While increasing automation is a key goal, organizations will lose their derived efficiency if enablement is arduous and time-consuming. If SRE teams don’t identify a more efficient approach to DevOps from day one, they will undoubtedly find more of their time drained in the future. A shift to SRE-driven engineering takes hold.
