operations engineer would need to configure
and maintain.
Is robust
Providing a good experience to the user is not only the software engineers'
responsibility but also the software operations engineers' as well
A software operations engineer should understand how the system works, how it is
implemented and what kind of infrastructure is required in order
to make it be performant, reliable and robust.
Is observable
Observability has gained a lot of hype recently and for good reason! Observability is what enables the software operations engineers and software engineers to be proactive. It is all about noticing issues before they cause serious problems and if that didn't work out, then analyzing why serious problems happened. The two main parts of observability are monitoring and tracing.
